My microwave use hack isn't turntable or cup position related. It's that I round to the least number of unique buttons to press and still get near the needed cook time. For example, 33 sec for half a minute, not 30 sec. 99s for a minute and a half. Over the years I must have saved nearly as much time as it's taken me to make this post.
- glanch 14y agoI do this too and I feel like such a badass doing it. Especially when other people see it. "See that guy over there? He doesn't fuck with the zero button on his microwave. He's got no time for that."
- BenoitEssiambre 14y agoI do this _and_ the handle synchronization thing (with some angle tolerance to get the single button time). This discussion is making me feel a bit OCD.
- lifeformed 14y agoSame here, I always do 60 instead of 1:00 or 90 instead of 1:30 to save an extra button press.
- trafficlight 14y agoMost microwaves let you keep pushing the start button to add 30 seconds to the timer.
