Loving the tip on fitting two bowls in at once by raising it with a cup. Genius.

Thank you for the most helpful and informative videos on microwaves that I have ever seen. I came across your content by accident today and was very pleased and relieved to have found it. Greetings from Indiana, USA.

I appreciate this.

I suggest that not only should people use the power settings, they should use the stages, with power setting 0, if necessary. For example, if you want to heat it a bit at first, then pause for 30 seconds, and then heat again...then you can set it like this.

Stage 1: 45 seconds; power 70%
Stage 2: 30 seconds; power 0%
Stage 3: 2 minutes; 100%

The lower setting in stage 1 gives the food time to transfer the heat without the outer layer being blasted right away. By the end of stage 2, the food is much more even, and then stage 3 can go at it a little longer.

I used to use the 2nd stage like this for homemade popcorn, and it had really great consistent results.

Brilliant info for microwave cooking and warm ups…

Great video, thanks. I love a bowl of porridge in the mornings, especially the larger jumbo oats (sometimes marketed as 'old fashioned') which take an extra half a minute longer to microwave than the quick varieties. If you don't cook them long enough they are gritty and not very nice.

I have been using my MWO several times a day for almost 20 years. I bought it for 25 euros and it still works perfectly. Definitely one of my best investments I've ever made. Cooking with it is possible, but it is very tricky and not easy. But it is now indispensable for simply heating up food.

That’s okay providing the dish of soup doesn’t fall off the cup or take longer, cleaning up the mess but great tips and advice appreciated

[FordTransitvan]

This is great. Nice presenting style too.

Number one tip for frozen French fries: microwave for 4 minutes on 80% (unfortunately I don't know how many watts that is) before air frying.
The idea here is similar to preboiling them, but using the microwave is much easier.

What follows is a couple of rants:
I never put anything plastic in the microwave - even if it claims to be microwave safe.
I rarely use full power (100% here in Canada). The first microwave I ever used (back when they first came out, I'm 52 years old now) advised reheating food at 70%, so that's what I do.
It is strange that successive microwaves I've owned do not mention the 70% rule.
After listening to your video, I should probably think more about specific wattage than 70% of some microwave's maximum from decades ago.

The plastic cover is the gold standard when cooking salmon!

I’m running a 700w microwave off a 1000w inverter in my van. Hardly used a microwave before now my whole life hence why I’m here for tips lol

[xDSx]

any alternative to #1? I can taste plastic in my food if I use the cover. Also, it would be good to get the links for the products you are showing in video please along with Timestamps if possible.

thanks and keep up the good work
