This has got to be the whitest conversation about cooking rice I've seen in a while.
Every microwave I've ever had has lots of buttons for all sorts of things, but I have no idea what they do. All I've ever done is put stuff in and run it at full blast.
My friend usually cooked stuff in the microwave at lower power with longer times and had better results but I just dont care enough
I got a new fancy inverter microwave, and it's an absolute game changer, for reheating.
Running a traditional microwave, lower power modes are literally just lower duty cycles. Very coarse, too.
30% power is something like "turn on high power for 3 seconds, turn off power for 7 seconds, repeat"
Which means your good gets blasted at 1200w for 3 seconds, and then is given time to rest for 7 seconds, before starting over again.
This is bad for things like fats and oils in food, which tends to heat up REALLY fast, and start splattering/burning the parts of the food they're in.
It works but could be better, smoother.
Enter the inverter microwave. It can adjust the actual power output of the magnetron itself. So when you tell it 30% power, it will run the whole 10 seconds without cycling on and off, but it's literally only putting out 30% of the normal full power.
This is much more gentle on delicate foods.
Caveat, at powers below 30% it starts to duty cycle again, I imagine because the magnetron can only operate so low before it can't run normally.
But still, pulsing a 30% powered magnetron on and off is a lot more gentle than a 100% powered one.
This has made reheating leftovers much better.
Instead of blasting it at full power, then stirring/mixing the food, and blasting it again.
I just set it at 10 or 20%, take a quick shower, and come out to perfectly evenly reheated food. Takes 10 or 20 minutes instead of 5, but, way less work, and much better results. Win win.
Same with my washing machine. Delicates, wool, underwear, shirts, it's all 1:10h and 40°C by default.
Separating whites and colored clothes.
I wish this was true... Many of my shirts with a little white (like a collar or stripe) but otherwise dark together with other dark clothes are now a weird greyish tone that do not look clean... Same with all my white towels that I didn't care about that I washed with my other dark stuff like towels and socks.
If you wash on cold it doesn't matter. Warm wash might matter if the colored fabrics are new, and depending on the dye process.
Washing colors with whites on hot, especially if the colors are new, is how you get dye bleed
It matters if you bleach your white clothes.
Yeah, there's that. I never do, so I didn't think of it.
I don't even buy white clothes because they get dingy so fast and I'm kind of a messy eater anyway, so it's all darks for me...
Plus I tried using bleach once a long time ago but it seemed to degrade my clothes pretty quickly.
Yeah, I don't ever have enough white clothes to make a full load, so I don't bother with bleach. I separate my clothes by drying requirements and fragility.
I just throw towels, bed sheets, blankets, pants, shirta and everything else at the washing machine at once and set it to heavy load and it works fine
