Microwave Ovens

[Hopkirk]

Does anyone actually use all the settings and buttons on a microwave oven?

They seem to have things for dialling in weights, type of food, power settings and other details.

I just select an amount of seconds or minutes and press Go.

I think you would need training by Nasa to use one the way it is intended.

I have a very basic microwave so it doesn't have many options.

I use some but not all. My last microwave which was also a grill had chip and pizza settings which were very useful.

I only use mine for jacket potatoes , a jacket potatoe zapper would be good actually

Mine has many settings. I only use the timer ie 30 secs 60 secs etc. A bit of a waste really.

Not only do I not use all the buttons and facilities on my Microwave, I don't use all the programs on my washing machine either !

I only use one programme on my washing machine too, it is the one with the symbol like a pregnant dolphin, no idea why what or how but it works

I was never into using microwave ovens until the last few years. I never knew a microwave could be used for cooking just about anything.

Unlike a gay gentleman, a microwave oven doesn't brown your meat :-)

I've burn food, and popcorn in the microwave.

Leave a spoon in the dish you are microwaving - better then most television programmes.
