If I had a little more time I would go take a picture of my microwave because it's almost as bad as what you see here. We had a little cooking incident last night (yes, to me microwaving = cooking).
To get the thing clean, we look to Tip Nut. I found their site at some point in the past because they linked to one of our posts. After watching their blog for a couple days, we are now faithful subscribers because, well, we are Tip Nuts too.
In their post they listed 5 ways to clean baked-on, caked-on crud out of your microwave. Here is the tip that I used this morning with success:
Place a bowl of water in the microwave and heat for 3 - 5 minutes, depending how hard the crud is really stuck on. When microwave stops, keep the door closed to give the moisture and steam the heated bowl of water generated to have time to work. Remove bowl (careful, it’s hot) and take a moist, warm cloth to the inside of the microwave. The crud bits should wipe off easily.The remaining 4 tips are at How To: Microwave Cleaning Tips
