Microwave Wattage


Obviously, it takes longer to cook food when the microwave's power (wattage) is lower. We suggest that you start with a cook time that is one-third longer than what is called for in the recipe. For instance, if a recipe says to microwave on high for 9 minutes, microwave for 12 minutes instead. And be sure to follow any doneness test mentioned in the recipe, such as "cook until tender."
