Although come to think of it, I’m still not sure the timing is the same. When you run at “low” power, is it cycles of like 1-5 seconds, or more like 15-60?
I mean most microwaves I use have a scale of 1-10 for power that changes how long it pulses for. For heating up leftovers with different densities it can be really handy, or anything that’s like multiple different types of food. Full plates of thanksgiving leftovers or Chinese food come to mind. Instead of ending up with some things being molten and some being cold in the center, chuck that baby on for 60-70% power and it really helps to distribute the heat more evenly.
Yeah, microwave power settings are like the dial on the stove top. People don’t try to cook most things on the stove with the dial maxed out and they shouldn’t use full power on the microwave most of the time for the same reason.
Well TIL.
I’ve been lied to all my life!
