something blew up in the micro last week and I didnt get round to cleaning it till last night :-[ :-[
no lemons in so I used a bowl of brown vinegar on high let it steam for a few mins
then wiped out the mike with a cloth dipped in the vinegar. it came up spotless and smells of Nothing now.
great
;D
