A microwave oven is a household appliance that can be used for more than just heating food.

The device also copes well with a number of other household tasks.

Thus, a microwave oven allows you to clean some devices and simplify certain actions with food products.

How exactly do experienced housewives use a microwave oven?

Cleaning a cutting board

Before placing the board in the microwave, the wooden kitchen utensil should be wiped with a slice of lemon.

The device should be “heated” in the microwave oven for 60 seconds.

This way, the housewife won’t have to fiddle around and spend a lot of time cleaning the frequently used board.

Disinfection of the sponge

The microwave oven can easily handle the task of cleaning a kitchen sponge.

To make the item usable again for wiping surfaces, it must be soaked in clean water, wrung out and put in the microwave for 120 seconds. As a result, the sponge will get rid of dangerous microorganisms.

Still, it's better to buy a new sponge. It's not worth saving on this product.

Vegetable processing

The microwave oven is an ideal device for "processing" spicy vegetables.

An onion that has been in the microwave for half a minute will not cause tears in the person cutting the vegetable.

And garlic that has been in the microwave for a quarter of a minute will peel very easily.
