   You'll want a bout 5 or 6 tablespoons if you use lemon juice and 3 tablespoons of vinegar.
   
   Fresh Lemon can also be used; you would use 1 big slice, cut in half and squeezed into the water. , The lemony steam works away at cooked on food and grease. , Allow the bowl or mug to sit in the microwave once the cooking process has finished for an additional 4 to 5 minutes; this allows the steam to cool. , Be careful; it will be hot! Do not empty the bowl or cup yet. , Wipe out the microwave.
