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.

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

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

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.

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.

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