Less than 1% of human beings have developed microwave ovens! These 10 "hidden usages" are unknown to many people
The microwave oven has always seemed to be a relatively "controversial" household appliance, some people think that the microwave oven is very practical, and some people think that the microwave oven is the "furnishing" of the kitchen.
In the past, I always thought that microwave ovens were very useful, but when I discovered the hidden use of microwave ovens, I realized that less than 1% of microwave ovens have been developed.
01 Rapid dough rising
If you forget to make the dough in advance, you can use the microwave oven to quickly make the dough, which can save the dough fermentation time, which is very convenient.
All you need to do is put the dough in the microwave and a cup of hot water.
You don't need to start the microwave, wait for the water in the cup to cool and then replace it with a cup of hot water, so that the dough can rise for about 30 minutes.
02 Quickly roast sweet potatoes
Many people don't know that in fact, the microwave oven can also be used to roast sweet potatoes, and the speed of roasting sweet potatoes is very fast, so you can also try it.
Wrap the washed sweet potatoes in a kitchen paper towel and put them directly in the microwave, taking care not to dry the water on the sweet potato skin, it will be better to retain a certain amount of moisture.
Put the wrapped sweet potatoes in the microwave, heat them on high heat for about 3 minutes, and then heat them on the reverse side for 3 minutes to get a delicious roasted sweet potato.
03Cut the onion easily
Usually, when we cut onions, we will be so spicy by the taste of the onions that we cry.
If you want to cut onions without being spicy to tears, you can also use the microwave oven at home.
Cut the onion in half and put it in the microwave for about 30 seconds on low heat, then cut the onion so that there will be no tears.
The reason why tears will flow when cutting onions is because the onions contain sulfides, and in the process of heating, the spicy taste can be weakened, so that the onions will produce some sweetness, so that when cutting the onions, they will not be so spicy that they will shed tears.
04Cook the corn quickly
If you are in a hurry to get to work in the morning, you can use the microwave to cook corn quickly, which can save a lot of time.
All we need to do is cut the roots of the corn, rinse it with cold water and put it in the microwave for 6 minutes.
Usually, if you boil corn, it usually takes 20 minutes, and you need to take care of it on the side.
This method takes less time, and you don't need to take care of it, and you can wash it in the process of heating the corn in the microwave, saving time and effort.
