After using the microwave for a little too long, it will start giving off a smell we wouldn’t really enjoy smelling, not when we are hungry at least. Cleaning it may not be enough, which is why you need to follow these steps:

Get a bowl, add lemon rids and then fill it halfway with water (make sure the bowl is microwave-safe). Cook it for 5 minutes in the microwave and allow the water to spread the steam inside. Remove the bowl carefully and wipe away the inside with a damp towel.

Just grate the lemon peel with a zester or a grater, and then add the zests on your dish when it is still fresh. Or, you can dry it using a paper towel and then store it in a jar in order to find it ready whenever you want.

Your cutting board also needs to be refreshed every once in a while because that’s where you cut the food that soon to be inside your belly. So we have to make sure it won’t be giving you any germs or bacteria, especially if you cut meat on it.

Get a lemon and rub the surface of the cutting board well, and then let it sit for a few minutes. Rinse it and enjoy using a board free from all bacteria and germs that could be lurking around it.
