I curse whoever invented this piece of shit object, I genuinely hope they are burning in the deepest pits of hell. I hate the way it looks, the way it sounds, the way it sits there in my kitchen taking up space, the way I got memed into buying this piece of shit thing and wasting more than 100 bucks on it, its just sitting there taunting me.

EVERY SINGLE TIME you use this thing its the EXACT same HORRIBLE experience

At this point why not just use the oven?
>B-B-B-BUT IT COSTS LIKE 2 CENTS MORE ON YOUR BILL!!!
who fucking cares man, its a million times more consistent and takes about the same amount of time, ,microwaves are the bane of my existence.

toaster ovens mog the shit out of microwaves, ovens, air fryers.

>>21424708 (OP)
Nigga just lower the power setting and increase the time you dumb fuck

>>21424708 (OP)
DAMN BLOODY BITCH!

>>21424723
YOU DONT THINK IVE FUCKING TRIED THAT, IT DOES NOTHINGGGGGGGGGG IT JUST MAKES IT TAKE LONGER AND DOES JACK SHIT WHEN IT COMES TO BALANCING IT

Stop eating frozen food then.

Real trick is to put food in it off-center, and move it to the other side halfway through.

>put frozen food in
fucking retard

Extreme skill issue. You must have a handler.

>>21424708 (OP)
I have a bit of an irrational dislike of the microwave myself and go weeks between using it sometimes. The only time I throw something in there is those frozen vegetables pouches, my logic being that even nuked veggies are better than no veggies at all

>>21424872
It tells me to do it on the packages though

>always dirty
>that one crumb that’s cooked into the side that can’t be removed without nuclear fission

>>21424982
>>always dirty
Never had to clean mine. It's more than 3 years old and it is still in pristine condition

My mother and I haven't used our microwave in a very long time. If it weren't for my father and his penchant for ready-made frozen slop, we would have likely got rid of our microwave a long time ago. For any one who has a basic knowledge of how to cook, the microwave is completely superfluous and daresay a waste of space and money.

Dont just set it on the highest setting retard
Also, stop trying to cook xbox hueg meals in it

OP you gotta thaw it for 2 hours at least.

LMAO

Microwaves heat up water particles. It's only useful for things you would boil.

>>21424708 (OP)
i put in some leftover chips from a takeaway into mine and it turned them into disgusting, crumbly , chalky batons

microwaves are consistently shown to be one of the healthiest and least destructive cooking methods

>>21425089
Well, you are a faggot. Even a skilled cook can see the benefit of a device that can bring things to temp as fast as possible.

>>21424708 (OP)
Fucking retard who can't into microwave settings. Learn how to control the power settings you 'tard. They even make presets for spergs like yourself.

>>21424965
How the fuck do you mess up microwave instructions on goyslop? It's literally designed for full power nuke and gives you the time needed. Are you skipping stirring requirements?

>>21424982
Cover your fucking food. They make microwave plate covers, get one and use it. It's easy to clean that shit, just steam some water from a container and wipe all the crap away.

>>21425089
It's a reheating wizard when you aren't a sperg. No fucking way am I firing up the stove to reheat shit.

>>21425330
Look, a tard who doesn't know there is a defrost setting on the microwave.

>>21424708 (OP)
imagine being so dumb, so retarded, so incredibly inept a common household appliance sends you in to apoplectic rage...

>>21425475
Point taken, but that is not a necessity for me, let alone most people. If time is such a factor, perhaps microwaves should be reserved for professional kitchens that have severe time constraints, and that the average person does not necessarily need on. The insult was not necessary.

>>21425477
I would suggest to make portions adequate for that meal so that you do not have such leftovers. Concerning reheating (not that it should be necessary to begin with), that is a patience issue, and if you lack it, that is your problem and not a reasonable justification for owning a microwave.

>>21426137
>on

The real problem with microwaves is that you need moisture in the thing you're heating for it to be effective at warming it evenly, and unfortunately I haven't found any water permeable onaholes to work around this

>>21426371
Put a wet paper towel inside it.

>>21424708 (OP)
>op does not have or does not know how to use corningware with glass pyrex lids

Microwave is essential during heat waves.

>>21426373
Nice, it's this kind of thinking that allowed us to fake landing on the moon

I mainly use it to give something a quick burst like coffee that's gone cold.

>>21426371
bro that question had already been answered by /ona/ : the butt box
buy a cooler, some precise heater thingy, a net with sucions cups at the ends

Fill the cooler with water. Warm the water at not-burning-yourself fahrenheit, place the ona inside the net and stick the sucion cups to the bottom of the cooler
I demand trials and errors, I'll try to find butt-box anon's explanation image

>>21426373
>>21426415
don't use a paper towel you retard, it will be difficult to remove without tearing it appart

use a normal cloth towel

Listen you dense cunt, the point of a microwave is that a faster. No one in the history of ever has said ‘you should use a microwave because it’s cheaper.’ What planet do you fuckin live on? Stupiter?

>>21427443

LET THE FOOD THAW FIRST YOU SPERG

>>21424708 (OP)
Did it come with instructions?
If yes, read the instructions.
If no, go on the manufacturer's website and read the instructions.
Or go on the internet and act like someone with an IQ of 45.

Same here OP. I got rid of my microwave about a decade ago and never looked back. You literally DO NOT need one.
I will say though there are proper ways to heat up certain foods efficiently, plus quickly...but eh... it alway tastes weird.
my basic understanding of a microwave is...it basically just micro boils all the water in your food to heat it up.
I used to think it was good for left overs but its so much better to just throw your left overs in a oven or pot/pan on the stove top.

>>21427479
It's interesting how despite the name, nobody seems to understand the black magic a microwave uses to heat up water.
I guess it is true that when technology is sufficiently advanced, it looks like magic to primitive savages.

>>21427488
Most everyone understand that it’s microwaves that are causing the food to heat up, but your lucky to find someone who doesn’t think it’s some sort of cancer causing nuclear energy. Very few people have even a passing understanding that microwaves heat things by atomically jiggling them.

>>21427535
There is a plutonium-241 pellet in my microwave, though... they said I shouldn't ever need to replace it, though.

>>21427535
exactly.

>>21427575
"atomically jiggling them" forgot to add that my bad.

>>21425470
how many studies on microwaved food healthiness are you reading

>>21425089
yea you can suck a dick, its a massive pain in the ass warm shit up in a pan
>I would suggest to make portions adequate
>just dont make extra food so you have to make a whole new meal all over again when you are hungry
eat shit faggot

>>21426137
>a device that reduces dishes that you have to clean and that allows you warm up food faster is not a reasonable justification
>patience issue

do you not own a dishwasher or washing machine?

>>21427443
quality over quantity retard, ever heard of that concept? what does it matter if i can warm up 2-3 pieces of food with a shitty outcome when I can just fit 3 pieces of said food inside of the oven (its much larger) and take a minute or 2 extra and it comes out perfectly

>>21424748
you need an inverter microwave. traditionally made by panasonic. they actually adjust the temperature rather than just turning on and off.

>>21424965
You're probably skipping the part where you should stir, or let rest inside the microwave oven for a minute or so to let the temp even out

>>21424708 (OP)
>way it sits there in my kitchen taking up space
ahh, low end model that was cheap. I see now.

The built-ins, like the kind you get over the range are larger, have effective defrost settings, and tend to cook evenly based on higher wattage and rotating trays. It sounds to me that you don't understand how to microwave at 50% power, stir items, or have resting time. Keep trying or replace the crappy version you bought.

I use my microwave daily, just to rewarm an already prepared mug of coffee that had fcooled off, or to defrost meat to make for dinner or to do a steam-in-bag vegetable side, or cook some sweet or baked potatoes, it varies. I had to go 4 days without a microwave at my lake house, til my appliances-repair appointment to replace it, and I truly realized how much I relied upon it. There are some items that are real convenience foods that I would never heat an oven to do, like a marie callendars pot pie (5 mins vs 60 in the oven). Breakfast items would need to be fast, too, and usually come out crisp.

P.S. There are youtube videos that instruct you how to disable the BEEP repeating annoyance.

>>21424708 (OP)
I have recently destroyed my microwave due to trying to boil 3 eggs. They literally exploded (alongside with the microwave, dying). I can never get the temperature right, its either food coming out cold while the plate is hot to the touch, or, eggs boiling and exploding in less than 3 minutes. The oven options is so weak, it takes 15 minutes to de-thaw a frozen pizza. I didnt buy this unit btw, just got it as a present. Call me retarded but I just hated it and Im glad that its finally dead

>>21424708 (OP)
>put frozen food in
stopped reading there.

>>21428435
Okay? Literally nothing to do with my post pointing out the no one is telling people to use a microwave ‘because it costs less.’ Take your meds schizo.

>>21428634
>Okay? Literally nothing to do with my post pointing out the no one is telling people to use a microwave ‘because it costs less.’ Take your meds schizo.
Not him, but one of the uses of a microwave is to avoid the expense of heating up your whole house and oven to run a small lightbulb amount of energy in a microwave for a few minutes instead.

I'm sorry, OP, but you need to read the back of the box and know how to use the percent setting, not just cook time. 30% power for defrosting, and 50% power for thick items, before finishing up on 100% for a couple of minutes. Operator failure, in other words. Stop being a newb!
As far as a plate being too hot...uhh, use a pot holder, or a different plate or mug that isn't ceramic or porcelain.

>doesn't know how to use a microwave
>runs crying to /ck/ hoping to get sympathy

>>21428621
Kek, I got really good at making hardboiled eggs with my last microwave, but one night I accidentally forgot to enter the power level and all 4 eggs exploded.
Should have taken some pictures and made a thread; blew the door open and sprayed eggs and water all over the kitchen, even the ceiling.
Took about an hour for me to clean it up and I was still finding eggshells in weird places for a few days; somehow some of it got behind the microwave, like it bounced off the wall and came back.

>>21429179
same anon, same. The eggsplosion still lingers across the room, and on my previously beautiful, yet now tainted walls. I just hate the piece of shit, for not being intuitive, for not being translucent so I can see whats going on with the food, for taking a so much of space. I just couldnt bring myself to trash a fully working home appliance, now I can do so with clear conscience.

>>21429186
I took out the big ring magnets before scrapping it.
