I’ve replaced my ice cream with fruit popsicles (the kind with blended up fruit bits, not just a bit of juice), I figure even if it’s just as bad for me it’s at least got marginally more fiber.
As neglected as the 7 button on a microwave

I find frozen grapes are similarly satisfying

Frozen blueberries are heavenly. If you rinse them with water and let them sit a few minutes, they sometimes develop a thin icy shell. Immaculate.

Dang. I love veggies. Why wouldn’t you use the 7 button though? I don’t get that part. You don’t put on random times like 17 seconds? Or 70% power?

Maybe someone is stabbing a potato with a fork and putting it in there fore 7 minutes. Not sure.

I guess OP’s microwave is like mine. Buttons 1 through 6 set the timer by minutes. The seven button does not. Don’t know why they made it like that but pushing 6 gets you six minutes of cook time but 7 just beeps unless you hit the power, timer or defrost button. Of course 8 and 9 don’t do anything either. I never use the timer button. If the time calls for anything over 6 minutes I hit the 6 button then the 30sec button until I get to the time I need.

I have peameal bacon in my freezer.

Seeing your reply in my inbox reminded me that I got up to get some ice-cream, but forgot again en route to the freezer. On the bright side, it means I still have ice-cream in my freezer

The +30 seconds button that auto starts my microwave gets used probably 10x as much as the others.

The 7 button? Why the 7 button? I push mine regularly

You people have number buttons? I just have buttons for some Watt modes, start, stop and a wheel to adjust the time

2 dial supremacy, effect and time is all you need.

Yeah man, most microwaves I’ve seen lately have a “popcorn” button too. Mine has a total of 28 buttons but it’s also a convection oven and air fryer.

For what?

Setting it to 70% power

Not parent, but when a minute isn’t quite enough, 77 seconds might do the trick. Multiples of eleven are quick to enter, and with a simple number with no “minute” button, 66s is easier than 1:00.
