What wonderful and smart ideas.. Thanks everyone for sharing..
When cleaning tips in the microwave, are they then grease free and usable for royal icing?
Yes, that's why I use Dawn dish soap or anything that says it cuts grease. It only takes a small squirt for the bowl of water.
Take the dirty tips, rinse them out (I use my pinky to plunge the big chunks out) and put them in a GLASS bowl and COVER WITH WATER. (Yes, I am "shouting" that because it is a very important point.) Cover the tips about an inch over with water and give a squirt of Dawn or other dish soap. Then nuke for four minutes, dump out, rinse off and let air dry. You won't have a problem if the tips are covered in water, but you'll have a fire on your hands if you don't!
OMG!!!!!! I'm TOTALLY going to try this!!!!!!!
What an awesome tip Bob!!!!!
Thanks!
I learned it here on CC -- and was the BIGGEST opponent of it you could imagine. Finally someone got sick of me (I know, hard to imagine, huh?) and told me to just try it once. Well heck, if that's all it takes... 
Now I'm a convert and the BIGGEST advocate for this method! Who knew?? 
Wow thanks everybody that has contributed,i just saw this thread now,but will be reading it 2moro.I'm sure i'll learn a lot.
