Clean that Microwave!
Most of us dread cleaning the microwave. It would seem to be such an easy task, but reaching your arm into a small space and wiping off old 
food is not going to very fun. That is why we need to keep our microwaves clean to start with. When you microwave food always place a napkin or kitchen towel over the top of your food, this way it will not spatter all over the microwave. Also, try not to put too much food in the microwave at once, this can lead to spillage and to uneven temperatures. If you do make a spill or spatter in the microwave, wipe it down right away, this makes cleanup much easier.
If you have neglected to do any of the above and your microwave is caked with food particles, fill a microwave safe bowl with water, add one teaspoon of white vinegar and microwave on high for about 5 minutes. This will give your microwave a steam bath and the food will wipe off very easily. No need to use chemical cleaners. (Note: You can add 1 teaspoon of dish soap, baking soda or a slice of lemon to the water instead of white vinegar.)
A note on microwave safe bowls: If you are unsure if your mug or dish is microwave safe, here is a test you can do to find out.
1. Fill the mug or dish with cold water.
2. Microwave on high for 40 seconds.
3. Test the water, if it is still cold, the mug or dish is NOT microwave safe. If the water is warm the dish IS microwave safe.
