Bonus points to microwaves that automatically start when you press +30.
Yep, the cooking gets going while I press the +30 button additional times, saving precious second. Wish I could also change the power level while it’s running. update: That actually does work! +30 all the foods!
Our new microwave has that and the buttons 1-6 will start that number of minutes immediately. We were pretty excited about it because our old microwave didn’t even have the 30sec button.
I wish that function only worked on 1-3. I hate that I have to push the cook time first if I want 45 seconds. Do I ever put something in for 4 minutes straight? Absolutely not. If something needs that long to heat up, it probably needs to be on a lower power/defrost, or it’s a thick soup that is 2 minutes, stir, then 1 minute increments until just right.
i don’t like to move my finger around, so all my microwave times are of the 44, 77, 2:22, 4:44… format
Same vibe but I only use the +30s button to enter cook time. Bonus points to microwaves that automatically start when you press +30.

I like the 30 second button. I loathe the 1-6 minute buttons. Time entry club forever!

Me too! I totally set the microwave time based on vibes and just push the same button over and over until I feel like it’s the right amount.
44, 222, and 66 are the most common.
My wife does that. Early on, I asked her…
“Why do you set the microwave to 1:11?”
“Because it takes less time than 1:00.”
“I’m pretty sure it doesn’t.”
“🤦🏻♀️”
That 77 is hurtig my brain.
any number between 1 and 99 is just interpreted as seconds, no need for French Revolution era microwave
Sometimes, just to be insufferable, I’ll microwave something for one minute, but instead of entering 1:00 I enter 0:60.
