If you fail to clean your microwave for a few weeks then you may notice the remnants of last weeks beans have welded themselves to the roof of your microwave. This may look like it’s going to take a lot of elbow grease and hard work to get it clean but you would be wrong. Simply:
Get a microwavable bowl and place a few cups of water in it.
- Place the bowl in the microwave and heat on high for about 4-5 minutes.
- When the microwave goes ding, let the water cool down for a few minutes then pour it away down the sink.
- Any crusty remnants in your microwave can now be easily wiped up with a cloth.
If your more hygienic like me then you’ll probably want to use some absorbent kitchen towel so that you can through it away after. There is nothing more disgusting than a dirty kitchen cloth covered in gunk waiting to be used again on clean kitchen worktops!
