# How to Remove the Door Grid on a Microwave Oven
The door grid in a microwave oven allows you to view the food inside as it is cooking while, at the same time, keeping the microwaves trapped inside the oven. These grids are usually held in place by a plastic frame on the inside of the microwave door. Removing the door grid on a microwave oven involves removing the plastic frame so that you can gain access to the grid.
