    Wait wait. Do people not just cook a potato and wipe it down after as cleaning?

    My whole life when the microwave needs a wash, you put in a big potato in a bowl of water, like an Idaho, or up to three Yukon gold or baby reds (whatever fits your bowl)… you prick them with a fork, put them in a large soup bowl with like a half inch water, and microwave for 11 min on high.

    Let sit for 3 min after it’s done and eat as a baked potato or mashed potato, whatever you like, it’s a potato.

    But then importantly you clean the microwave because the steam from 11 minutes of potato loosens all the shit and you can just wipe it out.

    Cleaning is as easy as making dinner sometimes.

      Same thing but with half a lemon, allegedly the acidity helps to loosen stuck on garbage. Also maybe not 11min.

      Upside, smells like lemon

      Downside, no potato

        Seems like work with no up-side, since no potato.

        You could add a lemon to your potato for the same effect I guess. (But for real just the water vapor does the job 100% a bowl of water would do the job but making a potato wastes less energy because you are making food)

    Is that cardboard thing in the right supposed to be in there or can you take it out? I still have it in mine.

    Water and vinegar, microwave for a few minutes and wipe clean. Stupid easy.

    There’s a thing called hot momma that can be used for measuring, but idea is the same.

    I’ve always handwashed the glass turntable. I’d be worried about water temperature changes making it crack, as some of them aren’t that thick.

      Ive just seen a styro pyro video where he makes a 20000 watt monster microwave, that damn plate survived him melting steel and titanium on top of it with that monster. I think these plates can survive a little bit of water.

      Some microwaves come with a metal rack so you can cook multiple things at once, like an oven has. However you better use the one designed for that microwave, as trying to substitute something different could introduce problems.

        I just bought a new microwave after 15 years. The new one can convection roast, microwave, or a combo of both. They try to say it’s 18 in one but it’s just a microwave or convection cooking.

        It’s amazing for chicken since it spins while cooking so everything is cooked evenly all around.

          I had a combi microwave back 20 or so years ago. It was my only oven at the time so it was ace. I found the grill+microwave (or maybe it was convection +grill+microwave) combination was wonderful for frozen chips.
