"How do you convert seconds to microwave time? let’s say you have 60 seconds that would be 00:60 but if you have 61 seconds then it would be 01:01
What’s the wizardry /g/?"
You can actually put 61 and it would still work. Up to 99. After that it will assume 1 minute instead of 75 seconds or whatever.
Yeah, I always put my potatoes in the microwave for 6:66, or if they’re somewhat larger potatoes, 7:77.
6:66 at 60% power is my goto for reheating large-ish dishes. 5:55 at 50% for medium-sized ones. 4:44 @ 40% for smaller dishes.
For baked potatoes, cover them in butter or olive oil, rosemary, and some salt, wrap them in foil and stick in the air fryer. Remove the foil for the last 3-4 minutes. Tastes way better than the microwave.
I’m pretty sure every microwave just splits the input in to the last to digits as a number of seconds and the digits before that as minutes. Then runs for
60 * minutes + seconds. So 0:99 is equivalent to 1:39 and 1:80 is equivalent to 2:20. I mean it is a little weird that the seconds can be >59 and extra weird that you can do 6:66 but it isn’t exactly wizardry.
