If your worried about the food spoiling, set a few ice cubes in a container in the freezer. If you come back and the cubes have changed their shape, you know the power went off and came back on, refreezing the water back into ice.
Another way of telling if the power went out while you were gone is the microwave clock will be blinking.
Yeah, but the blinking clock won't tell you if the power was out for 1 second, or long enough for your food to spoil. The ice cube trick tells you the power was out for an extended period.
