Remove house of burnt popcorn smell?

Answer 1

About all a microwave user can do is give the cavity (the place where you put the stuff you want to heat) a really good cleaning and clean the vents in the cabinet. Taking it apart to clean it is pretty much out of the question. The smell of popcorn will subside over time and with use, but short of taking it in and having it taken apart and cleaned, there isn't much you can do. (It's almost certainly too dangerous to take it apart.) Fortunately, the unit will work okay, and if food put in is covered (as it should be), it shouldn't pick up the taste. Answer: Try this: I have had this problem numerous times, mostly from burned popcorn, but today, from a burned brownie (the kind that come with microwaveable meals, I cut out the section with the brownie one day when I didn't want the brownie, and saved it for later, but when I tried to cook just the brownie portion today, I didn't adjust the cook time, and voila, instant house filled with thick smoke that smelled like pure burnt sugar). I tried everything, from vinegar with baking soda to Windex to orange scented cleanser to Pine-Sol, and nothing worked to kill the lingering smell inside the microwave. I refused to admit defeat, because it's a brand new microwave! I'll save my rant about the popcorn button on it for some other forum, let's just say, the only way I can cook popcorn without burning it is to underpop the stuff. Microwave is too powerful for it's own good, and even reducing the power level doesn't help, because then the popcorn stops and starts popping a lot, which results in disaster. Finally, I thought of something: Coffee absorbs odors! I put two tablespoons of freshly ground coffee into a ceramic coffee cup, and added enough water to bring it to about half full. When you do this, be sure to sit the coffee mug down into a microwave-safe ceramic or glass bowl or something, because it boils over all over the place). Put that in the microwave and nuke it for about two minutes (long enough for it to boil all over the place, or preferably into the bowl). It will splash out around the microwave some, but that's a good thing in my opinion! Open the door, carefully remove the bowl and mug (carefully! It was boiling a second ago, remember?!) and sit it gently down into the sink to cool. Immediately wipe out the microwave with a damp cloth or paper towels, and if you have a pool of liquid in the bottom of the microwave, use a handful of paper towels to soak it up so you don't get any on yourself and burn yourself. After you've wiped it all clean, poke your head in and smell the inside of the microwave. Smell anything other than a little coffee smell? Repeat if you need to, I had to do it twice, but the smell seems to be gone now! I also wiped the inside down with some windex afterward to be sure I got all the coffee to prevent coffee stains. nail polish Remover (Acetone) worked for me! I just moved into a brand new home with build in microwave. My daughter burned a cup of noodle in the microwave. All the yellow spots are gone and most of the smell too. Thank you Did you leave that microwave popcorn in there too long? Do you have a brown, yucky mess? I did too! I tried one tip that barely worked, then I remembered using something to clean off the soot on the inside of my wood stove window. SIMPLE GREEN. Yes, it's simple and it's in a green can. I like the fact that it's also non-acidic, non-toxic, and bio-degradable. And boy does it work! I used it to get off the brown stains in my microwave from really OLD popcorn. I sprayed it on, waited 2 minutes (if that), and wiped with a paper towel and that was it. No more brown stains! Hallelujah for Simple Green. Acetone: I came here this afternoon to ask the same question about a yellow/brown stain from popcorn in my microwave. I got a new microwave two years ago today. About a week later I tried out the "popcorn" button that was supposed to be pre-programmed for a store-bought bag of microwave popcorn. Well, instead of yummy popcorn, I got a burning mess that left a brown/yellow stain on the whole left inside wall of the oven. I was really upset! I tried everything, oxiclean, bleach, baking soda, you name it. The smell went away within a few days of cooking, but the stain lasted. I had a service guy here from the manufacturer for another problem with the microwave and he said "Oh, you'll never get rid of that popcorn stain". As I said, I came here today to ask about getting rid of the stain. I tried acetone and it worked! I used cotton balls, a sponge and then a "scotch-brite" pad (the green nylon things that don't scratch) and it's gone! My microwave looks as good as new! Thank you so much for the suggestions here and to whomever keeps this board/site running. What a great resource! By the way, when the stain was all gone, I soaked a washcloth with vinegar and wiped all the inside surfaces with it. Then I used some soap and water on the inside surfaces. I let that dry, then did the little trick with the vanilla and the inside smells fresh, no harsh odors, and the food cooked in the microwave came out smelling/tasting "normal".

What You Will Need:

• Coffee
• Vinegar
• Coffee mug or small bowl
• Bowl or small bucket
• Water
• Soft cloths or paper towels
• Rubber Gloves (optional)

1. If the lingering odor is still a problem, there are two methods you can try: coffee and vinegar. We'll start with the coffee method.
2. Coffee is known to absorb odors, so fill the coffee mug or small bowl with about 2 tablespoons of ground coffee and ½ cup of water.
3. Set the cup in a small bowl (to catch any overflow as it boils) and place it in the microwave.
4. Microwave the coffee on high for about 2 minutes. Be careful when you go to remove it as it will be HOT.
5. Repeat as necessary.
6. Another odor remover is vinegar. Fill the small bowl about half full of vinegar and place it in the microwave.
7. Turn the microwave on and let it heat until it steams.
8. Once it has developed a good amount of steam, turn off the microwave and let it set for about 10 minutes.
9. Wipe out the microwave with water and a soft cloth.
10. There may be a vinegar smell in the microwave, but this will dissipate within a day or two.
