It was splattered with tomato sauce. I even put the glass tray in the dishwasher

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Wait wait. Do people not just cook a potato and wipe it down after as cleaning?
My whole life when the microwave needs a wash, you put in a big potato in a bowl of water, like an Idaho, or up to three Yukon gold or baby reds (whatever fits your bowl).. you prick them with a fork, put them in a large soup bowl with like a half inch water, and microwave for 11 min on high.
Let sit for 3 min after it’s done and eat as a baked potato or mashed potato, whatever you like, it’s a potato.
But then importantly you clean the microwave because the steam from 11 minutes of potato loosens all the shit and you can just wipe it out.
Cleaning is as easy as making dinner sometimes.
Same thing but with half a lemon, allegedly the acidity helps to loosen stuck on garbage. Also maybe not 11min.
Upside, smells like lemon
Downside, no potato
Seems like work with no up-side, since no potato.
You could add a lemon to your potato for the same effect I guess. (But for real just the water vapor does the job 100% a bowl of water would do the job but making a potato wastes less energy because you are making food)
