Most often, a microwave oven is used to cook and reheat food. But it turns out that some owners of microwave ovens have found many more different ways to use such familiar household appliances.
Using a microwave, you can restore dried mascara. To do this, place a plate or glass of water in the oven, and put open mascara next to it. Only 30 seconds of heating is enough for dried mascara to become usable again.
For girls who prefer to do hair removal at home, a microwave will help melt the wax and phyto resin. It takes only 5 seconds for the wax to become soft.
The microwave oven can disinfect dishwashing sponges and cutting boards. A minute of heating at the highest power will reliably eliminate microbes.
Ground spices often lose their flavor, but can be returned using a microwave. Put the spices in the oven and turn on at full capacity. Just 10 seconds is enough.
A microwave is also useful for gardeners. Earth heated in the microwave for 2 minutes will become sterilized. If it is necessary to sterilize the compost, then it takes 7 minutes to warm up (the compost is sterilized in a closed container).
To treat a cold, you can do warming up with a bag of salt. Such a bag can be easily made independently: take a new clean sock and fill it with coarse salt. Salt, heated in the microwave for several seconds, will keep heat for about half an hour.
With the microwave, you can cook amazing things for children. Marshmallows or soap, placed in the oven, quickly and very strongly grow in size. Similar "clouds" are very popular with children.
