Wash your microwave. Checkmate.
Who has time for that shit?
Microwave a cup with water and vinegar until it boils. Then a single wipe cleans everything
You do this every time you use your microwave? Because we're talking about making around 6 - 10 cups of tea every day for everyone who happens to be in the room. It'd be a little odd to go and clean your microwave before every round of tea, not to mention microwaves don't heat things evenly so you can't do them all at once, it very quickly becomes way more effort than just flipping the switch on a kettle that is only ever used for that purpose.
First, clean your microwave. If things are picking up flavors from your microwave, that's a you thing, not a microwave thing.
Second, just cover things that you put into the microwave. You can get reusable covers, or you can often use a paper towel.
Third, a kettle is still better than a microwave for water.
Tea is an odour sponge. Russian caravan in it's original form obtained a distinctly woody smokey flavour just from being too close to a campfire. It's simulated today by mixing kemun, lapsang soushong, and oolong. But tea will take on the flavour of anything it's left with.
So will most things.
Oh, I use an electric kettle for tea and coffee for that matter. I was just giving the method I use to clean my microwave. I clean it whenever it gets dirty enough to bother me. I don't use it often and I mostly cover my food if I do heat it up. So about every 2-3 months?
Cleanliness and grooming? I thought this was just a trope…
Ok how often do you wash the inside of your microwave?
Weekly. Today’s the day.
You don't clean your kettle though? Same amount of time
I only clean the kettle after soup
Please stop making soup in your kettle.
I don't make popcorn in my kettle.
Apparently I’ve been making popcorn wrong this whole time /s
who has time to wash the benches either ? why bother oneself with vacuuming the floors ?
Do you vacuum the floor 6 - 10 times a day? If so, go get help.
do you cook odorous food in your microwave that often ? otherwise i dont see what your argument means
If it's not strong tasting/smelling there's no point in eating it.
again, an unrelated point. how frequently do u use your microwave ? i would have to guess at most once or twice a day ? unless you only eat microwave meals, or think that the microwave is the only way to cook things....
Me and I'm lazy! Get yourself some clorox wipes my dude.
Believe it or not, i don't want my lapsang tasting of bleach either.
That doesn't transfer in my experience though I don't do it with wet bleach in there. Maybe that is the ticket to my success: Drying it out first.
