    Back in the bad old days, some ovens just had a clockwork dial that you’d crank to however minutes of microwaving you wanted. No on switch, just turn it and wait for the “ding”. OP’s method really isn’t too different since it’s the same number of steps.

      At an old job we had some rooms with really bad internet connection but not always. Network people came by with some ghost busters shit and went around asking us all to do really inconvenient shit – “please disable that hotspot” ugh… (And I had lots of tech at the time). They tracked it down to interference from an old microwave down the hall from the rooms that had problems.

        Sounds nice to have a “network interference button” at your disposal. Well-timed frozen burritos would make an excellent cover for extra breaks.
