She&amp;#x27;ll open the microwave to stop it, takes her food out and, just ... leaves it open. Then when I close it later it will start up again with nothing inside. Arrrgh!&lt;p&gt;So? Hit the cancel button when you close it - you have to be right there to close it after all.&lt;p&gt;TBH, I do this too, because I hate putting in some milk to warm for cereal and getting out warm milk flavoured with and smelling of the curry we warmed last night.&lt;p&gt;Anytime the microwave oven is used for aromatic food or any meal with flavouring, leave the door open.</text><parent_chain><item><author>Reason077</author><text>My flatmate does this with kitchen cupboard doors, and, most annoyingly, the microwave.
