        I can take a McDonalds cheeseburger thats been in the fridge for three days and nuke it to like it was just handed over the counter fresh by using 20-30% power for 4 minutes

          I do this with Taco Bell leftovers. They all work outside of the actual tacos (specifically Doritos locos) most everything else comes out deliciously.

          I still prefer to reheat crunchwraps in a skillet though.

      This is because all microwaves have terrible UI/UX. If you are supposed to use less than 100% then why do I have to hit 9 buttons every time I want to use less than 100% power? And only 1 button to use 100% power for a variety of different settings.

      Why is it not you hit Cook, then enter Power, then enter time? Like every single other stove in existence

      • No, if you’re using high power for anything longer than like 20 seconds to nuke a coffee or something, you’re microwaving wrong.

        Most things are 👌 3:00 @ Power Level 6 (60% on, 40% off)

          Yup, totally agree. Changed my microwaving habits a few years back. 3 minutes at about 600 watts works like a charm for just about everything. Add a minute or so if you’re heating soup or something else with a lot of mass/water.

          I always did 2 minutes at maximum power previously and it was always like the surface of the sun on the outside and cold on the inside.
