Microwaves cook very quickly unlike you know normal ovens and don't within the scope of normal cooking time output much air to carry the smell to allow you to decide when they are done. By the time you smell it you have nuked it way way too long.
Also most microwaves make it extremely easy to put things in for small increments for instance hitting 1 - 6 on mine's keypad and nothing else immediately starts it for 1 - 6 minutes and also has a dedicated 30 seconds button. So it is incredibly easy to set it for a known small length of time allowing you to do other things whilst it cooks rather than standing by the fuckin door waiting to stop it. If you forget you may either ruin your food, destroy your microwave, or start a fire.
There are basically massive downsides to what you are suggesting and no upsides. It is just so unfathomably stupid that were this post to be associated with your real identity it is the only thing the entire world would associate with your name.
Seems more like a skill issue? I don't have the brain of a goldfish, so I don't have to choose between watching food heat up or having to reset the thing every 30 sec.
Lol, seems as if I committed a hate crime against your culture.......
If you calm yourself down just a little bit and actually focus on utilizing your limited reading comprehension skills, you will notice I specified the air fryer.
I have a microwave, but it is very rarely utilized. Even so, it's not that hard to use if you're not an idiot.
