People should really familiarise themselves with their microwaves instruction manual because using a microwave isn't just putting something in the microwave and punching in some random amount of time

You need to use power levels with certain foods to avoid over cooking or under cooking them

Instructions? Power levels? Nah, just keep chucking stuff in there and mashing 30s until something happens.

Same. Reading manuals and messing with whatever finicky-ass UX they have for adjusting power or whatever other gimmick setting sounds… well… I’ll save that kind of thinking for the rest of my life, where the downside, if I don’t do it, will be more than just cold food.

Don't know how to use the microwave? Jail.

Knowing how to use microwave, believe it or not: jail. Right away jail.

Nuke it until it's hot enough to melt my mouth.

People still have microwaves?

Edit: this was meant to be tongue in cheek and things got out of hand. Just look away.

Do you know of a faster way to heat food that we don't know about?

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe he only eats cold food

You know how food gets hot at restaurants? Turns out you can do that at home.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It has to be faster because you're so busy, but you have time to stand up for the honor of microwaves on Lemmy. Cool premise, but I'll pass.

You know that not having time doesn't mean there's no way to make time? It means there's other things you would prefer to spend that time on. You have a finite amount of time per day. If I spend more of it heating food, that's less time I can spend here, and I gain nothing in return, so why would I do it?

Just let it sit for a little while until the hot parts warm the cold parts.
