How old is your microwave? That's some slow computing.

brand new. the pause is in case you are going to enter more numbers (like 10:00 or 1:15). after 2 seconds it assume 1 minute and auto starts.

Setting it for 66 seconds is the most efficient way (if you don't have the quick minute or add 30 sec buttons)

This is what I normally do. Honestly, I sort of can't stand when I hit 1 and it automatically starts at one minute. Drives me crazy. There should be a separate button for one minute aside from just tacking it onto the 1. So then I have to hit Cook Time and whatever time I want.

I also just throw shite in the oven during pre-heating which also drives her crazy.


Now that can legit mess up the cooking process of your meal.

My microwave has a knob/dial that increases time when turned clockwise and decreases time when turned counterclockwise. I don’t mess with input of actual numbers.

START is 30 seconds, then every time I press it, it increases in 30 second increments until desired time.

It's funny how the microwave knows that you mean 1 minute when you type in 100.

yes this is how mine works. If you want 5 minutes, just press 5… 3 minutes press 3. Don’t even have to press Start

We have a microwave that has a dial for time. It’s gotta be 50 years old.

I usually set it to 69.

A while back it was 6-7, just to show the kiddos their old man keeps up with the latest fads.

You don’t have the auto minute button on your microwave?

You sound poor.
