Microwave times

[Jakehinojo]

I like using the microwave, but to warm up the food, animal, kids, or whatever it is you put in there, you have to put in a time. Do you always have a certain time you put stuff in for? Like, for something that needs a little warming up, I put it in for 33 seconds, and take it out anytime before it ends, and if it needs more than that, I put it in for 3:33 minutes, and take it out anytime before that ends, maybe one minute or two minutes later. I always use the number 3 for microwave times. What do you do?

if im heating something small, then 30 seconds and I wait till the beep before I take out my food. If im heating something like rice or pasta, then a minute. If im heating some big ass food then 2 minutes. I dont like my food to be hot. I like it warm.

I only use 3 minutes for my cup of noodles, and everything else two minutes on da microwave.

[MushookieMan]

I always press the 'reheat' button or the two minute button, unless the thing has instructions.

I think you might have ocd. 2 minutes works for almost anything. I usually put a hot pocket in or a chicken patty and leave it in the mic for about 10 minutes and come back when I hit a commercial or a good stopping point.

30 sec for something small.
about 2 or 3 minutes for a meal, I don't care sometimes, just as long as it isn't too cold.

I only use the microwave to heat up water or specific kinds of left-overs. Some foods are disgusting when cooked in there.

Sadly, I prefer my food not to be nuked and radiated. Unless its pizza from dominoes for some reason. Then I dont really care, strangely enough.

... so u use an oven to heat rice, noodles?

[Trambamboline]

Awww, I really thought this was going to be a thread about microwaving newspapers for some reason.

[BizzarroPMP]

Certain times for certain things.

Hot dog - 35sec

Pizza Rolls - I do an equation for exactly how many I put in, flip them half way through

I used to always hit the one minute button. Now we have a piece of shit where not only do you have to type out the number but it takes a long ass time to heat thinks up. God I miss auto times.
