Ok, I have the most amazing and easy microwave cleaning tip to share with you!

1st I wanted to tell you that you’ve still got a couple days to join the recipe round up.

OK!  Are you ready for this tip?  I learned this years ago, like not long after we were married and my dread of cleaning the microwave went away.

I am pretty happy to say that my microwave is always clean.  The other day the 13 year old was warming up some ribs and the paper towel he had covering it came off and of course it popped everywhere.  So I figured that would be a good time to share this trick with you (since he didn’t tell me and I didn’t see it until the next morning).

Here is the lovely inside of my microwave (yay bbq sauce)
Step 1 – fill a glass bowl with water.  I used about 4 cups of water.
Step 2 – set your microwave for 8-10 minutes
Step 3 – Once your microwave stops leave the door closed and let the water steam in the microwave for a good 5-10 minutes.
When you open the door it should be all nice and steamy
(you can see the steam dripping better on the door)
Ok, I don’t have pictures of Step 4 because I couldn’t take pictures and wipe the microwave down too.  I didn’t use any soap or a scrubber.  I only used a hot wet washcloth.  It took less than 2 minutes of work from me to get my microwave perfectly clean.
SEE!
 (the little black marks are sadly something from the metal rack that won’t come out)
The door is so clean you see the reflection back into the clean microwave.
So, that’s it.  About 25 minutes of time but like 23 of those minutes you can be doing anything else!  No yucky cleaning stuff inside your microwave and it is beautiful again!
