      I’ve replaced my ice cream with fruit popsicles (the kind with blended up fruit bits, not just a bit of juice), I figure even if it’s just as bad for me it’s at least got marginally more fiber.

            Not parent, but when a minute isn't quite enough, 77 seconds might do the trick. Multiples of eleven are quick to enter, and with a simple nuker with no "minute" button, 66s is easier than 1:00.

                  You know how when you microwave a hot pocket, burrito, etc. and the outside is lava but the center is still cold or even frozen? Well, microwaves have a power setting. You can set the power generally from 10% - 100%, usually in increments of 10. You can set the power to a lower percentage and give it additional time such that it will cook slower and heat more evenly.

                      Your not actually lowering the power, it's just lowering the duty time.

                      70% means that it runs only 70% of the time.

                      Microwaves are either on or off. There is no in-between.

                      Its the same as running something for 30 seconds letting it sit for 20 then running it for another 10.

                      It's also a large reason frozen dinners have you stir them.

                        I've never seen a microwave where you set the power as percentage, it's always watts. Usually from around 150W to 950W

                          Correct, but I think most people don't think about that.

                            That sounds nice but from my experience most people's eyes glaze over when I start talking about Watts. It seems to confuse most people unfortunately.

                                Every single microwave I've ever seen set it either as a percentage or a...perdecage? 1-10. Like I don't think I can set my current microwave to 73% power; I get 70% or 80%.

                                  Dang. I love veggies. Why wouldn’t you use the 7 button though? I don’t get that part. You don’t put on random times like 17 seconds? Or 70% power?

                                        There are inverter microwaves that can actually vary the output power of the magnetron, but I know Panasonic had a patent on it for a while.

                                          Yeah man, most microwaves I've seen lately have a "popcorn" button too. Mine has a total of 28 buttons but it's also a convection oven and air fryer.
