Condensation a good or bad thing whilst Cooking in Microwave

gesdt50

Hello just wondering after noticing that there is condensation on the door inside after cooking in the microwave, if one is cooking again later would this condensation be an advantage as steam is hotter than water and the food items inside  - Would it be better to pat dry the door or leave the condensation and even mist in from a water bottle before cooking or make sure the microwave is completely dry before putting in the food to cook ?

Thanks for any advice

I always wipe afterwards as microwaves can be prone to rust and it will help it last longer.

I just leave the door open unless the door is dripping- in which case give it a quick wipe

Unless you are putting the second item in immediately the first one comes out, the condensed steam will have gone cold - happens very quickly. I certainly wouldn’t spray or mist the inside before cooking.
 

I always wipe mine out after use.
