One of the frustrating things about squeezing a lemon is the feeling that you aren’t getting all of the juice out. With a microwave, this will never be a problem again. Stick a whole lemon into the microwave for 15 seconds, give it a quick roll, and you’re ready to squeeze!
9. Cook rice
When you want to cook rice without any of the hassle that comes with grabbing a bunch of pots and waiting for the water to boil, the microwave is the perfect solution. Best of all, if you use a glass bowl, the leftovers can go straight into the fridge without having to be transferred into another container. Simply combine rice with water based on the packing instructions, cover with microwave-safe Saran wrap, and set on high for around 15 to 20 minutes. Just make sure to check on it every 5 minutes.
