This probably won't help you in the UK, since I'm unfamiliar with the
appliances available. However, practically all the microwave ovens in
the US have a numeric keypad that is capable of selecting cook times from
1 second to 99.99 minutes. Only the very tiny inexpensive units seem to
have rotary timing controls. Many also have "express" cooking buttons
which provide a variety of automatically selected cooking times and power
levels.
