11, 33, 44 and 111 - Written Jan 2008

OK, I've been studying this for a while and I'm pretty sure that I'm correct. 11, 33, 44 and 111 are all important numbers! Why? Because those are the ones that you use on your microwave!

Yes, I have come to the conclusion that a crew of engineers have sat down, calculated the strength, square footage and the amount of X amount of high band sound waves (micro) of all new Microwave ovens being sold today.

My research included coffee, Chinese food variations (Chunky & Solid offerings), Frozen Bread Products (English Muffins) and the list goes on. Most of my findings were double checked and confirmed by my Daughter so I KNOW I am not going crazy!

Warm left over coffee in the AM while waiting for the new pot? No problem: 44. Got a little steak left over you want warmed through without over doing it? Same number. Chicken Quesadia? You're good with: 33. Got a full plate that you want warmed through? 111, check, stir food and use 33 or 44 to finish off depending on desired temperature.

So, why are some numbers NOT listed in my initial list? They're a waste, that's why! You don't need 22. If you have something that delicate, you ARE going to use 11, check it and then 11 again! It's human nature! No 55, why? That's what 111 & 33 or 44 are for!

So, it's with great relish I tip my hat off to the Engineers that have designed this simple scheme that makes warming up food easier on us average blokes!

Nobody uses 10, 30, 45 or 100, it's stoooopid… Go ahead, try to tell me I'm not right on this one! I dare ya! You'd be lying!
