You want to warm something up in the microwave for 2:30. What do you do?

Me too. The only time I enter a time is if I am using less power.

2,3,0 start

Other- I don't typical think in total length intervals. I will usually heat for 20-30 seconds, stir, heat another 20-30 seconds, stir etc until a desirable, even temperature is finally reached.

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

Same. Does not work on all microwaves.

25 years ago my elementary school teacher told us that people were so busy these days, that they will type :11 in the microwave instead of :10, and I have done it ever since.

My mind is blown.

NP. Mine too, because I’m just like…how long is it taking you mf-ers to find the 3 and the 0 on the keypad?

There isn’t a 3 or 0 on ours…so, a long ass time.

WHAT

Depends on what I want to warm. I usually will warm at a lower setting to a longer time. so I will hit - power - 50% for 4 minutes, and then at 80% for 1 minute. I want the food nicely heated through without becoming overly cooked or burned. It needs to taste freshly cooked.

There are other buttons on the microwave??? I can only see the 30 second one.

[Anonymous]

I would put cook time at 222.
Close enough and easier than typing 230.

[Anonymous]

I'd put it in the oven.

It has a dial for setting time duration, a few presets like popcorn, and a 30 sec button.

This. I am so confused by this thread. I realize there are some microwaves that only have express buttons but the ones like that I’ve run across were in a convenience store and had specific “numbers” for specific products. Even our cheap one at work has a Time Cook button option. Press that button, then the exact time, Start and done.

Guess I learned something new today.
