Follow up:

If #2, at what length of time do you put in the exact time? 4 minutes? 7? Never?

I would just put it in for 2 minutes 30 seconds and go after a minute to flip or stir. Why are people hitting 30 seconds over and over?

I ht 2 which automatically does 2 minutes, and then hit the 30 seconds button.

hit 1 minute 3x then just watch when I think it's getting near time

#1. My microwave doesn’t have the 30 sec button.

2 min, stir, then decide whether I want to add more.

I do this as well. Press 2, press +30, done.

30-30-30. Stir 30-30

In this example, I just push 3 for express cook. The real problem seems to be something like 3 minutes 20 seconds. Nannies and family members alike don’t want to learn to press “cook time,” then 320, then start. They all push express cook 4 and count backwards.

My mistake. It thought it said cook for 3 minutes.

But you get my point.

Option 1 and I'm horrified to consider the psychos who do option 2

My microwave, the 1-6 are all express buttons for 1-6 minutes. So I press "2" for 2 minutes, then the +30 second button once for 2:30.
