Default Painting inside of microwave with radiator paint

If your microwave is not lined with stainless steel (and
maybe regardlessly), always leave the door ajar for a few
minutes to allow the steam and condensation to ventilate out.

Make a habit of wiping the inside after every serious usage.

I wonder what the original paint is? Stove enamel?

I do that every time it's used, although it is stainless steel.

I dont do anything like that and use it almost every day,
usually with steam being produced and have done that
for 50 years now. And its not stainless steel either.

Were Microwave ovens available to the domestic market
in 1970 though ?. I only remember them appearing in the
1980's.

When did other people buy their first one ? (1986 for me).

Yep.

I know I got the date right because thats when
I moved into the partly built house that I built myself
and got a microwave when I did. Its still going fine.

I remember them being available in the mid 70s for £300 each (70s money).

Had access to one at home from the mid 80's, but bought my own one in
'93, and its still working well (Panasonic, stainless interior).

Caveat: Remember to close the microwave door before pulling down a
plasterboard ceiling panel. I'm not sure if it is a common fault, but
that is what killed my last microwave.
