My current microwave has too damn complicated controls and is full of unnecessary features for me to actually know how to adjust the power so I just go with full power, with 30 second increments because I don't have the degree necessary to understand anything else. It's like trying to fly a damn airplane, except worse.
My old microwave had just two dials: one for time, one for power. That was the peak of microwave technology and we should all go back to it. A microwave doesn't need to do ANYTHING else than just shoot fucking radiation to anything that is put inside it, I don't know why the hell do they add all these random buttons and just add a picture of a fucking carrot or some shit on it like it's universally understood what that even fucking means.

Not a fan of the popcorn button that every bag of popcorn tells you not to use?

I just use the same power setting for everything. It's not like my shitty microwave is consistent enough for it to matter.

CHEF MIKE!

I have never learned how to change the microwave power setting, and now I am too afraid to try it
-
I set the power to 50% and then double the cooking time. Takes longer but everything turns out better.
-
I do the same thing!
-
I put it on full power until part of it starts boiling, then reduce power to low until it's heated through.
-
-
It just turns off the element that emits the waves for a percentage of the time so the heat has a chance to spread out more evenly. My problem is that I skim the instructions for the time, miss that it says medium power, and burn my item to a crisp on accident.
-
I think the active component in a Microwave Oven is called the Magnetron, not the element. Both are usually turned on and off for partial power though.

Usually there’s a button right next to the numbers or start button that’s for cook power.
It’s only a one time thing, it doesn’t save either.
-
I always microwave on low power with longer cook time. Prevents cold spots and burnt spots
-
Mine you need to press tge power settings until the desired power (start in 10 and go down up to 1), then press the time as usual and start.

I wish they had some kind of iron chef for microwaves.
-
Right? Just throw them into some random person’s apartment with whatever ingredients they’ve got on hand.
