Sometimes, it's easier to just shut the microwave door on a grime-covered microwave and leave those sauce splatters and crusty bits until the next time you decide to nuke some leftovers. But it doesn't have to be this way.
There's a super simple, Pinterest-approved cleaning solution that'll leave your microwave sparkling clean with very little elbow grease (that is, until the next time you heat up a bowl of linguine lamb bolognese).
Now, you're ready to start cooking in your microwave (seriously, you can make breakfast-sandwich-worthy eggs and even bread crumbs with this oft-maligned device).
Yes. But while some say to use lemon slices to get the best deep-clean, I say save your lemons for a more delicious task, like tackling our lemon meringue trifle, assembling a lemon poppy seed layer cake, or baking up a simple-yet-satisfying glazed lemon loaf. Instead of wasting citrus fruit, just add a couple tablespoons of white vinegar to water (eyeballing it is fine, microwaving cleaning is not an exact science) and hit the power button.
