How do I get the inside of my microwave clean

And I'm washing mine most days. :rotfl::rotfl:

I blame pasta and sauce and offspring. It has become slightly less of a problem since I pointed out that food fragments can drop from the 'ceiling' into other foods, ie, tomatoey pasta into rice pudding.

I use a pyrex jug half filled with water....on max for about 6 or 7 minutes and any food splashes just wipe off. I wash the glass plate and the turntable.

I just wipe it out with the dishcloth when I'm washing up.

With this being a money saving site I really can't see why you have to buy anything more.

Brillo pads for mine.

Steam cleaner... Oven too!

I just dissolve a teaspoon of bicarb in some warm water (about a mugful) and wipe the inside with it. then wipe with clean water.

I wash the turntable fairly regularly when I do the washing up, then wipe the inside and outside of the microwave with the dishcloth. May need a bit more elbow grease if something as "exploded" during cooking.

Been doing this with microwaves since my first one in 1976.

I have, rather shamefully, had many microwaves in the past that I took less than great care of. Lets just say it wasn't pleasant inside.

Nowadays, I put a lid on everything and not overcook. Stops most mess. But when it needs a clean, just warm soap and water, after it's cooked a meal - so it's still moist inside and loosens existing mess up.

I have a Panny combi micro/grill and the stainless steel interior does get stains like an oven. Does anyone have a top tip for this please?

You have to be careful about using things like oven cleaners, but I recently bought some Bar Keeper's Friend which is OK to use on stainless steel. I alternated between that and a mix of washing up liquid & bicarb, my combi had gotten a little grim through neglect and it's come up like new.

I have a Panasonic m/w and find the easiest way to clean it is to remove the turntable and turn upside down and then I can easily clean the tops and the sides. Works for me.
