The Microwave

[Medium Difficulty]

I am having trouble with this object. Last game I played, I had leftover tomato soup from the previous day; so, it was cold. I put 150ml in two bowls and heated them separately. 1 minute each on high. I combined them into a deep plate and served it. Customer still complained about it being cold.

A few questions.

Is the microwave bugged? If not, how long do I need to nuke things to reheat them? Is there any difference between the settings (Low, Med, High)?

I've never managed to get the microwave to work, I've put stuff in for up to 5 minutes and the customers still complained it was cold. I've now resorted to reheating the amount I need in a small pot on the stove top for 1 minute and that seems to work perfectly.

old post but i'm still having this problem and couldn't find a solution in the other discussions you linked.

edit; in real life, cooking something on high in the microwave for about 20 seconds heats it up nicely, but even going a full minute in cooking sim doesn't seem to be enough, and considering most of its times are lower than real life, that seems very odd. i'm using regular old deep plates, they definitely fit in the microwave.

i FINALLY found the answer on google. contrary to common sense, you are supposed to put the SMALL POT (which is metal) in the microwave, NOT the plates or bowls. this is completely nonsensical, but, at least we have a way to reheat things now.

Either pot works, and I've found a minute on high will heat any soup to serving temperature.

Half minute on high is enough for a soup.
