  • I don't wear a watch, especially not while I'm busy in the kitchen
  • My phone is usually on my pocket, and it's easier to just turn my head than to reach into my pocket, pull out my phone, and turn it on. And also wash my hands if, again, I'm doing kitchen stuff in the kitchen.
  • The microwave is in the kitchen, which is a different room than the living room.

You sound way too reasonable. What's the catch?

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

My microwave and oven clocks are never correct because I don't use them.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That sounds like a "you" problem.

I wear a watch so it's not a problem. Actually, what IS a problem is that my microwave is also a convection over / air fryer but they didn't put sufficient thermal insulation around the electronics/display, so the display is slowly getting cooked and the LED segments keep dying one after another. It's becoming difficult to see how much time is remaining when I cook stuff.

Is this a thing?!

Some of the LED segments on my 15-year-old microwave stopped working so now I can't tell the difference between 5s and 6s.

I figured the wiring was a dud and just came loose after so many years. Maybe I need to pull out my tinfoil hat!

Sounds like your real problem is that you bought a piece of garbage.

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It was the highest rated microwave + convection oven I could find. Maybe a good one doesn't exist.

Most rating sites are just ads for garbage. I just buy all my appliances from Costco now since they tend to actually vet their products.

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Costco is great. I trust their stuff but I bought a ceiling fan from them and I'm about to return it. I'm glad they have a 90-day return policy.

Does your stove not have a clock? They're fairly standard now

Not while it's running.

Neither does the microwave, while it's running.

[–] toynbee@piefed.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

Mine does.

Even within a few hours of setting it, it's usually off by at least a few hours. My microwave is usually pretty accurate to within a few minutes, even after days.
