All microwave ovens are NOT created equal.

A more powerful oven cooks faster than a less-powerful oven. Oven power is measured in Watts. A manufacturer's label, usually attached to the back, or bottom of the oven gives the oven's power rating.

Food products for microwave ovens usually give recommended cooking times based on an 1100 watt oven, although this may vary.

If your oven's power rating is more or less than the wattage on which the food product's recommended cooking time are based, then you need to increase or decrease the cooking time for your oven correspondingly to avoid over-or-under-cooking the food.

Use this DanoChef Microwave Oven Cooking Time Calculator App to enter the wattage and cooking times from a food product label, and compute the appropriate cooking time for your own oven.
