I wish they had some kind of iron chef for microwaves.
Right? Just throw them into some random person’s apartment with whatever ingredients they’ve got on hand.
CHEF MIKE!
I just use the same power setting for everything. It’s not like my shitty microwave is consistent enough for it to matter.
I have never learned how to change the microwave power setting, and now I am too afraid to try it
I set the power to 50% and then double the cooking time. Takes longer but everything turns out better.
I put it on full power until part of it starts boiling, then reduce power to low until it’s heated through.
I do the same thing!
Usually there’s a button right next to the numbers or start button that’s for cook power.
It’s only a one time thing, it doesn’t save either.
It just turns off the element that emits the waves for a percentage of the time so the heat has a chance to spread out more evenly. My problem is that I skim the instructions for the time, miss that it says medium power, and burn my item to a crisp on accident.
I think the active component in a Microwave Oven is called the Magnetron, not the element. Both are usually turned on and off for partial power though.
I always microwave on low power with longer cook time. Prevents cold spots and burnt spots
Mine you need to press tge power settings until the desired power (start in 10 and go down up to 1), then press the time as usual and start.
