The Dragon’s Breath Microwave Steam Cleaner is a novelty-designed kitchen tool that utilizes water and vinegar to loosen interior microwave debris. Constructed from food-grade polypropylene, this unit is designed to withstand the heat of standard microwave cycles, though the 1.2mm wall thickness suggests it is best suited for light household use rather than heavy-duty or commercial environments.
Practical safety features include a friction-fit head that acts as a steam distributor. Users should monitor the narrow vent openings, as mineral deposits from hard water can accumulate over time, potentially increasing internal pressure. To maintain the structural integrity of the plastic, it is helpful to observe the suggested 2-minute cooling period before handling the unit by its integrated wings.
The materials are rated to resist heat, providing a chemical-free method for home maintenance. While the design gamifies a routine chore, the polypropylene body may show signs of wear, such as white stress marks, if subjected to frequent high-wattage cycles. Regular rinsing of the internal reservoir helps prevent dry-firing, which can affect the base's longevity.
The use of acetic acid and water provides a practical way to soften organic splatters without the need for harsh cleaning agents.
If you prefer a more traditional vessel for preparing food alongside your cleaning routine, the Sistema 3.2L Steamer offers a high volume-to-footprint ratio for vegetable prep.
