In just five minutes, you'll have some really nice toasted nuts that you can snack on when the hunger pangs strike.

Don't worry if you forgot to completely close your bag of bread. You can now wrap the loaf in a moist paper towel and warm it in the microwave for 20 seconds or so. The moisture in the towel will soak the break to make it taste fresh all over again and won't let it get all soggy.

Brown sugar at some point will tend to turn as hard as a rock. In such cases, moisten a paper towel, place it in the sugar bag and zap it in the microwave for 25 seconds. The moisture that the paper towel has will transfer to the sugar in turn making it easier to scoop.

If you're someone who loves bacon then you'll definitely love this hack. Take a microwavable bowl and place it upside down. Put your bacon strips on top of the bowl and then spritz on some oil or grease on the strips. Microwave your bacon and it'll be crispy and ready to eat in no time!

Peeling garlic is now easy when you can microwave the garlic bulbs for around 15 seconds. This will separate the skin from the clove all too well and peeling them won't be much of a task then.
