This implies there is an advanced microwave book somewhere.

    Have you ever pressed the power level button? Using it is a fairly advanced technique.

    Super useful if the food package tells you what wattage the time is meant for. I have a 1300 watt microwave. Most things are designed for an 1100 watt microwave. I cook them at full power to their specified times, it burns. I set the power to 85%, it's perfect.

    I usually use 30-50% power when I have to use a microwave at work to reheat leftovers

    Takes longer but it comes out more evenly heated and less rubbery.

    I usually use 100% when I'm cooking my fish and onion work casseroles though.

    As a kid, I was really confused about how a 'microwave' power plant (SimCity 2K) could turn microwaves into energy. I mean, they use energy, so like, do they produce more than they use? Is that how my food is cooked? Why isn't everyone doing this? We could be generating power and cooking food at the same time! And why is it also a satellite? Can it get satellite TV?! This thing is so multi-purpose it's unbelievable!

    Yup. It involves the buttons that aren't start or stop.

    Ah yes. Microwaved chocolate cake, such a classic dessert dish.

    3-2-1 Mug Cake is a thing, and it's pretty decent. That said, assuming they're real food at all, none of those three things on the cover ever saw the inside of a microwave, LOL.

    Microwaving can get pretty complex, the reason most microwaved food tastes like shit is because people think you can just toss it in and start cooking, even though that works with literally nothing else.

    I always put my stove burner on high.

    Haaaaa! My daughter has this as her background on her iPad. It was at her school and she thought it was hilarious.

    It was that era when so many book covers had a design sensibility that implied everyone must be tripping.

    Will this book help me cope with my senility?

    I used to own that book. It was thrown out a long time ago.
