- Tidy-Up Challenge: Pick one room and see how much you can clean before the 356 seconds are over. It is a game the whole family can play.
- Steaming Vegetables: Broccoli, carrots or green beans are tender-crisp after a few minutes of steaming, and the 356-second countdown keeps them from turning mushy.
