My microwave beeps at me every minute when it's finished to let me know to open it and yell "Are you happy now?".
How else do you know to rescue the potato inside?
The potato can wait. I'm busy.
Those beeps are useful for things that you're supposed to microwave and then 'rest' for x minutes
True but if you're only cooking peas then it's a bloody nuisance when you're trying to organise the other parts of the meal.
If I want it to time my resting period I just set the timer to run after the main cooking time.
