How to clean a microwave

Can you put glass in the microwave?
As a general rule, glass cookware is microwave safe, whereas glass cups and mugs are usually not suitable to be used in the microwave. When it comes to glass items, make sure to always check for the "Microwave Safe" or "Not for Use in Microwaves" labels – these are usually found at the back of dishes and cookware, or at the bottom of cups, mugs and glasses.
Are microwaves dangerous?
Microwave-heated food is perfectly safe to eat. Microwave ovens, unlike other higher-radiating radiofrequency, operate at a frequency that is not hazardous.
As a measure of precaution, if the door on the microwave oven does not close tightly or is twisted, deformed, or otherwise damaged, do not use it. Also, try not to stand directly in front of the microwave for lengthy periods of time to avoid any injuries in case of malfunction.
