I don’t know about you, but I really dislike cleaning out the microwave. Especially after someone has warmed up some chili or spaghetti. It’s like Bob the Tomato exploded all over the inside.

So here’s what I do. Set a bowl of water (for a little something special add a bit of lemon juice) in the microwave. Turn it on for 3 minutes. After it stops let it sit for a minute or two. Then take out the bowl and wipe down the inside and tray of the microwave with a damp washrag. (I dip it in the water a bit — be careful, though, it’s hot!) You will be amazed at how quick and easy it is to clean even the grungiest of microwaves!
