    I’ve absolutely done it before because I’m weird. Entering 1:90 (on my Kenmore microwave) ticks down 1:89… 1:88… etc. until it hits 1:00 at which point it will continue as normal to 0:59.

    1:60 behaves similarly.

    I have a feeling the “add 30 seconds” button will correct it to proper time format, but I’ll test it for science.

      A trick I learned from my dad was to do a quick “9-9-start” to get about a minute and a half

        “9 0 start” is the same number of buttons. Also +30 seconds 3 times gets exactly 90 seconds. Your dad was trolling

          Yeah but you gotta move your finger from the 9 to the 0, which is slower

          Also +30 seconds 3 times gets exactly 90 seconds

          It didn’t have that button then
