I just use glass cleaner or soapy water. When I clean the range top, I wipe out the microwave. It you clean it everytime you use it, or every time you get a spill, it's not that hard. Try boiling some water in the microwave - that will get all the cooked on food moist. Then try wiping the gunk off with a wet, soapy sponge or dish rag.

I was thinking the same thing. Little soap and water. every time I do my dishes, I put the microwave plate along with my dishes. maybe a couple times a week. yes and use glass cleaner for outside.

Put water in a microwave safe bowl adn put it in the microwave for about 20 minutes. You sould be able to wipe most the grime off after that. The water and heat causes condensation which moistens the old dried food. You can also put a cut up lemon or some lemon juice to help with any smell. Hope that helped.

you should put a mug of water and salt in there first and cook it for a minute. all the stuff stuck in there will get unstuck and also "holy cow" that pink degreaser works really well

I also just use water, place in a bowl and after it steams, I just wipe it clean. Sometimes I put a little lemon juice in with it as well and takes any odors out. Vinegar takes out the odors as well.

I try to clean mine often as well, but I think I'd use the boil water trick if it got too bad.

LOL I've seen that show. Now mine has never gotten that bad. Thanks for sharing. I guess the lemons look like the better way to go so far.
