Feeding the whole family delicious dishes will not take much time for any, even the busiest housewife. You just put all the ingredients in the bowl, choose the cooking mode and go take some time for yourself.

But we will tell you how, in addition to cooking, you can use a multicooker in an unusual way.

7 non-standard ways to use a multicooker

• Humidifier

With the onset of the heating season, a problem such as too dry air will appear in residential premises. Yes, it is unpleasant to be in such a room. But in addition, such a microclimate in the house can lead to health problems. A slow cooker can be used to solve this problem. Fill it with water, add aromatic oils, balms or herbs, and place it in the bedroom not far from the bed. Before going to bed, set the cooking mode to minimum and open the lid slightly.A healthier microclimate in the apartment and easier breathing are guaranteed.

IMPORTANT! Do not place a hot multicooker on the floor or dangerously close to the bed to avoid getting burned. Also be extremely careful if there are small children in the apartment.

• Natural flavor

In order to fill the entire apartment with fragrant aromas, use the same minimal cooking mode. Boil distilled water with aromatic oils. If you don’t have them, it doesn’t matter. You can use whatever you have at home at the moment. For example, fresh fruits or spices. And if you just need to neutralize the unpleasant aroma, put water with two to three tablespoons of regular soda to “cook”.

• Herbal decoctions

It's no secret how often girls use herbal products to care for their appearance. Their cost is enormous, but you can do it all yourself. Buy herbs at a pharmacy or collect them outside the city. And then you just put the ingredients in the slow cooker, fill it with water and set it to boil overnight. Infusions and decoctions for hair, skin and nails can be poured into beautiful bottles and used as needed.

• Natural cosmetic

In addition to the usual tinctures, you can practice preparing full-fledged skincare cosmetics. You can be one hundred percent sure that its composition is natural and use it without fear. For example, you can prepare a natural cream with sunscreen effect. To do this, buy: coconut oil, shea butter, beeswax, any vegetable oil, vitamin E capsules and zinc oxide. After experimenting, you can “conjure” with moisturizing, nourishing and protective lotions and creams.

• Apartment decor

  

If you like to decorate your home with exclusive things, then this method is for you. The finishing touches to the room design will be homemade scented candles. Just melt soy wax or the stubs of unnecessary candles in a multicooker bowl. Add aromatic oils, dyes and pour into molds. These can be ordinary glasses of various shapes, or pre-prepared matrices. For example, cored fruit or egg shells. Don't forget to place a wick in them. Just imagine how the festive table will sparkle with such original lighting.

• Epilation

In order to keep themselves in good shape, girls often carry out cosmetic procedures at home. A multicooker will help to significantly speed up, for example, the depilation procedure. If you remove unnecessary hairs using wax or sugaring paste, then you can bring the material to the desired temperature without special equipment in a slow cooker. And with the keep warm function, you won’t need to run out of the bathroom several times to heat up the frozen paste.

• Natural plasticine

Children love to explore the world and play with new toys. But it’s scary to buy a product in a store when you’re not sure that its composition is harmless. We propose to cook real plasticine together with the younger generation. Cook a mixture of corn starch and flour with the addition of table salt, cream of tartar, water and vegetable oil for 30-40 minutes. Add a couple of drops of dye and the educational, harmless toy for your child is ready!
