I have an idea for that actually... Once an internal timer counts down to (30seconds multiplied by the number of times you pressed the +30 button), the actuator for the cancel button activates on its own. That or have it activate the cancel button like 1 or 2 or 5 minutes after that internal timer counts down, if you have a tendency to open the door early just to check and restart
I used to think like this and just mash the 30s button but I prefer a more nuanced approach using the timer dial. I know some things need 2.40 or 2.50, not 2.30 or 3mins. Also good for melting butter and heating things for kids, where you only need 10 or 15 seconds, and hitting 30s and forgetting to stop it would ruin it. The bigger microwave sin is mechanical microwave timer dials that go up to 60 mins, with all time proportionally spaced, which means you can't get any time under 3 mins accurately.

I do, but mostly because microwave keypads are too complicated. There are some microwaves where I couldn't figure out how to just type in a specific time. Pushing any number started some presets, and there wasn't any "time cook" button or anything. Screw all of the preset garbage and all the fancy functionalities that nobody uses. Just give me a number pad where I can type in the cook time. Until then, I'm just mashing the +30 button. Also, microwave buttons are hot garbage. They have almost no tactile sensation and unless you're really deliberate a lot of times they won't register a press when you're trying to type numbers quickly. Not a problem if I just push the +30 button repeatedly.
What I do is if I need the food heated for 2 minutes or less, I just hit +30, but if I need to go higher I type it in. I base it off the number of button presses.
At work we have an old microwave with just two knobs. One sets the power and the other is a mechanical timer. With one motion you set the time and start.

If you're only using one or two buttons on your microwave you're seriously missing out. That's the equivalent of buying a $5000 gaming PC to just play retro games or an oven to only ever cook at 350F. Just adjusting the power level on your microwave let's you do *way* more with it like steaming or pre-cooking vegetables like potatoes, carrots, or daikon to be fried.
@@jamietasevski9718 It's a cooking tool. You don't "microwave whole meals," you use it as a step. Here's an example: let's say I want to cook thick steaks of daikon radish. I *could* bring a gallon of water with konbu to a boil, wait an hour, then pan fry them afterwards in oil *or* I can microwave them at 600 watts for 10 minutes in a bowl with far less water before frying them in oil. The microwave in this scenario is far faster and uses far less water and power to heat the same food in the same way.
If you’re only using the :30 second start button, you’re definitely using it wrong. Most microwaves have a Reheat button. That should be the main button to heat up foods because it heats your food from the inside out, which heats food perfectly. As opposed to the :30 second button, which heats it from the outside in. Which cause it to heat whatever is in there unevenly. Try it out
I agree that full power is not the best choice for everything ... but your concept of heating from the "inside-out" vs "outside-in" is just plain wrong. Microwaves work by making the water molecules in the food vibrate ... which causes friction ... which causes heat. The full power setting obviously runs the microwaves 100% of the time. Lower settings simply cycle the microwaves on/off at various intervals so things don't heat up too quickly. It has nothing to do with inside out vs outside in.
@@sedluhs can’t be wrong if that’s how it works. Maybe your microwave is broken. I’ve done it this way for the last 25 years of my life. Maybe check your facts. Really simple to test this. Put something in your microwave and hit the reheat button. Stop it after 20 seconds and take a bite out of whatever you’re heating up. You’ll notice the outside is still cold. Let me know if you have any questions
I always have problems with this type of microwaves. I don't know why, but it sticks in the last seconds and doesn't end the heating. And then I am running to my evaporated plasma soup.
Ah yes. Creating a solution for a problem nobody has. My microwave has 6 buttons, a knob for setting the time, and a start and stop button. It's perfectly fine.
Normally to cook something for 2 minutes and 30 seconds you'd need to do four button presses, but with this amazing invention you can now do it in just five!
I appreciate the touch of having an unnecessarily complex design that activates a piston instead of just having a mechanical switch or even just a cover for all other buttons. Very much on brand.

You can just buy a simpler microwave, you don’t have to get one with all those buttons. Mine just two knobs, one for time and one for power.
I prefer those, but I never see then anywhere anymore.
@@danieldaniels7571 i don't recall ever having seen a microwave with numberpads, perhaps it's an american thing, cause when i look for a microwave online in dutch the once that do have various buttons they are for different modes or something, also on dutch amazon it seems to be the same, but when i look on american amazon almost all of them seem to have numberpads.
@@danieldaniels7571 Samsung makes those, time knob is like volume knob on radios, it's genius.
dude its just a basic microwave. the person who made the microwave made the simple version, @tuzikadesa8982
I have a commercial microwave that just has one dial for time and a button for power. Works great
I used to have a microwave that, instead of buttons, it a dial that increased the time by increments of 10.
10 meters to be exact
Our microwave has both. But increments of 5 not 10.
It's like if Lego designed a microwave 😂
If you're only using one or two buttons on your microwave you're seriously missing out. That's the equivalent of buying a $5000 gaming PC to just play retro games or an oven to only ever cook at 350F.
Just adjusting the power level on your microwave let's you do *way* more with it like steaming or pre-cooking vegetables like potatoes, carrots, or daikon to be fried.
Microwaving carrots? Jesus christ
If you’re cooking full meals in a microwave, then you have bigger issues 😂
@@jamietasevski9718 It's a cooking tool. You don't "microwave whole meals," you use it as a step.
Here's an example: let's say I want to cook thick steaks of daikon radish. I *could* bring a gallon of water with konbu to a boil, wait an hour, then pan fry them afterwards in oil *or* I can microwave them at 600 watts for 10 minutes in a bowl with far less water before frying them in oil.
The microwave in this scenario is far faster and uses far less water and power to heat the same food in the same way.
@@BryceDixonDevCulinary genius.
Ikr! I use the other buttons because the recommended preset cooking buttons are really handy!
Nah they need to make the sharp carousel multiple choice again in the us and they need to introduce it to Europe
My favorite microwave had all the useless fancy buttons inside the door. The only buttons on the outside were 30 sec and stop. I loved it.
Two buttons is still too confusing. My microwave just has one knob and you turn it on by twisting it.
Sounds like some women I've dated 😅
@@ObsidianGhost08 Dude, I think you have been dating a Bop-It
It's only 1 button. The bottom blue knob is just the housing for the solenoid
The blue part is just the motor that pushes the 30 sec
is your microwave from 1976 lol
i think we can all agree that this invention is the least unessasary in the context of a microwave
its a joke. he does this a lot
The microwaves at Panera bread are the best. It’s just a single dial
If you’re only using the :30 second start button, you’re definitely using it wrong. Most microwaves have a Reheat button. That should be the main button to heat up foods because it heats your food from the inside out, which heats food perfectly. As opposed to the :30 second button, which heats it from the outside in. Which cause it to heat whatever is in there unevenly. Try it out
I agree that full power is not the best choice for everything ... but your concept of heating from the "inside-out" vs "outside-in" is just plain wrong.
Microwaves work by making the water molecules in the food vibrate ... which causes friction ... which causes heat. The full power setting obviously runs the microwaves 100% of the time. Lower settings simply cycle the microwaves on/off at various intervals so things don't heat up too quickly. It has nothing to do with inside out vs outside in.
@@sedluhs can’t be wrong if that’s how it works. Maybe your microwave is broken. I’ve done it this way for the last 25 years of my life. Maybe check your facts. Really simple to test this. Put something in your microwave and hit the reheat button. Stop it after 20 seconds and take a bite out of whatever you’re heating up. You’ll notice the outside is still cold. Let me know if you have any questions
i have a cheap microwave it haves only 2 wheel one for power in watts and one with minutes simple but good
I always have problems with this type of microwaves. I don't know why, but it sticks in the last seconds and doesn't end the heating. And then I am running to my evaporated plasma soup.
What. I've always thought a two dial microwave would be peak design but I didn't know it existed. What is the make and model?
@@AnomalousX12 its almost all the really cheap pretty much no name brand microwaves
@@AnomalousX12 is a HIGH ONE MWO 20 MX63-L W 902C
unfortunately it probably isn't one of those rare microwaves that actually changes the wattage instead of pulsing, is it...
Ah yes. Creating a solution for a problem nobody has.
My microwave has 6 buttons, a knob for setting the time, and a start and stop button. It's perfectly fine.
"Now, heat into the microwave for 2 minutes and *25* seconds."
Wife: "That's nice honey, now take it off."
Based on the intro, I thought you were going to help us understand all of the other microwave buttons
I just put in the time i need, who uses the plus 30 button, its so imprecise
A dial timer is the way to go
"I thought microwaves had too many buttons, so I added more." Lol
bro being your friend irl would cure my depression 😂
Popcorn button: what am i, *A ROACH*
One too many buttons... Simplify it, and you'll go from millionaire to billionaire. 😆
Dude has a Minecraft kitchen.
me when the clocks go back:
I've seen microwaves that only have two knobs, one for power or modes and the other time.
That's peak design.
"What is my purpose?"
"You press another button"
"$#!+"
"TOO MANY BUTTONS!"

Ah yes... The microwave skimmer...
The microwave in my office at work has 3 buttons. "Start/+30" "+10 seconds" and "clear"
The world NEEDS more chunky button design. Everything being replaced with a touch interface is such a tragic loss.
The EA microwave: Pay $100 to remove the pannel
Don't get a family sized lasagna! You might hurt your finger 😂
The microwave at work just had a dial that you turn.
I only want my ice cream to microwave for 10seconds though
"the perfect temperature" ... says the man who removed the ability to adjust the power level from the microwave.
Good idea until when the frozen meal says medium 50% power 😂
Cancel button left the chat
Had no idea Tony Hinchcliffe was this smart
if everyone only uses one button why did he add 2?
“But women love colors… er, wait. I mean the public loves buttons!”
Dude is gonna have his mind blown if he ever sees a gas station microwave 😮
What a knob !
That's hilarious, I'm complaining about this very thing to myself, while making breakfast. I sit down and this is the first short I see. LOL!
That one time you want the perfect time to be set when your making popcorn
Sooo you designed a button that.... pushes another button.
I love it.
My aunt sharon's cabin has an old radiation leaking microwave with a dial and I love it
Wait ive never even read the buttons on my microwave until now 😂😂😂 "Potato" "Beverage" "PIZZA"???? Like what the fuck hahahaha
To be honest: that's really smart of you what you did!
lol I LITERALLY HAVE THE SAME MICROWAVE 😂😂😂😂
The "reheat" button works amazingly well. Definitely worth a try!
All fun and games until some prankster presses the +30 second button 37469 times and there's no way to press cancel. 😂
Industrial microwaves actually work like that
Normally to cook something for 2 minutes and 30 seconds you'd need to do four button presses, but with this amazing invention you can now do it in just five!
Popcorn button: *Am I a joke to you?*
Popcorn button... You got to add the popcorn button

exactly. wanted to use an unfamiliar microwave today and couldn't figure out how to start it

Mute the beeper while you're at it. I don't need five long beeps, waking up everyone in the house, to tell me that my food is done.
