I tried using their auto-defrost thing the other day because I had some frozen spaghetti sauce to thaw. I got to the second menu and they had like chicken, beef, fish, and some othe stuff by no spaghetti sauce. I cancelled out of the whole thing and just put it in for a minute at a time until it was done.

That's my story - 1 minute button is still the best

The people who use those buttons are the very same people who are in the default photos in photo frames, people with names like John Q. Sample, Jane Smith, Benjamin Butthole, Joe Bloggs and John Doe. They save their documents as "Untitled", eat pizza with no toppings and autistically write down "Loren Ipsum" everywhere, along with their social security number of 123-45-6789.

i position my food on the target beneath the death ray, walk behind the lead-lined glass, and throw the high voltage switch into the closed position
for 15 seconds on high

I always use the pizza button, and I get on my roommate's asses if they don't use it as well.

kind of a weird thing to get all horned up about but i guess to each his own

so like you even use the pizza button for heating up hot chocolate or thawing some meat?

e: also its kind of cool that your roommate has more than one butt has he ever done an AMA? would prob be popular

Don't use the presets but a good understanding of the power setting lets you cook temperamental meals in the microwave like a boss.

I used to have a microwave that didn't have this quick start crap. If you wanted to nuke something for a minute fifteen you punched "115 start" and it was glorious.

I used to never care how fancy my microwave was and just bought the cheapest thinking there was no difference, and all of the preset buttons suck. Then one day for some reason my grandpa bought me some huge gently caress off expensive microwave and dammit, those buttons actually work as advertised.

i dont know exactly what that is, but i feel like this is a thing that i'll use exactly twice before i realize the prep/cleanup is too much hassle and i'll put it in storage or sell it for $10 at a yard sale
