The Kamikaze Cook- Tip (Bread)

If you have good quality bread that has gone stale, try this... Slice the bread thickly and put in microwave safe container that has a lid. Take a paper towel, crinkle into ball shape, lightly dampen it with water and place inside container, away from bread. Cover lightly, keeping some air flow going inside. Microwave on 50% power for 30 seconds at a time until warm and soft again. Note- as soon as it hits air it will begin the hardening process again so only do a few pieces at a time and keep the pieces you'll be eating shortly in the container where they'll stay warm. If you leave them too long they may become mushy.
