    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.

      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

          Also +30 seconds 3 times gets exactly 90 seconds

          It didn’t have that button then

          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.
