If Apple made microwaves...
... they'd have one button that said "Add minute."
The way it should be.
Who can be bothered with the keypad with all those numbers and crazy instructions?
When you're ready to hit the microwave you're not in the mood for linear algebra or the culinary equivalent — you just want it hot, fast and easy.
Which is why the only button I ever use is the one that says "Minute Plus," repeatedly hammering it until I get an amount of time that's close enough.
Hey — it's not computer science....
In the meantime there's this
Microwave Apple Cooker.
From the website:
- Microwave Apple Cooker
It doesn't take hours to produce baked apples any more.
Fill the apple's centre with raisins, sultanas, nuts or muesli and in 3-5 minutes you'll have a dessert to be proud of.
Corer included.
Two for £4.59.

Doesn't yours have "Add minute"? Ours, you press "Start" at any time and it adds 30sec to the clock. A head of rinsed broccoli in a jug - 1:30 - three presses.
