Aha. I just learned what my scrubbie bad is called. Scotch Brite pads, the green ones.

RE: Cleaning a Burnt Microwave

If the microwave isn't literally burned up, only has the burnt-food smell, try cleaning it the usual way: that is, put a teacup of water with either dish soap or a slice of lemon, in. Heat it on "Hi" for several minutes to allow the water to boil and steam to fill the interior. Let set for a couple of minutes and scrub with a dishrag. If it's bad, you may need a "scratch pad." The ones I use are stiff and sort of like nylon sandpaper. I guess you could also use a "scrunchy" type, but I personally wouldn't recommend steel wool. Some people prefer lemon, but I just dip a cup of my existing dishwater before I've begun washing the dishes.
Best to you! Erin Go Bragh!
