We have a horrible new Panasonic microwave oven. The BEEP is
ear-splitting. The procedure to silence it is complex, and only
works if the door is open.
Does it keep forgetting it was silenced, so you have to do this
procedure multiple times?

I break the piezo buzzer, if I can get at it.
We should arrest whoever invented piezo buzzers. Put him in a prison
cell with 100 piezos.

My microwave oven has a little metal gong, When the timer has run back
to zero, it releases a tiny hammer and the gong goes "ping!" Perhaps
one day they will re-invent this idea and hail it as a great improvment.
How about a knob that you turn, the more you turn it the longer the
microwave runs.
I'm sorry to tell you that has already been thought of - and my
microwave oven is already equipped with it.
It has another ingenious feature which I haven't seen anywhere else:
The timer motor is wired to the magnetron circuit so that it only runs
when the magnetron is energised. The dial behind the knob is
dual-marked; one set of markings shows the sum of the actual heating
time and the other set shows how long this takes in real time when the
magnetron is pulsed at lower power settings.
Clever, eh!!
