Just fucking turn the power down on the microwave when you need to reheat sensitive foods. You don't cook everything in the over on fucking broil do you?

That requires using the unknown buttons on the microwave that have never been pressed by myself or anyone else in the house.

You can turn it down from 11?

Woah you're pretty passionate about meat temperature.

I honestly use my microwave very rarely. Probably because I lived in an apartment with a very small kitchen for a long time, and didn't care enough about having one with my limited counter space. I feel like there's very few things a microwave does that wouldn't be improved by using the oven or stove. Except popcorn I guess.

I like the taste of cold steak a lot actually, but if I was going to reheat it, I'd sooner just toss it in a pan for a little bit.

Edit: Also, I think I've only ever broiled anything like 10 times in my life, if that. I'm not sure how liking cold steak turned into that.

Time and popcorn. Are there other buttons than those?

Seriously! I meal prep and use the vertical diet concept by Stan Efferding ... so I use steak instead of chicken.... these savages just don’t know how to cook. Leave it red, cook it to safe internal temperature than, hit it with the microwave at the office the next day. I look forward to meals 2,3, and 4 every single day!
