7 non-standard ways of using a multicooker

• Humidifier

With the onset of the heating season, a problem such as too dry air will appear in residential premises. Yes, being in such a room is unpleasant. But also, such a microclimate in the house can lead to health problems. A slow cooker can be used to solve this problem. Pour water into it, add aromatic oils, balms or herbs, and put it in the bedroom near the bed. Before going to bed, set to minimum cooking mode and open the lid. A healthier microclimate in the apartment and easy breathing are provided for you.

IMPORTANT!Do not place the hot crock-pot on the floor and in a dangerous proximity to the bed, so as not to burn yourself. Also be extremely careful if the apartment has small children.

• Natural flavor

In order to fill the whole apartment with fragrant aromas, use the same minimum cooking mode. Boil distilled water with aromatic oils. If you do not have them - it does not matter. You can use everything that is at this moment at home. For example, fresh fruits or spices. And if you just need to neutralize the unpleasant aroma, put “boil” water with two or three tablespoons of ordinary soda.

• Decoctions of herbs

It's no secret how often girls use herbal-based products to take care of their appearance. Their cost is huge, but you can do it all yourself. You buy herbs in a pharmacy or collect in the country. And then - just lay the ingredients in the slow cooker, fill with water and put overnight in the boiling mode. Infusions and decoctions for hair, skin and nails can be poured into beautiful bottles and used as needed.

• Natural cosmetic

In addition to ordinary tinctures, you can practice preparing full-fledged makeup products. You can be one hundred percent sure of the naturalness of its composition and use it without fear. For example, you can prepare a natural cream with a sunscreen effect. To do this, buy: coconut oil, shea butter, beeswax, any vegetable oil, vitamin E capsules and zinc oxide. By 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 in the design of the room will be homemade scented candles. Just melt the soy wax in the bowl of the multicooker, or the cinder of unnecessary candles. Add aromatic oils, dyes and pour into molds. It can be ordinary glasses of various shapes, or pre-prepared matrices. For example, fruit without a core or shell of eggs. Do not forget to put a wick in them. Just imagine how the festive table will play with such an original illumination.

• Epilation

In order to keep themselves in good shape, girls often perform cosmetic procedures at home. And a multicooker will help to significantly speed up, for example, the depilation procedure. If you remove unwanted hairs with wax or shugaring paste, then you can bring the material to the desired temperature without special equipment in a multicooker. And with the function of maintaining heat, you will not need to run out of the bathroom several times to heat the frozen paste.

Add a couple of drops of dye and the developing harmless toy for the child is ready!
