11. The power button

Everyone (she says) overcooks their food by cooking it at 100 percent power which cooks the top of the food but the middle and bottom don’t get done and most just add time. If you use 50 percent power, it will cook the food evenly with the time you indicated so you have a perfect dish at a perfect temperature. She used butter as an example where she put a stick of butter in the microwave and when done, it was a mess of partial melting and some solid. If you put it at 30 percent power with same time, it comes out perfectly for spreading bread and whatever else you want. Hope that helps at least a little.
