Dear Just Be: My microwave has food caked in it that I just can’t get off. Any tricks?

A great trick I learned for cleaning out microwaves is:

In a bowl take one part vinegar to two parts water and boil ( put in microwave on high) for two minutes. Let the bowl of water and vinegar steam in the microwave until it is cool. Then open up the microwave, take out the bowl of water and vinegar and simply wipe out your dirty microwave. Caked on food should fall and come off effortlessly.
