    I’m not sure 160 is 2 minutes on my microwave.

      What happens when you type “1-6-0” on the time?

        It probably becomes 1m 60s. I’ve had microwaves do it both ways, either having it only be in seconds or having seconds for two digits.

        Edit: I’m dumb and very tired from Holidays, I’m leaving this up anyways though.

        I dunno. I’ve never put in a time on my microwave - i just use the add button. Does it give you a minute and 60 seconds. Thats weird.

    Sub-Thought: I wonder how many people punch in “1:00” instead of “60”?

      Every microwave I’ve had, you hit the power button then the number corresponding to the power level you want.
