Nuke those germs!

Vegetarian Times,  March, 2005  

We already love our microwave ovens for getting dinner on the table in a jif, but did you know that these modern conveniences can be used to zap germs too? Yep, you can use your microwave to nuke pesky microbes that lurk in even the cleanest kitchens. Set your appliance to HIGH to disinfect the following:

* Wood cutting boards (medium-sized): 10 minutes (800-watt oven)

* Cellulose sponges: 30 seconds

* Wet sponges: 1 minute

* Dry cotton dishrags: 30 seconds

* Wet cotton dishrags: 3 minutes
