Ever think about how to save time when using your microwave? I do.

Instead of pressing 1-3-0 for a minute and a half, press 9-0 for 90 seconds. This saves a button press for anything between 60 and 100 seconds. Need 1:15? Press 7-5 instead of 1-1-5.

My microwave has a button labeled “Minute Plus,” which I always use when I need one minute instead of programming 1-0-0 or 6-0. If I need 2 minutes I hit that button twice. This button also saves from having to hit the Start button.

Do you have any tricks?
