How to clean the inside of a microwave oven

Microwave ovens are very convenient to use and can heat food quickly. However, after a microwave oven has been used for a long time, it is easy for it to have odors and stains inside. Therefore, it is quite necessary to clean the inside of the microwave oven from time to time. However, many people do not know much about how to clean the inside of a microwave oven. So, what are the methods for cleaning the inside of a microwave oven? Let’s take a look below.

1. When cleaning, be sure to unplug the power supply to ensure that the cleaning is done without power.

2. After the microwave oven has just finished working, there will be a lot of fog and water droplets. This is a normal phenomenon and can be wiped with a rag.

3. Check the microwave oven door seal regularly to see if it is clean and free of other debris, otherwise it will be difficult to clean later.

4. If there are too many stains in the microwave, you can use a special microwave container to fill with water. After heating for a few minutes, let the evaporated water wipe the stains, then use wet paper to wipe off the dirt inside the oven, and then use detergent to completely clean the grease.

5. When cleaning the bottom of the microwave oven, remove the turntable and turntable bracket. If the glass turntable and shaft ring are hot, wait until they cool down before handling them. Never operate the microwave when the turntable is removed for cleaning.

6. Put some lemon juice in the water and cook it on the turntable for a few minutes to remove the odor in the microwave.

1. Place the microwave oven in a suitable location.

We must place the microwave oven in a stable and well-ventilated place. The back of the microwave oven should be more than 10 cm away from the wall, maintaining a certain gap, and there should also be a distance of more than 5 cm from the ceiling.

2. Place an appropriate amount of food in the microwave.

When using a microwave oven, do not put too much food in it. The maximum weight should not exceed 5 kg, and the volume should not exceed one-third of the microwave oven's capacity.

3. Large foods should be evenly broken down before heating.

For some larger foods, such as pork, chicken, etc., it is best to cut the meat first and then use the microwave oven when the size is appropriate. Because microwave power is limited, if the food is too large, it is easy to cause uneven cooking.

4. Grasp the heating time.

When we use a microwave oven to heat food, we must choose the cooking or heating time carefully. It is better to set a shorter time and then heat it again, rather than set the time too long, which may cause the food to burn.

5. Clean up promptly after use.

After using the microwave oven, we must wipe the inside and outside of the microwave oven and the glass plate in time, because it will be difficult to wipe clean over time and it will easily lead to the growth of bacteria.
