The mode selector on our toaster oven is really hard to see. After five years, I finally decided enough was enough and knocked this enhancement out with a bit of scrap PG maple veneer.
the good thing about microwaves is that it’s almost always under 6-7 mins for us. and usually 2-4. i don’t do a lot of cooking with it. some reheating and occasionally defrosting (not usually meat, but cold butter on defrost for 45 seconds makes it just spreadable without melting).
Love the arrow! So much easier to see than a dot. My microwave is all push button, so I don’t have a dial, but this tip will certainly be useful for other things I may have that DO have dials!
If only the Glowforge could fix our microwave clock. Our breaker was tripped a month or two ago and ever since then, the clock runs super fast. The cooking timer itself is fine, though. It’s been throwing me off a lot, as it’s the clock most easily viewable from the dining room. lol
