A microwave can transform cucumbers into pickles
The microwave can be used to cook food, as a drawer for proving, or even turn clay into pottery. What can it’t do, you ask? This appliance can be used to pickle cucumbers. It’s hard to believe, but it is true.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine mustard seeds, celery seed, turmeric, vinegar and sugar. After combining all of these ingredients, add some cucumber slices before placing the mixture in the microwave. You should only have to microwave them for eight minutes, but you will want to stir the mixture twice before they are done.
When you place a bar soap in the microwave, it can be a fun activity for children.
The kitchen is not a playground. There are still ways to keep your children entertained in the kitchen. Baking is probably the most obvious. If you prefer something less messy, then why not try making some clouds? You only need a microwave, and an ivory soap bar to achieve this.
Prepare to be amazed if you have never tried putting soap in the microwave. As the soap is heated, it will break up and expand. It will appear like a fluffy white cloud. Before you set the timer, place the soap onto some kitchen paper or on a microwaveable plate.
