Warm Soapy Water or Baking Soda
After the turntable is removed, wash it with warm soapy water, using a soft sponge. If there’s stubborn grime, you can sprinkle a little baking soda on the turntable and scrub gently. Baking soda acts as a mild abrasive, so it will clean without scratching the glass.
Dishwasher
If your microwave’s turntable is dishwasher-safe, you can just place it on the top rack and run it through a cycle.
If the Turntable Still Won’t Come Out:
Apply Gentle Heat
Try running the microwave for a few seconds to warm the turntable slightly (without food inside). The heat can sometimes loosen any sticky substances around the turntable, making it easier to remove.
Use a Flat Tool to Help
If it’s still stuck, carefully use a flat, non-sharp tool (like a plastic spatula) to gently lift the turntable. Just be sure to avoid forcing it, as this could break the turntable or microwave components.
