9 Things You Didn’t Know Your Microwave Oven Could Do

9. Toasted Nuts

Microwave ovens are not usually thought of for their ability to toast things but with nuts it can actually work pretty well. Place the nuts in a bowl that’s microwave-safe and add a drop or two of cooking oil. Put it in the microwave for about a minute and then stir them up a bit. Repeat the process until they are to your liking, which will normally take around five minutes. You can also do this with pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds if you like to toast them yourself.
