      No, if you’re using high power for anything longer than like 20 seconds to nuke a coffee or something, you’re microwaving wrong.

      Most things are 👌 3:00 @ Power Level 6 (60% on, 40% off)

        Yup, totally agree. Changed my microwaving habits a few years back. 3 minutes at about 600 watts works like a charm for just about everything. Add a minute or so if you’re heating soup or something else with a lot of mass/water.

        I always did 2 minutes at maximum power previously and it was always like the surface of the sun on the outside and cold on the inside.

      microwave “power” changes are only on and off in intervals.

      Not if you use an inverter microwave.
