I find it interesting it's time per gram. Does it have a scale inside? Combined with the easy-to-understand knobs, this does sound much better.

- mrob 9y agoIt's not "per gram", it's an dual function dial, used for both time and weight. If the lower dial is switched to defrost mode (2nd position) then the upper dial is switched to weight input. There is no scale inside.
- ThePadawan 9y agoThe label means "time or grams", where "grams" only applies for defrosting. Defrosting x grams typically takes y seconds, which is just a table lookup. As defrosting most typically involves leftovers (rather than pre-packaged meals or ingredients), you will probably only know their weight, not how long it will take to defrost off the top of your head.
- panic 9y agoI think a small improvement to the design would be to use words (COOK TIME / DEFROST GRAMS), with the "DEFROST GRAMS" text colored to match the defrost option on the bottom (which should also use the word, "DEFROST"). This would let you figure out what the dial does without having to think as much about it. You could also change the screen backlight color in DEFROST mode to reinforce the mode change.

How would one know that? Do people routinely put leftovers on a scale before putting them into a microwave?
