The microwave that came with my house is the first time I’ve ever had a microwave that had perfectly working popcorn setting. It has never burnt a bag of microwave popcorn.

    The only preset button I use is the +30Seconds button, the rest are useless to me.

      You don’t use the baby or snake presets?

        Babies get roasted in the oven so they get crispy. And I am allergic to snakes, plus it’s not a full meal anyhow.

          Ah. Sometimes when I’m lazy, I’ll use the baby one, but you’re right. Roasting in the oven is far superior.

      To make popcorn I push the 30 button 3 times, done.

      Try the numbers if you have them. I recently discovered that hitting 2 instantly starts 2 minutes then +30 saves me having to press +30 five times for the equivalent.

      I was starting to worry about how much abuse my +30 button could take.

        My last microwave was like that. However my current one has low contrast labels on the button pad, so it’s too much work to find where to press. However +30 is conveniently in the bottom right corner

        I do use the auto-defrost a lot, which is annoying to find, but in that case I need to press multiple buttons so I need to get extra close anyway

          4 times extra but five times total to reach the equivalent.

          Edit: just to be extra clear in the comment I’d be getting 2:30 with just one press of the +30 button
