Done your homework and now ready to bring home a versatile model of the latest new-generation microwave oven to make meal preparation a breeze? You can ensure many years of gratifying use with your trusty kitchen helper, with proper care and some simple cleaning tips.
Certain foods that are allowed to heat inside a microwave, particularly meaty viands with sauce, tend to spatter inside the kitchen gadget when reheated uncovered. There's a reason for those ubiquitous microwave-safe containers sold everywhere. Most microwave ovens also have a removable glass on which to place these containers. If you want a loose cover for your dishes, use wax paper or perhaps paper towels instead.
If spills do occur, wash the removable plate with mild detergent and rinse well. Wipe with a tidy cloth or paper towel until it's dry, before returning to the microwave. Spatters around the sides and near the door opening may be wiped clean & dry, too. Deal with stubborn dirt and odors by using a couple of pinches of baking soda in a cupful of warm water for cleaning. An alternative is a mixture of lemon juice in boiled water. When the mixture has cooled, you can use this to wipe the inside of the microwave oven.
Coarse cleaning materials that tend to scratch surfaces are a no-no. Read the instructions on the manual for proper cleaning & care of your newly bought appliances. You may turn to microwave reviews on the internet, and read forums where practical tips are shared.
