Apartment Therapy recommends the natural method, which is probably also the best smelling. First, clean the crumbs out of the microwave. Next, fill a microwave-safe bowl with a cup or two of water. Add some lemon juice or a slightly squeezed half lemon to the bowl (some people use a couple of tablespoons of vinegar instead of the lemon). Now nuke it! Microwave that for a few minutes until the water is boiling. Keep the door closed afterward to let the steam work its magic loosening dried-on food. After a few minutes, wipe down the inside of the microwave with a damp cloth. Food splatters should come off easily. Wipe down the outside of the microwave with a kitchen cleaner and you're finished!
TV dinner, anyone?
