The best way I have found to get tough ickiness out of my microwave is to put a bowl of water in there, incovered, nuke it for about 1-2 minutes to develop a good steam all over the inside, remove the bowl and wipe off the ickiness. Sometimes this needs to be done a couple times, especially after wonderful hubby cooks in there.

∙ 11y agomix 1part baking soda, and 1 part vinegar , 2 parts water , soak dishrag, ring dishrag out, Microwave dishrag in microwave, for a few minutes, the baking soda will deodorize the odor- the vinegar will help take off the stain- the water will vaporize and carry both of the cleaners to the walls/top/bottom of the microwave.
Good Luck!!!!

∙ 9y agoPut a microwave-proof bowl and water into the microwave, and run for 4 or 5 minutes. The interior should now be very warm and wet. Switch off the microwave, and use a cloth and a bit of mild liquid cleaner, to clean the inside.

∙ 14y agoA great easy and natural way to clean a microwave is use vinegar to soak stains using a sponge. Let the vinegar soak and the scrub the microwave and wipe clean. Vinegar evaporates on its own so there is won't be any residue.

How do you microwave popcorn?
I understand that there are special sealed containers of popcorn suitable to cook in a microwave. Apparently, there are instructions on the label. The reason why special sealed containers are used is to prevent the popcorn shooting all over the inside of the microwave. One website stated that it was possible to microwave popcorn placed inside a brown paper bag!
How do you pop popcorn on the cob?
Place popcorn on the cob in a brown paper bag and close bag tightly. Place in microwave and cook on high for about two minutes.
Does microwave popcorn contain trans fats?
The popcorn itself is not fattening, but the chemicals and added butter flavoring can be fattening. People who have worked at microwave popcorn factories have come down with lung cancers due to constant inhalations of the fumes from the chemicals. It's best to buy just the kernels, put in brown lunch bag, and cook alone. Raw popcorn is the best!
Do I Need a Popcorn Maker?
As long as you use regular popcorn kernels with nothing added to them, it really makes no difference in the taste of the popcorn if you pop it in the microwave or in a popcorn maker. However, if you are using the packets of microwave popcorn that have added flavorings and fat, I would say that plain popcorn tastes better. If you want to make popcorn conveniently but without additives, I would recommend putting about a quarter of a cup of popcorn kernels in a regular brown paper bag along with about a teaspoon of vegetable oil and using that to pop the popcorn in the microwave instead of the microwave popcorn bags from the grocery store. You simply add the kernels and oil in the bag, seal it up tightly, then microwave for two to three minutes, until you hear the kernels stop popping. This is significantly healthier, cheaper, and better-tasting than store-bought popcorn.

How do you pop popcorn in a microwave besides the brown paper bag method?
You can use one of those special plastic containers that are marketed for making popcorn in a microwave. You can also use a paper bag. Make sure the bag is big enough to contain the popped corn. Put about half a cup of popping corn in the bag, fold the top closed and use some tape to keep it closed. You can also use a plastic clip but make sure there is no metal in the clip. Place bag in microwave. Use the Highest setting for about 3 minutes. When the popping sound slows down to about every 3-5 seconds, it should be done. Turn off the microwave. Be careful removing and opening the bag as it can be very hot.

Remove house of burnt popcorn smell?
About all a microwave user can do is give the cavity (the place where you put the stuff you want to heat) a really good cleaning and clean the vents in the cabinet. Taking it apart to clean it is pretty much out of the question. The smell of popcorn will subside over time and with use, but short of taking it in and having it taken apart and cleaned, there isn't much you can do. (It's almost certainly too dangerous to take it apart.) Fortunately, the unit will work okay, and if food put in is covered (as it should be), it shouldn't pick up the taste. Answer: Try this: I have had this problem numerous times, mostly from burned popcorn, but today, from a burned brownie (the kind that come with microwaveable meals, I cut out the section with the brownie one day when I didn't want the brownie, and saved it for later, but when I tried to cook just the brownie portion today, I didn't adjust the cook time, and voila, instant house filled with thick smoke that smelled like pure burnt sugar). I tried everything, from vinegar with baking soda to Windex to orange scented cleanser to Pine-Sol, and nothing worked to kill the lingering smell inside the microwave. I refused to admit defeat, because it's a brand new microwave! I'll save my rant about the popcorn button on it for some other forum, let's just say, the only way I can cook popcorn without burning it is to underpop the stuff. Microwave is too powerful for it's own good, and even reducing the power level doesn't help, because then the popcorn stops and starts popping a lot, which results in disaster. Finally, I thought of something: Coffee absorbs odors! I put two tablespoons of freshly ground coffee into a ceramic coffee cup, and added enough water to bring it to about half full. When you do this, be sure to sit the coffee mug down into a microwave-safe ceramic or glass bowl or something, because it boils over all over the place). Put that in the microwave and nuke it for about two minutes (long enough for it to boil all over the place, or preferably into the bowl). It will splash out around the microwave some, but that's a good thing in my opinion! Open the door, carefully remove the bowl and mug (carefully! It was boiling a second ago, remember?!) and sit it gently down into the sink to cool. Immediately wipe out the microwave with a damp cloth or paper towels, and if you have a pool of liquid in the bottom of the microwave, use a handful of paper towels to soak it up so you don't get any on yourself and burn yourself. After you've wiped it all clean, poke your head in and smell the inside of the microwave. Smell anything other than a little coffee smell? Repeat if you need to, I had to do it twice, but the smell seems to be gone now! I also wiped the inside down with some windex afterward to be sure I got all the coffee to prevent coffee stains. Nail Polish Remover (Acetone) worked for me! I just moved into a brand new home with build in microwave. My daughter burned a cup of noodle in the microwave. All the yellow spots are gone and most of the smell too. Thank you Did you leave that microwave popcorn in there too long? Do you have a brown, yucky mess? I did too! I tried one tip that barely worked, then I remembered using something to clean off the soot on the inside of my wood stove window. SIMPLE GREEN. Yes, it's simple and it's in a green can. I like the fact that it's also non-acidic, non-toxic, and bio-degradable. And boy does it work! I used it to get off the brown stains in my microwave from really OLD popcorn. I sprayed it on, waited 2 minutes (if that), and wiped with a paper towel and that was it. No more brown stains! Hallelujah for Simple Green. Acetone: I came here this afternoon to ask the same question about a yellow/brown stain from popcorn in my microwave. I got a new microwave two years ago today. About a week later I tried out the "popcorn" button that was supposed to be pre-programmed for a store-bought bag of microwave popcorn. Well, instead of yummy popcorn, I got a burning mess that left a brown/yellow stain on the whole left inside wall of the oven. I was really upset! I tried everything, oxiclean, bleach, baking soda, you name it. The smell went away within a few days of cooking, but the stain lasted. I had a service guy here from the manufacturer for another problem with the microwave and he said "Oh, you'll never get rid of that popcorn stain". As I said, I came here today to ask about getting rid of the stain. I tried acetone and it worked! I used cotton balls, a sponge and then a "scotch-brite" pad (the green nylon things that don't scratch) and it's gone! My microwave looks as good as new! Thank you so much for the suggestions here and to whomever keeps this board/site running. What a great resource! By the way, when the stain was all gone, I soaked a washcloth with vinegar and wiped all the inside surfaces with it. Then I used some soap and water on the inside surfaces. I let that dry, then did the little trick with the vanilla and the inside smells fresh, no harsh odors, and the food cooked in the microwave came out smelling/tasting "normal".
