10 Recipes You Can Make In The Microwave
I can only imagine what it must have been like when the microwave was invented. Suddenly, instead of stovetop and oven cooking and reheating, there was this magical box that did it all. Yet here we are, and most of us haven’t even begun to grasp all the microwave can do. Thankfully we now have the internet and social media where people share and exchange hacks and recipes, just like I’m about to do now. Because if you have a microwave, you definitely need to be trying out new ways to cook and create with it. It’s really for more than thawing and reheating your leftovers, and here’s the recipes to prove it!

MAGIC! While raw cookie dough is rather amazing, it’s also kinda dangerous to indulge in. So why not just whip these cookies up in the microwave and call it a night?

This is actually legit. I stopped boiling water for corn a couple years ago after I discovered that steaming your corn in the husk, in the microwave, made the perfect cob. Every time. You’ve gotta try this!
