Interesting bit of trivia. Microwaves don’t actually have “high” or “low” settings. The magnetron, the microwave’s core component, only has two states - on and off. It can’t power the magnetron at 10% power level.
Instead, the “power” settings just control how often the magnetron is activated. So maybe at full power it’s on 100% of the time. At medium it’s 10 seconds on, 10 second off. At low it’s 3 seconds on, 10 seconds off. That kind of thing. The “power” setting is just a glorified timer.
Lower power basically does this automatically. Do extra time on lower power and it’s way better with no additional effort required

You’re not qualified for this topic. You’re only allowed to share trivia about trees and erections
Unless you have a modern microwave with an inverter, which will power the magnetron constantly with varying levels of power.
Yep, that’s what I meant by doing it automatically.
