Need to dry some herbs but the sun isn’t cooperating with you? A microwave can be your savior. However, it only works well with heartier herbs such as thyme and rosemary as opposed to the more delicate mint and basil, which can’t stand the microwave heat. The process is simple; place the herbs between paper towel sheets and set on high for around 2 ½ minutes.
3. Bake a potato
Making a baked potato with a microwave is every bit as good as using an oven, but is a whole lot easier. Just place the potato in a microwaveable bowl with a bit of water, microwave for 5 minutes on one side, turn it over, microwave for an additional 5 minutes, and it’s ready for some butter and sour cream!
