A microwave heats food fast and hot. We have accumulated several over the years and have found a good home for a couple of them. However the inside needs to be cleaned. Since the heating process was high temperature and during some of cooking you hear "popping sounds" as food particles think about flying around inside, what are your tips to clean a microwave?
We have over cleaner. Anything else to consider?
I just put a measuring cup in there with about a cup of water - let it boil in the microwave oven for 5 mins, and then wipe the insides clean with a a soft cloth and mild dish soap.
Boil a big microwave-safe mixing bowl of water in the microwave. The steam will soften any residue inside, and you should be able to then sponge down the inside with minimal elbow grease. Use a kitchen cleaning spray for anything stubborn or staining. Rinse with plain water.
I wouldn't use oven cleaner unless indicated, as the chemicals are likely designed to clean metal interiors and not plastic.
Glass pyrex bowl filled with water, vinegar and lemon juice. Heat to a rolling boil to steam the inside, then wipe clean.
