I’m sure this will surprise no one, but I wasted no time in replacing our defunct microwave. Not only does the new one have a “popcorn” button, it has no less than eight other sensor buttons. And that doesn’t include the three for reheating and four for defrosting (heaven forbid it should defrost boneless chicken as if it were bone-in). It even has the “minute plus” feature that I’ve coveted for years.
Unfortunately it doesn’t have a button to prevent a recurrence of this.
But I was positively shocked to find out what else my new microwave doesn’t do. They even put in the manual:
The oven is for food preparation only. It should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.
Good thing they warned me. Guess I won’t be getting rid of my dryer after all.

Phffft. If you can’t dry your undies in a hurry, what good is it???
Aren’t you glad when manufacturers state the obvious? Actually in a pinch, the microwave would be a handy socks dryer too.
Dang, that was quick! And don’t trust the popocorn key. Ours burns the popcorn EVERY TIME. 2 minutes 10 seconds is the time that works best on our Whirlpool. I’m just sayin’…..
