Also, a good tip for cleaning microwave: microwave a cup of water for about a minute. The condesation will soften the splashed food particles and wipes clean super easy.

super green is some amazing stuff ,,(can be bought at the dollar store )
just don't delute it, wear gloves ,do not breath fumes
and don't leave it on until it eats paint ,
it can make quick work out of tough jobs
it was created to take paint off engines and degrees them for rebuild
it even kills little bugs

Everytime I clean up the kitchen I wipe down the inside of the microwave.

@alohamom: Also, always keep a fire extinguisher in the kitchen!

@fun4us2b: I tried to reheat tortilla chips with my leftovers....huge mistake! Wasn't quite fire extinguisher fire, but almost!

My sis told me that her toaster oven caught on fire becasue it had too much junk in the bottom of it.
StellaBlue · F
I don't have either...heheee...old fashion cooking on the stove and oven... :)

@CheshyCat: Wow! I'd die without my microwave! I work and have to cook for my mom everyday. So leftovers are a lifesaver!

When it gets dirty.

@alohamom: do you heat a cup of water in it before you clean? That seems to kind of loosen stuff so it's easier to clean.
alohamom · F
@katielass: Thanks for the tip. The inside was clean, as I wipe it down regularly. Just disinfected it all and washed the glass and the outside. The toaster oven took more time. Thanks!
katielass · F
@alohamom: YW. I can imagine cleaning a toaster oven. yuk.

ya gotta clean them?

@mrmoose: Lol...I know, you'd think all that heat and rays would make it self-cleaning huh?!

@alohamom: yes, indeed
KeasbeyNights · 31-35, M
I don't have either of those.
alohamom · F
@KeasbeyNights: Less to clean.
Mondayschild · F
Where I need to the microwave don't have the other
iamnikki · 31-35, F
About weekly.
alohamom · F
@iamnikki: Yeah, I guess I have to do a thorough clean more often. Thanks.

Microwaves are easy to clean. Put a bowl of water and dish soap in it and let it run on high for 4 minutes. Then just wipe the grime away. Easy peezy
alohamom · F
@3Dogmatic: Yes. I wipe the inside of my microwave regularly. I just gave it a thorough cleaning...under the wheel, disinfected it, cleaned the outside top, and sides. I didn't realize how it looks clean but it's greasy with kitchen buildup. Definitely not as difficult as my toaster oven was! I'm just complaining because I hate cleaning. Thanks for the tip!
3Dogmatic · 46-50, M
You are welcome! The soapy steam cuts the grease and sanitizes at the same time.

I should do the microwave more often. The toaster oven every week, but it has a steam function, so I run that and just wipe it clean after
