Microwave Cleaning Hack: Steam It Clean in 5 Minutes
Ingredients
- A microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl
- About 1 cup of water
- One lemon, or 1 tablespoon of plain white vinegar
- A wooden spoon or chopstick
- A soft cloth or sponge and a dry towel
- Oven mitts
Instructions
- Fill the bowl. Pour about 1 cup of water into the bowl.
- Add lemon or vinegar. Squeeze in half a lemon and drop the rind in too. Or add a tablespoon of white vinegar.
- Add a wooden stick. Stand a wooden spoon or chopstick in the bowl. It gives bubbles somewhere to form so the water doesn't boil over suddenly.
- Heat it. Microwave on high for 3 to 5 minutes, until the water boils and the window fogs up.
- Wait. Leave the door closed for another 5 minutes. This is where the magic happens.
- Wipe. Take the bowl out with oven mitts, lift out the turntable, and wipe the inside from the ceiling down.
