    Alright, did not expect that. To me, it’s just that the food I’m trying to heat often enough varies in terms of amount or how much water is in there, so that it just seems extremely futile to try to heat it precisely. But yeah, I can see dog food or such being consistent enough that this works.

      Generally high is too high for most foods, where it overcooks the outsides and still cold in the middle. Regulating the power setting and time is like using the settings on a stove and taking stuff off when done.

      Melting cheese, heating mashed potatoes, and a ton of other things are just better with some small tweaks to the time and power. Hitting the +30 seconds is like putting the stove on high and cooking in 30 second increments.
