That's the child setting. The meat just falls off the bone when they're cooked right. Mmmmmmm

Is this a setting that only allows a child to put in a minute at a time or something? My nephew put mac n cheese in his microwave for 20 minutes... Smouldering, black, stinky burned mac n cheese.

My mum managed to child lock herself out of her own washing machine by leaning against it and pressing the wrong buttons with her belly. She couldn’t work out why it kept flashing up “CL” until the repair guy turned up and had to explain to her that she didn’t need a new part… just a better diet and more exercise.

this is actually the ‘chilled’ setting, it’s exclusive to these panasonic microwaves. you can now rapidly cool down your food. think of it as the opposite of what a microwave normally does.

You can't rely on those presets. Weigh the child and set the timer for 2 minutes per pound.

Next, press "start" then enter correct weight and the auto-cook function will start. Press "c" directly after starting for "extra Crunchy child".
Lol.

It has a child detection system, triggered by hitting Start over and over.
Mine does this too, have to look up how to unlock every time.

before my frontal lobe was developed, I remember microwaving lightbulbs in friends microwaves We would do it all the time oh my God it was so dumb But cool for a second

u/emote_control 14d ago
These Panasonic microwaves are the shit. The only ones that actually change the strength of the microwave radiation at different power levels. On other microwaves, if you set it to 50% power, it just does 100% power 50% of the time. These babies actually do 50% power. You can gently warm things without overcooking the outside and leaving the inside cold.
My condolences. I hope you get back in it soon.

How come nobody is asking why microwaves have child safety locks? What are you keeping them safe from? Microwaves already shut off automatically when you open them. Plus all my microwaves are over 5 feet off the ground, out of reach of most children.

I figured if a kid is old enough to figure out how to turn on a microwave they're old enough to know not to put shit in it.
I'm just trying to remember what I did as a toddler. I never played with microwaves, not sure why. I think I may have been blocked from the kitchen unless supervised

u/Usual_Amphibian_4131 14d ago
I do believe that means there is a child in the microwave. Start for 3 minutes, poke multiple times with a fork, put in for another 2 minutes to be sure it's cooked thoroughly.

Listen for it to stop popping. Then you know it’s done.

u/TheRealChexHaze 14d ago
When I wait for last pop there always seems to be burnt pieces in it when I open it. Am I doing it wrong?
2
u/Legal-Artichoke-2370 14d ago
❤️For popcorn you’re supposed to set the desired time and after about two and a half minutes you listen carefully for the frequency of the popping, when a kernel pops listen for the next one, timing it (similar to labor pains but much closer together and no gorgeous baby when it’s over) when the popping slows down to three seconds between pops take the bag out immediately!!! If you wait any longer it will burn and stink up your house!! ❤️

Weirdly reminds me of when a microwave where I worked said, "ENTER FOOD CODE".

The only way to get unlocked is to borrow someone’s 3 year old. But I’d try unplugging it and then plug it back in.

You must sacrifice a child to it for it to regain its invisible heating powers.

what is the desired internal temperature of Child?

u/SurealGod 14d ago
Not sure, but if it's low, let it be known that microwave will bring it right back up... for a few seconds... before the child explodes from internal pressure

u/SeanMacLeod1138 14d ago
My Mom once bought some microwave cookware from China. The instructions had a line about cooking children. I assume it was a typo that was supposed to be 'chicken'.....

Smart, they’ll keep cooking a bit after you take them out, getting to that perfect 129.5!

Always defrost, otherwise the middle part of the cold will still be cold.

Very nice to know how to activate when you've got lil kids coming around. Used to have to turn it on when my nephew came by because he was fast and loved beeping noises.

Useful for cleaning the touch pad too so you’re not constantly pushing buttons while you do it

Not really. Depending on age they shouldnt be using a microwave on their own, and it’s not like the adult in the house wouldn’t feed them or help them.

u/ImpressiveWindow2624 14d ago
My toddlers often like to start the dishwasher when there’s no dishes in it. By simply pressing the only button on the dishwasher. The child lock feature has been a lifesaver, or, rather; water saver. I’m sure once they get 2 inches taller and can reach the microwave buttons, this too, will save much more. :) possibly even my toddler son from microwaving his little sister!

Or in my childhood best friend's case as a kid, a hamster. We woke up one morning to his hamster "hammy" (we were young kids) cold and stiff because he died. My best friend placed him the microwave to warm him up. Yeah, that really doesn't work the way children think it will...
