When microwaving food, do you stop too soon and have it still cold or do you stop too late and have to wait? (lemmy.world)

I use the defrost setting and cook it like 12 minutes or so and then let to cool to where I can handle theoutside with my hand.

My microwave has a sensor that one sets for a temperature (as opposed to inputting a time), and it generally works pretty well. Definitely, it works better for some foods than others, but the worst case is I have to give it a stir and one more go-round.

Depends, when cooking an egg in the microwave you damn well better not overcook it lest you end up with eploding scrambled eggs all over the microwave. When it comes to potatoes you have to let them heat up and cook so its unavoidable to wait for the cool down

A little of both...

Neither. I do it a bit too long then cool it down with my portable kitchen fan.
