    Mine just sets a timer for 3 minutes. Luckily that seems to perfectly cook the brand of popcorn I buy, so it’s fine lol

      Mine does 2 mins 30 seconds. Which is about 30 seconds too slow. So I just press +15 sec. twice and perfect every time 😄

        That’s essentially what the video is about, there are two (technically three) types of popcorn buttons, ones that use a humidity sensor, ones that have a pre set time based on average popping time of bags of certain sizes, (and super fancy ones that have the humidity sensor as well as a sound sensor that listens for the “x number of seconds between pops” sound sensor)

          I find it insane that people can’t even be bothered to spend a couple minutes in front of an appliance.

          Microphones to listen to corn pop? Really?

        I have a really cheap microwave. I doubt it has a humidity sensor. And it puts 3 minutes on the clock as soon as you hit the button, so the time isn’t dynamic at all
