I have a coworker who heats up things in the microwave.
(He or She) clicks the Instant 30 seconds button, waits 10 seconds, watching the count down, and then clicks the Add 30 seconds button again, because, according to him or her, it heats it up just right @50 seconds, but 60 seconds is too much.
Let me know if the ramifications of this process escapes you.
just another day in the cubes of dispair.

It's 2 clicks, instead of 2 clicks. Obvious 😀

Laziness is joy and what else are you going to do in the extra 20 seconds? Besides, two more button pushes is HARD work.
At least they're not burning the popcorn. Things could be worse.
Never stop learning, even if it hurts. Ego bruises are practically mandatory as you learn unless you've never risked enough to make a mistake.

I have a sister who insists that if you turn up the heat under a pot of boiling potatoes so that they boil more furiously, they will cook more quickly. Not because of the increased agitation (the spuds, not mine), but because "the water gets hotter".

Actually, entering 50 seconds is three clicks: 5 + 0 + Start. Saves one click, wastes 10 seconds.

So you got back to your computer during those 50 seconds?? :hehe:

my issue with it is that no matter how long you wait between the clicks to "add 30 seconds", 30 seconds + 30 seconds = 60 seconds....

Ah that makes more sense on the non-sense 😉

I do that sometimes, not necessarily 10 sec, but maybe 15, or something else. It's fraught with danger, and I do end up making mistakes, but I might be talking with the kids or thinking while I watch it count down to 10 or 15 sec and then hit the button again.

...but that is different than 60 seconds. 60 seconds is too much but 30 seconds + 30 seconds is just right.

yes, but that 10 second pause in the 😎 middle is what is critical to make it 60 seconds that feels like 50 seconds :w00t:

That will only work if she keeps the lit on the pot, so that pressure rises within the pot.

I don't think you can increase the pressure enough with standard cookware to increase the temperature much, if at all. There has to be a significant pressure increase before the water will require a higher temperature to boil. In the case of a boiling pot of water it doesn't actually matter how much heat you apply underneath. The boiling point will remain at 212 degrees. It is under pressure when the boiling point increases.

There is cookware available that can do that. My parents had such a pot, but it usually comes with a rubber around the lit and everything, so that air can't escape.
ps: that's odd, water boils at 100 degrees here :hehe:

We're way more cost effective than "they" are :-D.
Performance is much better too!
