Everyone loves the simple joy of a donut, but you're just not living life until you've had a hot donut.

Edit: Change this up based on how many you're warming up and how strong your microwave is. It takes a little bit of getting to know the donuts from your local shop and your microwave and how they interact.

The trick is to lower the output power of your microwave to about 60% then heat them. It avoids the melting hot spots next to the cold dead spots. Also not soggy. Also much more uniform heat distribution. Works for anything.

Stop using your microwave at 100%!!!

How do you do this with a microwave with a turning knob?

[-] danthehutt@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

There is usually a power button you press, then hit 6 to set it to 60%

Are there microwaves that change the power output? Every microwave ive used the power setting only cycle the power off. Like at 60% for 1 minute just means at even intervals the microwave is only on for 36 seconds out of the given minute.

My LG one I've had for a few years seems to vary the output. I don't notice it turning on and off at least.
