When putting in 1:30 on the microwave, do you type 130 or 90?

Our microwave has a dial and I hate it.

My condolences, but also... I feel like the fact it's still your microwave is on you.

My wife and I did a kitchen reno a few years ago. We had 2 regrets when it was over. The first was the under cab lazy Susan. It works differently than our old one did and it's low key always a pain. The other? A microwave with a dial. I want to beat up the engineer that came up w/ that idea.

Pressing "1" sets a minute timer and starts. Then I press +30.

Microwave ramen takes about 3:30 in ours to cook properly. My wife just hits 3 three times. It definitely doesn't mess with my brain when she does this.

Interestingly my microwave has a one minute button instead of a 30 second. I wish it was 30 seconds.

On my microwave, if I put the time in and start it, hitting the start button again will add 30 seconds.

Same number of button presses as 90 + start. But legit answer all the same.

As you can probably guess, I think far too much on the minimum number of button presses. I’m a 90 start assuming the microwave is smart enough for it. If it’s not, I’m the same as Nick
