Even though I don’t use the microwave very often, it still gets dirty and greasy.
However, cleaning it is really easy if you know how to:
Clean your microwave with lemon
This is a fantastic and easy way to clean. What you need is a lemon, a microwaveable cup and about 300 to 500 ml water. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze it, mix with water in the cup and place it in the microwave. Set it to maximum power for 5 to 10 minutes. As the water evaporates, it will steam the inside of your microwave and loosen the dirt plus the lemon will give it an extra nice smell.
You may want to take out the interior try before you start the steaming and be careful when removing the cup.
Voila, fresh and clean microwave.
One think I could never get my head around is plastic Christmas trees. What’s a proper cheery Christmas without a real tree?
Stale Bread: Day old bread doesn’t need to be thrown away: make Crostini!All you need to do is thinly slice the bread and toast it in a 325° F oven until it’s crisp throughout and barely golden at the edges, which should normally take about 5 minutes. You can now use it for all kinds of dishes, in soups, with salads or eat it with Prucetta. Another way to revive slightly stale bread is to lightly sprinkle it with water, wrap it in foil and bake it in the oven until warm. If however your bread has gone rock hard, you can chuck it into a food processor and make bread crumbs! A good way to avoid bread going stale is freezing it. Do this as it is still fresh.
