Some commercial microwaves have a single knob you spin to set a time and you can open the door, or spin it back to stop it. This is how the first microwave I used worked, back around 1980.
I was visiting the last GF I had, about eight years go. First time in her house. She’s in the bedroom, and I go out to the kitchen to heat something up. She hears me pushing the buttons, BEEP, BEEP, and comes running. She told me I had to set a time that ended in 55 or 99. I asked her why, and she just said “my house…”.
I wish I could do this, but my microwave resets to zero after about 3 minutes of being left with any residual time.
I’m also a 2:22, 55, 77, 99, etc. user.
You’d think by now someone would have made a microwave that’s like 2€ cheaper and has a single on/off button.

I would totally buy one.

It probably had that secret exploding feature if you didn’t.
