Q: I had the honor of hosting Thanksgiving dinner at my house this year. While it was a lot of work, I enjoyed having my family members with me at my house. During the “aftermath” of the holiday, one of my teenagers was reheating some leftovers and apparently left it in the microwave too long. I found the mess today (mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, candied yams) stuck all over the microwave. Can you let me know the best way to remove the stuck on food?
A: Take a microwave safe container and fill it with water. Place the container in the microwave and set the time for 60 to 75 seconds. The water will heat up and create steam in the microwave softening the dried up “clued on” food so you can release it from the walls of your microwave.
Happy Cleaning!
