Clean Your Microwave With Ease

Is your microwave dirty?  Cleaning a microwave is one of those things that I always put off.  I think mostly because it’s out of sight and out of mind until, of course, I have to use it.  Then I realize how dirty it is.  But right then, I’m kind of in the middle of needing to microwave something.  I’m not going to take the time to wash my microwave out when I’m trying to get something heated quickly.  I will, if I don’t get sidetracked after I’m done cooking, but chances are, I’ll be on to the next thing that happens to be right in front of me.

Well, today was my day of memory.  My microwave was getting too gross.  It’s time to remove all that stuck on food and I have a tip to share to make it a tad bit easier.

Yuck, yuck, yuck!
  1. Grab a microwave safe bowl.  The wider the rim, the better.
  2. Fill it with water and 1 teaspoon of vanilla (could also use vinegar or lemons but I wanted the sweet smell of vanilla wafting through my house)
  1. Cook on High for about 5 minutes, letting that water get all steamy
  2. Let sit for a couple minutes to let the steam continue to release onto the walls of the microwave.
  3. Remove that bowl of water with hot pads
  4. Grab a dish rag and wipe out the microwave.  The stuff just melts off because the steam has helped to loosen it.  Works like a charm.
Tada
Now I can be surprised at how white the inside of my microwave is every time I decide to use it!

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
