Few appliances get messier faster than your microwave. Spattered soup, spilled sauce, and slopped spaghetti can all be a real challenge to remove ...

<p>&nbsp;<img alt="A woman places a bowl of water with a halved lemon floating in it inside a white microwave." src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/blog/blog-appliance-microwave-cleaning.jpg?w=700" /></p>
<p></p>
<p>Few appliances get messier faster than your microwave. Spattered soup, spilled sauce, and slopped spaghetti can all be a real challenge to remove from the inner walls of the microwave once they're caked on there. But the good news is you don't have to spend hours scrubbing away to get all those unsavory messes cleaned right up! These three cleaning hacks will get your microwave looking good as new in no time.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>1.&nbsp; &nbsp;Lemon</strong></h2>
<p>This method is probably the simplest, and it has the added bonus of making your whole kitchen smell great! Take an average-size lemon and slice it in half, placing both halves flat side down into a small bowl of water. Stick the bowl with the lemons into the microwave and heat on high for one minute, or until you see the microwave door start to steam up. Let the steam sit for a minute before opening the microwave door.</p>
<p>After that, open it up and wipe down the inside with a paper towel. The steam from the water should make all those crusted-on spills easy to wipe up, and the lemon fights bacteria and germs that may have been growing inside. Plus, it makes the whole thing smell citrusy fresh!</p>
<p></p>
<h2><strong>2.&nbsp; &nbsp;Baking Soda</strong></h2>
<p>Baking soda is a great, food-safe deodorizer and sanitizer, plus it's gently abrasive, so you can get spills scraped off without damaging the interior of the microwave. Mix two parts baking soda and one part water to make a thick, abrasive paste. Apply your baking soda paste to the worst of the stains, giving the whole inside of your microwave an even coat, then allow it to sit for five minutes. At this point, you can either wipe up the paste and the stains with it, or you can double up using the next method.</p>
<p></p>
<p><img alt="A woman's hand reaches out to touch a button on a stainless steel microwave." src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/blog/iStock-884707778.jpg?w=700" /></p>
<p></p>
<h2><strong>3.&nbsp; &nbsp;Vinegar</strong></h2>
<p>This hack is just about as easy as the first one, and you can do it alone or as a follow-up to your baking soda soak. Just fill a bowl with two cups of water and two tablespoons of white vinegar, and microwave the mixture for one or two minutes. Vinegar has powerful cleansing properties, and combined with steam it loosens up all the gunk caked onto your microwave. Keep the microwave door closed for a few minutes after it&rsquo;s done running, to really let the steam go to work. Then open it up and wipe it down, making sure to remove any baking soda residue leftover from the previous method.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Now take a deep breath. Notice anything different? That's right, no more burnt popcorn smell, or lingering odors from last week's dinner! In addition to being great cleaners, all of these hacks strip away unpleasant smells from your microwave too. Now you're ready to whip up an easy meal with no mess and no stress about germs or unwanted flavors.</p>

3 Easy Microwave Cleaning Hacks

To choose that perfect microwave for your kitchen, you'll want to take a few things into consideration ...

<p><img src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/2019/iStock-918377548 _1_.jpg?w=700" /></p>
<p>The microwave: It's where we go to whip up popcorn for a family movie night, or to heat up leftovers on busy weekdays, or make hot chocolate on a rainy afternoon. When simplicity is your goal, your microwave is always there for you -- so make sure you're picking out the right one!</p>
<p>Countertop and over-the-range microwaves are the two most common types you'll find when you start shopping -- but what are the pros and cons of each, and how do you pick between them? To choose that perfect microwave for your kitchen, you'll want to take a few things into consideration.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Kitchen Size</h2>
<p>If you have an especially small kitchen, this question is a no-brainer. Countertop microwaves eat up valuable surface space that could be used for food prep, storage, or even decorations. Over-the-range microwaves are installed under your cabinetry, up off the countertop. In a small kitchen, you'll want to save every inch of counter space you can and opt for an over-the-range microwave.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Venting Power</h2>
<p>One of the biggest benefits of an over-the-range microwave is that it also doubles as a vent, essentially functioning as two appliances in one. This is the perfect solution for the average home cook, but for people who do professional cooking in their home kitchens, an over-the-range microwave might not cut it.</p>
<p>Over-the-range microwaves are great at siphoning out small amounts of steam, heat, smoke, or oil from your cooking surface, but it's not nearly as powerful or quiet as a dedicated vent hood. The average over-the-range microwave vents air at a rate of around 300 CFM (cubic feet per minute), while dedicated range hoods can reach rates above 450 CFM. If you plan to frequently cook large quantities of food, you may want to opt for a countertop microwave and leave the ventilation to an appliance designed just for the job.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Microwave Height</h2>
<p>One drawback of over-the-range microwaves is that getting food in and out isn't always practical. Kids and shorter adults may have trouble reaching them, and can even run the risk of spilling their hot food. Countertop microwaves have the benefit of being easily accessible for just about everyone.</p>
<p>On the other hand, some people may prefer not to have to hunch or lean over when getting food in and out of the microwave. Especially if you're taller or struggle with back pain, having an over-the-range microwave that sits comfortably at head-height may be preferable.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Ease of Installation</h2>
<p>Countertop microwaves require no installation or pre-measurement of your space -- all you have to do is plug them in and get cooking! Of course, you can always call our store if you want help getting a microwave installed stress-free, but if you want to start using your microwave as fast as possible, a countertop microwave is the simplest option. Countertop microwaves are also easy to take with you if you move around a lot, so once you've invested in that perfect microwave, you can keep it with you for a long time.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>If you have any other questions about whether a countertop or over-the-range microwave is right for you, give us a call or stop by our store to talk to an associate. Our appliance experts are prepared to guide you through the buying process and show you all the best options of either variety. With our extensive selection, you're sure to find an option that perfectly fits your space and your needs!</p>

That's especially true if you have one of the latest microwave models, which come bundled with convection technology for not just microwaving, but full on cooking! But even if you have a standard microwave, there are plenty of filling meals you can whip up in a snap without worrying about preheating and preparation. Here are just a few of our favorites!</p>
<p></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

It even includes a side of potatoes, for an extra satisfying meal!</p>

<p>If you like a little kick to your meals, this microwave jambalaya is just the thing! Spicy and savory with a little bit of sweet corn, jambalaya is a tasty and satisfying dish no matter how it's made -- but the fact that this recipe is so simple is certainly a mark in its favor!

<p>Your microwave is a lot more versatile than it gets credit for -- so make the most of it! These delicious dishes are sure to satisfy any night of the week, and best of all, the prep time fits into even the busiest schedules.
