I’ve absolutely done it before because I’m weird. Entering 1:90 (on my Kenmore microwave) ticks down 1:89… 1:88… etc. until it hits 1:00 at which point it will continue as normal to 0:59.
1:60 behaves similarly.
I have a feeling the “add 30 seconds” button will correct it to proper time format, but I’ll test it for science.
My microwave won’t start with just the add 30 seconds button. Others that I’ve used work that way, but not this one. So 9-9-start would work for me, while add 30 3 times would not.
What happens when you type “1-6-0” on the time?
It probably becomes 1m 60s. I’ve had microwaves do it both ways, either having it only be in seconds or having seconds for two digits.
Edit: I’m dumb and very tired from Holidays, I’m leaving this up anyways though.

A trick I learned from my dad was to do a quick “9-9-start” to get about a minute and a half
“9 0 start” is the same number of buttons. Also +30 seconds 3 times gets exactly 90 seconds. Your dad was trolling
Yeah but you gotta move your finger from the 9 to the 0, which is slower
It didn’t have that button then
What did he do with all of the time he saved?
Absolutely nothing. We both got the ADHD bad.
If he’s anything like me, that time would be spent on ranting about microwave ovens.

I dunno. I’ve never put in a time on my microwave - i just use the add button. Does it give you a minute and 60 seconds. Thats weird.
I have an analog microwave from 2007. It just has a mechanical timer
