How do you get that burnt popcorn smell out of a microwave?

[CN Spots]

Seriously, I've tried everything I can think of and it still stinks! Cleaned it with vinegar, baking soda, even boiled vinegar and baking soda (not together) to no avail. There's gotta be some trick that'll get the smokey smell out. Ideas?<br /><br />Sat it out in the yard for ten minutes to boil the baking soda... neighbors probably think I'm cooking meth. <br /><br /><br />spots

How do you get that burnt popcorn smell out of a microwave?<br /><br />Take your fishing shoes out of the microwave. <br /><br />Sorry, can't help, don't do micro corn. Do hot air popper.<br />Cheaper, better tasting, no additives/preservatives, hydrogenated oils, and no stink in the house.

Have you tried sitting an open container of baking soda in there overnight?

Try putting your used coffee grounds in it overnight a few times.This worked on a refrigerator that crapped out while we were away for two weeks.

Thanks guys. One person on that thriftyfun site suggested taking it apart and cleaning it's innards. I suspected I was gonna have to do that. Rats. <br /><br />New rule; No more popcorn in my house!<br /><br />spots
