I put a croissant sandwich for a minute in the microwave then took my dog for a walk. When I came back the microwave was still going and started freaking out knowing I probably added and extra zero to the minute. The kitchen was smokey and the sandwich was nuked. Anyone know how to get rid of the burnt smell from the kitchen especially the microwave?

You could try lighting one of those chunky vanilla candles and put it near the microwave for a few hours. Might work.

Open all your windows and turn on some fans... Get the air circulating.

Yikes. Opening the windows will allow the air to circulate, and then spray Frabreeze (sp?) or light a scented candle, like Peg suggested, near the microwave. You can get scented candles that are made specifically for the kitchen to take care of smells.

For the microwave burnt smell I found this info on howtogetridofstuff.com. This was just one of their suggestions.


For A Citrus Smell, Use Lemon
Everyone knows that citrus fruits like lemon and orange give off a pleasant smell. Their acidic qualities also make them ideal natural deodorizers and cleaners for various tasks, including cleaning out the microwave and removing its foul scent. Here's how to do it.

1.Get a thick slice of lemon, put it on a paper towel, and microwave it on high for at least one to two minutes. Let it stand overnight.

2.Put half a cup of bottled lemon juice in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave it again for one to two minutes. It's also okay to dilute the juice with water. Add several whole cloves.

3.Wipe the insides of the microwave with a paper towel soaked in a water and lemon juice solution. Do the same for the doors, sides, window, seams and door seals. Wipe dry.

This suggestion came from associatedcontent.com

Precautionary Statement

For best results, consult the guide that came with your appliance. Never use caustic chemicals or heat anything potentially toxic in your microwave oven. Use common sense, and try these tips until you find one that works for your particular situation. Each microwave oven is different as is the severity of each individual problem, so don't expect a miracle solution. It can take days to rid a microwave oven of a burned smell caused by overheating food or something that should have never been heated in the appliance to begin with.

Vinegar

White vinegar is a fantastic natural cleaning solution, and it does a tremendous job of getting rid of odors. I had made the mistake of pressing the automatic popcorn button on my microwave oven twice and walking away. I didn't realize I pressed it twice, and the smell of something burning brought me running back into the room. My bag of popcorn had turned into a smoking bag of soot that was filling the entire house with a very bad smell. The microwave was terribly stained, and the smell was terrible. I never thought I'd get out the burned smell.

Although nothing I did returned the interior color of my microwave bake to white, I was able to get rid of the burned smell. I thoroughly cleaned the interior with a solution of vinegar and water, and I warmed a small bowl of white vinegar for about 40 seconds. I allowed the vinegar to sit undisturbed in the microwave for 24 hours. I wiped it out once again, and luckily it no longer had the terrible smell of burned popcorn. Depending on the severity of the problem, this solution might also work for you.

I'll take lemon over the smell of vinegar any day... Reminds me too much of those photographic darkrooms. :sweat:

Really I never burned anything in the kitchen until recently. It is usually when I use frozen peas in a little water. I put them on and then go and see there is something interesting on the Japan TV channel. By the time I remember to go back to the stove....quelle mess.

Oh Well..
Blame it on my youth...

I suggest microwaving six slices of thick Applewood smoked bacon...after that that's all you'll smell and you'll have no problems whatsoever.

Ehh, why waste 'em in the microwave?

Just use an old, well-seasoned cast iron skillet.... And have some asparagus to wrap them around. :drooling:

Heh... You don't wanna waste any space when makin' bacon. :mrgreen:

I definitely can't understand how my roommates are hooked on Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 :sweat: :sweat:

At school they talk about it, at home they youtube videos as well as play the games for hours.


I'm beginning to miss those days where they own me pretty badly in Smash Bros. Brawl. Least with that game we all played it together.
