Literal child minded people.
You are using an incredible machine. Press more buttons other then +30+30+30+30start
Wait till you find out that in Europe a lot of microwaves still only have two dials you turn, 0 buttons or only the very basic of buttons alongside.
I've never really needed the other buttons. It has a whole ass numpad and loads of menus, when all I need is a dial for time and maybe one for power.
The reason there's tons of buttons and settings is because it looks better on the showroom floor, especially when sitting next to other microwaves. Same goes for just about every appliance: They're not made to work particularly well or last long, just look better than the other guy in a big-box store.
The fact that I can't test drive an appliance before buying it is very frustrating.
I think a very simple design could look elegant if done right. But then you couldn't sell it on who-gives-a-shit features. Automatic salmon cooking. In the microwave. What the actual fuck
That's because we use them for a) melting butter or b) heating soup
They're fucking awful for cooking
Chef Mike has his place. You just have to know what his strengths and weaknesses are. And not have a cheap ass piece of shit one, like most things, cheap usually means shit.
Kinda makes sense when the only "food* that doesn't heat better in a pan or a convection oven is ultra-processed gash
Not very popular in most places
Porridge out the microwave is decent enough!
True, forgot that!
+1 for popcorn. Check out the silicone bowls like hotpop so you can use that melted butter!
They are only awful for cooking if you don't know when or how to use em.
Or if you don't know what fresh produce is 😂
TIL that Europe doesn’t have microwaves that transform bell pepper soup into boiling hot lava in 38.2 seconds. The bowl is untouchable too
Our microwaves would do it in ten seconds because we don't have girly pink sequinned 110v electric
