Setting the time on an oven or microwave is a difficult design problem because nobody does it often enough to learn it, so it needs to be deduced afresh, roughly every six months. I had a novel idea about how to vastly improve the UX: how about *just not displaying the time*?

I think that using relative times for this would be a good compromise, considering the vast numbers of oven clocks everywhere which are displaying the wrong time or (almost more annoying) a slightly wrong time...
Most people have a phone or watch which can reliably tell the time. Having a second source of truth isn't really helpful. Even if I read the time from an oven clock, I would have to check it against another source anyway, just because there's such a high chance it's wrong!

I check it against radio controlled weather station (with battery backup), which shows not only correct time, but also temperature, humidity and atmospheric pressure. Along with trends and moon phase. No tweets though :-)
