Do you use the popcorn button? (self.asklemmy)

The microwave that came with my house is the first time I’ve ever had a microwave that had perfectly working popcorn setting. It has never burnt a bag of microwave popcorn.

The only preset button I use is the +30Seconds button, the rest are useless to me.

You don't use the baby or snake presets?

Try the numbers if you have them. I recently discovered that hitting 2 instantly starts 2 minutes then +30 saves me having to press +30 five times for the equivalent.

I was starting to worry about how much abuse my +30 button could take.

[–] leonine 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

4 times.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

4 times extra but five times total to reach the equivalent.

Edit: just to be extra clear in the comment I'd be getting 2:30 with just one press of the +30 button

To make popcorn I push the 30 button 3 times, done.
