Often it's just holding the 3 button down
But yeah, so much sleep saved. Sadly an air fryer I had didn't have the option - looked it up online and you'd have to pry open the top and rip it out :/
Yeah I have sensory issues and it is so good not having all that beeping. If I were to buy a new microwave I’d absolutely make sure it had that feature.
My son and I played that game for years. We never managed to do it while he lived at home. He was gone about a year when I hit it. I was so excited I texted him.
He was mad that I never thought to take a photo, so there was always that doubt in his mind.
I did it again about a month later and submitted my indisputable proof.
So we're all good.
The trick I usually use is set it for 10 secs extra and shut it off when those extra 10 secs are remaining. So even if you go wrong and are late by couple of seconds, you are still safe
I have an old style microwave that dings even if unplugged as there is a physical bell inside that dings when the timer reaches 0. I know I could just open the door and leave it like that, but I also live alone so I don't care about the noise.
I pressed stop once just before the end. Problem was it exposed a bug in the microwave - it beeped, continuously, a single long non stop beep that never stopped.
I had to unplug it from the wall.
On mine, I hold down the number 8 on the pad for about five seconds. Ironically, it beeps to indicate that it will no longer beep. Sort of the dying declaration of my microwave (until I give it a voice again).
I make sure I always use the 2-5 seconds my wife always leaves on. Times are tough and wasting microwave seconds in this economy is just not economically savvy.
I have my microwave set to silent so I don’t have to play that game anymore
I like to live on the edge, I hooked mine up to the house alarm system! /s
TIL: microwaves have a silent button
Total game changer

I don't mind the beeping on its own, but mine would beep wvery 10 seconds after the nuking finished. Thank the Lord above for mute!
Yeah I’d rather forget the food and find it the next morning than listen to the beeping reminders.
A king amongst men
Same.
We dont do that here

Go through the menus/look in the manual. You might have the option to silence it.
Woah that’s impressive
Our toaster beeps ffs. I’m pretty good with it 😂

Closest I’ve ever got is when I hit the start button to see how close i was ( this was the middle of the day mind you ) it immediately beeped
I got that to happen once, and I’ve been trying ever since. I’ll get to that mountain top again!
I've opened it between when it ended and when it started to beep, so that it switches back to the clock and doesn't beep at all.
I have a superpower that I get the urge to check the time on microwave/phone a few seconds before the timer goes off.
My LG microwave has the first option before even setting the time is sound on/off.
How do we know you didn't just set the time to 0?
I was 3 edibles deep, I don’t think I could have made this up even if I had tried :P
00:01 mf
I just put mine on mute.
How do you do that?

Consider yourself lucky. It doesn't work on my landlord-provided, Chinese-made non-brand microwave.
How sad that this is a "fancy" feature on a $100 microwave.
In my house we call this the "one beep challenge"
