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.

brb@sh.itjust.works 14 hours agoI’ve never seen a microwave where you set the power as percentage, it’s always watts. Usually from around 150W to 950W

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%.

Fascinating. What do you do when some microwave meal gives instructions like “3min at 750W”? Or does it say some percentage instead of watts and you just do the math? If so, how do you handle microwaves with different wattages?

We usually get vague bullshit like “3 mins on HIGH*” followed by a disclaimer “for 1200w microwave, cooking times may vary” or some such thing.
