Microwave
In the typical Nigerian home, a microwave may be one of those kitchen appliances that is underestimated. Surprisingly, you will find it in a lot of kitchens, but try to throw in that cold plate of beans and you’ll find that the microwave is just seating pretty on the counter top. Bear in mind however that it is important to make sure your microwave is in perfect working condition as we approach the month of Ramadan. You may want to ask why? Consider the scenarios below. A- To meet up with the time for Iftar, its most likely that cooking will commence around 5-6 which will allow the food to seat in the cooler for another hour or maybe more. Upon serving at Iftar, the food may not be as hot as it was when prepared. Throw it in the microwave for a couple of minutes and that problem is solved. B- Upon Iftaar, it is common that a lot of people like to have a couple of spoons from their meal to give them enough strength to observe Tarawih. This definitely means the food will not be as hot when they return; and this may in turn result to loss in appetite. The microwave also comes handy in a scenario like this.
