Use a microwave (to squeeze citrus fruits better)

To make sure you get as much juice as possible out of fresh citrus fruits, just place the lime, lemon, or orange in the microwave for about 10 seconds before slicing or juicing. This will soften the pith and make it much easier to extract all the juice from it. Just be careful not to leave it for longer and burn the fruit!

Use a coffee grinder (to make different toppings)

Your coffee grinder is actually the perfect kitchen tool you can use for making powdered toppings. For example, put a handful of nuts, crackers, or cookies in your coffee grinder and pulse a few times to achieve the perfect crumbly consistency. You can use these toppings in your smoothies, oatmeal, or baked goods!

Use a French press (to rinse grains)

You probably didn’t know that you can easily rinse all types of grains using a French press coffee maker. Simply place some quinoa, rice, or other grain of choice inside a French press and pour enough warm water to cover it. Then push the plunger down all the way and pour out the water. Do that several times, and voilà!

Use a microwave (to sanitize your kitchen sponges)

Kitchen sponges are useful tools, but they are also a magnet for bacteria and moisture. So, disinfect your kitchen sponges regularly by putting them in the microwave! Just wet the sponge (or place it in a dish with some water) and heat it in the microwave for around 1 minute. However, always be careful and try not to burn anything!

Use a hair dryer (to remove labels and stickers)

The easiest way to remove stubborn labels from glass jars and cans is to heat them up with a hairdryer first. It may sound strange, but the heat from the hairdryer makes the adhesive warm and loose, so the sticker is more likely to peel off easily without leaving any residue. That way, you can reuse these glass jars for whatever you want!
