      Tbf most microwaves are designed in a dumb way where half power means turning on the magnetron to max power anyway just for half the time, with something like 20 second on cycles. They’re like putting food into the oven to 450F but pulling it out every so often.

        Pretty sure that is how all of them work and it is perfectly fine. Stopping the blast of energy frequently lets the heat evenly distribute while cooking to keep any part from overcooking.
