1. Remove a stamp. Philatelists can easily remove stamps glued onto paper. Just pour a few drops of water over the patch and put it in the microwave for 10 to 15 seconds. This method is also practical for removing stickers from children.
2. Transform the soft taco shells into crisp shells. Do you want to feel the crunch? Wrap lozch the size of a taco in coffee cups, one tortilla per cup. Cook in the microwave for one minute and “Hello, Tuesday tacos”.
3. 3. Refresh your pastries. Do not waste stale doughnuts. Place each doughnut in the microwave for 10 to 12 seconds and they will come out soft like pastries.
4. Increase the production of citrus juice. The next time you’re going to squeeze an orange or a lemon, microwave it for 20 to 30 seconds before you press or machine-drop it. The fruit will be softer and produce more juice.
5. Disinfect the glass. Pour water into a glass container and heat it in a microwave for two minutes to kill the germs without overheating the glass. This method is often used to sterilize Mason jars and baby bottles.
