Guide: Retro Friday: Dial-Operated Microwave Ovens
An example of where modern technology is really wrong is with microwave oven controls. This has been a very longstanding complaint from countless people, but idiotic manufacturers to this day produce ovens with mind-boggling controls when all we want to do is heat up coffee and soup in the fastest possible way.
The thing to remember about a microwave is that it is an oven first. Everything else it does takes away from the task it should. What this means is that if you have to think even for a second how to Operating a microwave oven is confirmation that you are dealing with a poorly designed appliance. You should never have to think or ‘get used to’ how one of these ovens works.
Can we be saved from this misery?
Yes. The answer is to go retro and deliberately look for a microwave that uses rotary knobs instead of a membrane keyboard (which almost all happens). First, a modern microwave: You see a lot buttons (most of which you’ll never use) and a clock that needs to be reset every time the power goes out and daylight saving time starts. This is a microwave that has to be programmed to work, and that’s stupid. Remember it’s an oven first. Here’s a microwave still made new (thank goodness) that uses rotary knobs:
You will see two watch faces and only one button for all that matters: to open the stupid door. The top button is for heat power, the second for cooking time. That is it. No clock. No programming required. You do not have to press ‘Start’. As soon as you turn the cooking knob, the oven is on; it doesn’t get any easier. If you hate-hate-hate your current microwave oven, purposely pick one that uses dials. You’ll love the simplicity, ease of use and the fact that you don’t have to set anything but heat and cook time. “It’s weird to see a microwave without a digital display.” No, that’s not it. You’ve been fooled into thinking an oven needed a digital panel to work. It is not and never has. Two rotary knobs and a door opener is all you ever need.
