The microwave helps me a lot in the kitchen. Here are 15 ideas for what I do in the microwave. Write in the comments, and you do this? Did you find something new for yourself here? And what else do you use the microwave for (if you do, of course)?
Here, in the article, I will describe everything briefly. And in the video I show and tell in more detail. Look - you will like it))
