time to clean the microwave

To clean your microwave, heat a bowl of water on high power for 5 to 10 minutes. Keep the door closed for several more minutes to allow the steam to do its magic. Using pot holders, carefully remove the bowl of water. Then wipe the walls of the oven -- almost effortlessly. To deodorize add 1/4 cup of vinegar.
