Are you kidding me? Cleaning a micro-wave is easy, put it outside, plug it in, set it to max time and power, turn it on, and walk away. If need be repeatedly set it to max time and power until you can just tip out the ash. Just like a self cleaning oven only faster.
Though if you really are set on getting rid of the microwave, you should set a carton of eggs inside of it first (put it outside and plug it in just like before of course) then videotape the resulting destruction of an abomination of science by unfertilized chicken ovums.
He obviously didn’t know that you should always use less power to reheat cheesy dishes. I usually use 70% and an extra minute when I’m reheating lasagna.
As far as getting rid of the microwave, just leave it out by the curb on trash dayl ;D
And what you are trying to clean. I found that the easiest method for most microwave ‘disasters’ is to take a cleaning cloth. Get it soaking wet and put it in a microwaveable dish or bowl. Nuke it for a minute or two and then use the cloth to clean the microwave. The moisture (read STEAM) from the wet rag softens up most dried-on messes and makes it easier to just wipe off.
You can use a cleaning solution on the rag, but be careful as some chemicals to not take kindly to being heated up and give off some nasty fumes and gases. Or worse
**CAUTION** The rag will be very HOT, so use caution when picking it up. Gloves of some sort are recommended. 🙂
The steam bit works for just about everything. Microwave a cup of water for a minute or two and the mess in there will be a million times easier to clean.
So reading this (From the FUTURE!) the first thing that pops into my head is the 12th doctor saying
The Doctor: Ever microwaved a lasagna without pricking the film on top?
Clara: It explodes.
The Doctor: Don’t be lasagna.

I usually stick a bowl of water in and set it for six minutes, steam clean!

Oh man, I WISH we had thought to do that.
She did get a new microwave, this one was on it’s way out though.

Oh my gosh. That is brilliant. I will totally remember this the next time I have to clean up a disaster.
