And one step further: why not boil EIS in the oven? If vigorously boiled the steam would carry particles/ions of EIS into all the nooks and crannies of the oven . . .

Boiling is distilling, and that leaves all the silver behind in the pan. It would be no different than boiling plain water. If you used an ultrasonic vaporizer, then it would produce a mist with the silver in it. But do you really want to coat everything with silver, including the high voltage wiring in the power section. Seems that could result in a rather explosive catastrophic failure.

Just curious, and not quibbling, but given that this group is devoted to EIS, why not use that? Might it not be less oxidative?

Taking things one step further: mightn't sunlight do the job? If one can spray something onto the components, sunlight might also reach them. I have read that 48 hours of sunlight on PET-bottled water renders it fit to drink -- the poor man's last-ditch water purification system.

 Kathryn,
You should consider Malcolms suggestion about using bleach. It is a great disinfectant and does dissipate leaving no residue. It generally isn't used for electronics because it is an oxidant and can corrode metals but if you dry the microwave in a reasonable time it should be no problem. One approach might be to:
