Both "200" and "160" are 2 minutes in microwave math

I'm not down with all this fancy technology.

My microwave has a dial and some cogs and that's about as far as I'm prepared to go. An added bonus is that I don't get blinded whenever walking into the kitchen in the middle of the night

What did he do with all of the time he saved?

They all do, you put the food on it and it spins while its cooking.

I thought modern microwaves didn't rotate at all. My Neff one doesn't.

Absolutely nothing. We both got the ADHD bad.

Microwave UIs suck so bad. I've yet to find an improvement on the classic two analog knobs system, where one controls power and the other sets time.

Jokes on you, my 6 button doesn't work so 160 gets me 10 seconds

I heated up a leftover chicken breast the other night, and felt as though that was a perfect example of something that needs to be reheated at a lower power level. If you've ever had leftover chicken from the microwave that was chewy or tough, there's a good chance it was that (unless it was tough to begin with).

Try using 80% heat (power level next time you have to re-heat up a thick piece of chicken. It really is a game changer.

That actually sounds lit I didn't know that existed

I just thought microwave chicken was terrible. I didn't know there was a way to make it better

Mine has a button to cycle between 5 power levels, a knob for time, and the start button is also a 30 second button. It's perfect

They do, his take is nonsense and sounds like RP, don't take it too seriously. Any trained engineer can tell you the historical reasons why we use base 60 for circles. This is actually a well known computer science issue, but not an engineering or math one.

Mine has special patterns on the walls to distribute the waves so there's no need for a turntable. It's nice because there's extra space inside, plus no mechanism so it's super easy to clean.

For like a full year after getting it, my brain would perceive a phantom rotation of whatever was in there, just because it had never seen a microwave without it.

That is how the first ones (that I saw) worked. I was so happy when I saw that not only do they still exist, my local grocery store started selling them. I bought my second one a few days ago.

If he's anything like me, that time would be spent on ranting about microwave ovens.

Not for this Sharp one.

Made a video to show it.
