Melt, dry, and defrost

With the hairdryer, we can melt, dry, and defrost. This device will be useful to melt chocolate. We can also temper it if we use the cold air option. Another food we can mel is butter, whether to grease a mold or use it in a recipe.

As the name suggests, this appliance will also serve to dry food and kitchen utensils, beyond our hair. For example, in the kitchen, it can help us dry some utensils that, because of their shape, are difficult to dry, such as strainers or graters.

If you want to prepare some frozen food and see that everything is stuck, use the hairdryer to defrost it a bit and separate it. With a little heat, you will manage to detach the food instead of having to hit it against the countertop or the floor, or worse, applying force.
