Microwave ovens are used in most modern households. Here are some quick tips for general microwave use.

These days it would be hard to find a kitchen that isn’t equipped with a microwave oven. Whether used for cooking, defrosting or reheating, its convenience and speed fits in so well with modern lifestyles.

Microwave Cookware and Utensils

There are so many different kinds of cookware available specifically for microwave ovens, ranging from the utilitarian plastics and glass to ceramic dishes that are suitable for use as both cooking and serving dishes. Whichever option is chosen, there are a few things to keep in mind:

Microwave Cleaning

The best way to maintain a clean microwave is to wipe it out with a damp cloth after each use. For more thorough cleaning, place a cup containing water and two tablespoons of lemon juice in the oven and heat it on high for two to three minutes. This will soften the grime enough to make them easy to remove with a cloth.

To eliminate strong cooking odours in the microwave, increase the amount of lemon juice to half a cup per one cup of water, and heat.

Microwave Safety

Microwave ovens are incredibly useful for creating easy meals, reheating leftovers and defrosting.
