Microwave hints (from KWIX Cookbook 3rd edition)
-Refresh stale potato chips, crackers or other snacks by putting a plateful in the microwave fro 30-45 seconds. Let stand for 1 minute to crisp. Cereals can also be crisped.
-Nuts will be easier to shell if you place 2 cups of nuts in a 1-quart casserole with 1 cup of water. Cook for 4-to-5 minutes and the nutmeats will slip out whole after cracking the shell
-Stamp collectors can place a few drops of water on a stamp to remove it from an envelope. Heat in the microwave for 20 seconds and the stamp will come off.
