Your microwave oven has its own microbiome

From the article:

But for the general public, the implications of the study are simpler. “A microwave is not a pure, pristine place,” Porcar says. It’s also not a pathogenic reservoir to be feared, he says. But he does recommend cleaning your kitchen microwave often — just as often as you would scrub your kitchen surfaces to eliminate potential bacteria.

An interesting read, one of the reasons why I clean the things that I own. Microorganisms will find ways to survive and thrive on any surface. I like to first clean and then use a natural sanitizer after.

What do you use as a “natural sanitizer?”

Seventh Generation has a disinfectant based on an essential oil, thymol is the active ingredient.

How does bacteria live through being microwaved? I would think they’d boil from the inside out.

If you’re reading this I am in dire straights, possibly dead. I woke up this morning to find my microwave is bursting with tardigrades. I have left it cooking nonstop for 13 consecutive days and they’ve only gotten more pissed off. I’ve welded their every possible exit from the machine shut, but I fear they are beginning to chew their way out. If you’re reading this, tell the government they need to drone strike my location immediately, possibly nuke it. The world is not prepared for what is inside my microwave.

Y’all ever see that one episode of Cowboy Bebop

Touch the inside walls of your microwave after you heat something up. They don’t get all that hot.

No the fuck it does not. I’m one of those people that actually cleans theirs. Seeing any kind of spill in the microwave, or stuff on the walls, grosses me out.

You must be fun at those parties you were never invited to

What a weird thing to attack someone over.

this isnt about spills. the point is that microwaves arent self-cleaning on a microbial level. even if your microwaves looks prestine, it could still house a lot of bacteria that are capable of surviving radiation.
