    Is the response in the post to this really that uncommon? I do this especially for the air fryer, but to a lesser extent in all cooking. Can you guys not tell when it’s done by smell?

      Microwaves cook very quickly unlike you know normal ovens and don’t within the scope of normal cooking time output much air to carry the smell to allow you to decide when they are done. By the time you smell it you have nuked it way way too long.

      Also most microwaves make it extremely easy to put things in for small increments for instance hitting 1 - 6 on mine’s keypad and nothing else immediately starts it for 1 - 6 minutes and also has a dedicated 30 seconds button. So it is incredibly easy to set it for a known small length of time allowing you to do other things whilst it cooks rather than standing by the fuckin door waiting to stop it. If you forget you may either ruin your food, destroy your microwave, or start a fire.

      There are basically massive downsides to what you are suggesting and no upsides. It is just so unfathomably stupid that were this post to be associated with your real identity it is the only thing the entire world would associate with your name.

        Seems more like a skill issue? I don’t have the brain of a goldfish, so I don’t have to choose between watching food heat up or having to reset the thing every 30 sec.

        Lol, seems as if I committed a hate crime against your culture…

        If you calm yourself down just a little bit and actually focus on utilizing your limited reading comprehension skills, you will notice I specified the air fryer.

        I have a microwave, but it is very rarely utilized. Even so, it’s not that hard to use if you’re not an idiot.

            By asking if it’s really that big of a deal? I didn’t think so many people struggled with something as basic as using a microwave without having to check it every 30 sec.

            I also specified that I mainly used the same routine for the air fryer.

            Again, this seems like a skill issue.

                  This implies you are too stupid or incompetent to simply set the correct time on the microwave. It’s not really that hard to figure out how much time to set and it literally takes 1-2 presses to set any time between 30 seconds and 6 minutes. Many also have a speed dial setting to pre-program particular time/power settings 2 presses to actuate eg memory -> number.

                  You can set it to 99.99 and close and open it and you will get hot food in the same fashion as you could get drunk by pouring jim beam up your ass. You do you I guess. Excuse me whilst I make a proper cocktail like a fuckin adult human being with a functioning brain.

                    Or, I could just press start and pull it out when it’s done.

                    you could get drunk by pouring jim beam up your ass.

                    Is this the one thing you have expertise in?

                    Lol, I’ve never seen someone get this upset by the way someone else uses a fucking microwave. Do you have a weird autism obsession about shitty food or something? Is cooking in a microwave the equivalent of learning how to perfectly roast a duck confit? Are you the trailer trash version of Gordon Ramsey?
