Microwaves are a great way to reheat food, but the spatter can build up into nasty stains over time. Reader The Saint shares a simple tactic for making the task of cleaning easier.
Here’s his approach:
If like me your microwave insides are covered in exploded baked beans and various other stuff because you’re too lazy or hungry to cover it before heating, this works great. Place a bowl(wider is better) of water in the microwave, bring it to the boil then let it sit in the microwave for 10 minutes. All that rock-solid shrapnel on the internal walls is nice and moist and wipes of with little effort, no scrubbing or scouring needed.
The waiting period is important here — not only will it let the steam kick in, it makes sure you don’t burn your hands when you remove that hot water.
