Why this matters
Why bother?
Splatter becomes cement. Every reheat steam-lofts old food particles into whatever you're warming now. Yum?
How often
Weekly wipe; deep clean when it smells like a lab accident.
Pro tip
Bowl of water + lemon, nuke 3 min, steam wipe — almost no scrubbing.
Common mistake
Metal scrubbers on coated interiors — scratches harbor grime.
What happens if you skip
Mystery smells and the shame of guests using it.
