7.Sanitize Sponges
All it takes is 1 minute on high in the microwave to kill bacteria on your kitchen sponges. Wet them first so they don’t catch fire, and also check to it doesn’t have a metallic scrub pad. If yours does, put it in the dishwasher instead.
8.Microwave Tips
Check for the “microwave safe” label on containers before heating food in them. Avoid foam containers, and never heat metal. Chemicals in plastic wraps may seep into your food if you cook in them. For even cooking, pick a round container over square, and cut food into equal-sized pieces when possible.
