Cook unexpected foods. You know your
microwave can cook frozen burritos, but you can also make more
impressive dishes with your counter top tech. Try making no-fry potato
chips, in-the-husk corn-on-the-cob, or even scrambled eggs if you're in a
pinch. You can also use a microwave to cut down on dough-proofing time
if you're making homemade bread.
