If you time it right, you can stop my microwave on 0. I also like to avoid making noise if I can. So every time I microwave anything it’s a little minigame for me.

Our microwave [Electrolux, in case anyone wants to dig] doesn't beep until like 5 seconds after finishing, it's just silent. I think that's a pretty good feature.

Never knew how much I needed this, holy shit. Mine beeps when it finishes but also beeps again if I haven't opened the door in, idk, some amount of time. Which I get why it's a gesture and sometimes I actually do find it useful but often I'm like "I KNOW, GIMME A MINUTE"

Also relevant user name. 👌

With two kids, I feel that. 😆 "LET ME WIPE THIS SHITTY TODDLER BOTTOM FIRST, ALRIGHT?!"

My parents have one of these, and it drives me nuts when I visit. I understand that feature on something like an oven where it’s still cooking. But the microwave stopped. Nothing’s going to burn. So stop rushing me!

Wow. That’s a great feature. I need to look out for it next time. Thank you

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

No problem, hope you find it. 😊👍 For reference, it's an Electrolux one.
