Burnt something in microwave, still smells

Question

I was microwaving a brownie... I looked in on it when there were 17 seconds left in the time, and it looked fine... then suddenly smoke started pouring out of the vents!

I cleaned out the microwave, wiped out the inside, used two different kinds of cleaner... and the smell is still there!

any ideas on how I can get rid of it, or will it go back to normal on its own...?

As an added bonus, either solution will loosen stuck food and make it very easy to give the microwave a good cleaning.

Answer 4

The previous answer is good, but I would recommend a microwave safe plate vice a paper one, since any moisture on the paper plate can cause a little burning of the paper plate.  Other than that, it's a great method.
