Timer question revised
Let me try asking my original question another way.
I want to be able to set the timer on the microwave for 10 minutes while I boil a potato on the stove. While that timer is counting down those 10 minutes I want to cook frozen veggies for 6 minutes.
Can the timer work as a timer while the microwave is cooking?
My current (and all my previous) microwave oven can/could do this. This is an extremely important feature for me. I wish to find a mid-size microwave that can run the timer as the time while also cooking. In other words, be able to use the microwaves timer as a timer while food is cooking, thus they are separate functions that can function at the same time.
Please advise.
Thanks!
Yes, it can be done. I tested this using a cup of water. First, I set the timer to 10 minutes and hit Start. Next, I placed the cup in the oven and selected 3 mins. After 30+ seconds, I stopped the oven and removed the cup of water. I depressed stop again to clear the remaining 3 mins and noticed that the time was at 9:08 seconds; meaning that it took me ~20 seconds to stop; clear; observe, etc.
