Ran across this video some time ago. Good (while cheeky) breakdown on some microwaving basics.
Always surprised how many people evidently don’t know how to use a microwave. They are, like many things, useful if you use them right.
I haven’t had one in 4 years. The only thing I’d use it for at this point is to reheat coffee… Instead I just make a fresh cup now.
I do miss having a dishwasher though. Might get a little one.
Learning how to use the “power level” feature of a microwave is actually helpful here.
So like with an range oven I don’t try to bake banana bread at 550 degrees F.
So dump the power level down some and divide the task into two or three heatings and then stir in between.
If the food is firm enough to stay in place, move it to the edges ie. make a bowl made of the food in your bowl.
Offset the bowl from centre.
