So lets get started with our 8 new genius and practical Microwave Hacks that will make your life easier..

Hack One:

Extracting maximum juice from a lemon

If you are based outside of India you know that the lemon that we get here comes with a hard skin and it is at times difficult to extract the juice.

Just microwave it for 30 sec and you will see how easy it is.

Hack Two:

Easily cut a pumpkin and remove its skin too by microwaving it for a minute.

If you wish to cut a whole pumpkin then it may require additional time.

Hack Three

Sweet potato chips

Making chips in microwave is super easy. Just cut a thin slice of whatever veggies you want like sweet potato, kale, broccoli or potatoes.

Add a tbsp of oil and salt to taste mix it up and line it on a microwave safe plate in a way that it is not overlapping.

Microwave for a minute. Remove the plate out and turn the slices and repeat the process until it is cooked and crisp.

It took me a total of 3-4 minutes to make the sweet potato chips. A crispy and chewy chips all ready.
