Clean Your Microwave in 90 Seconds

Okay, I just happened to discover a SUPER easy way to clean my microwave, by accident. So here's what you do. Get a microwave-safe dish/bowl and fill it with about an inch of water. Stick it in the microwave, close the door, and turn the microwave on high for about 3-5 minutes (or more if you added more water).
(Taken with my phone for quick upload & this picture was taken AFTER I cleaned it... clearly)
When it's done, CAREFULLY take out the hot dish with water and wipe down the walls, floor, and ceiling of the microwave with a damp cloth. The combination of the steam and heat soften the splatters and make for EASY removal of all the "junk".  The now dreaded task of cleaning my microwave is not so dreaded anymore. No more scrubbing or using chemicals to remove all the food spots. It took me about 90 seconds to wipe down my microwave sparkling clean after microwaving the water. I happened to discover this after I microwaved something with a high water content. After noticing that my microwave had steam all over it I decided to wipe it down to dry it. When I did, the food splatters just wiped off like it was a commercial or something. So there's your survival tip of the day. A super easy, and time-saver way to clean that microwave!
