There's an easy(ish) way to clean one. Put about 1-1.5 cups of water into a microwave safe bowl or glass (I use Pyrex measuring cup) and microwave it for about 10+ minutes. Let the water boil really good and the hot steam will soften all the crap on the inside of the microwave. Get the cup out carefully, wipe the inside with a wet cloth, maybe spray some cleaner if oily and you're done.
Oh that's smart. I'm gonna try this on my microwave
Be very careful doing this. The water can become superheated and explode when the surface tension is broken. Honestly, it's probably better to find an alternative way to clean your microwave.
Couldn't you put a little salt or something in it to make sure it has a nucleation point to start boiling
I'm not sure. That sounds like it might work, but I don't have any source to know if it will.
