Sorry it seems like such a stupid thread, but im confused by the wording on the back of an asda frozen pasta meal...

It says

"Remove from outer packaging and pierce film in several places, Place the container on a microwavable plate and heat on full power for 14 Minutes (650w),8 1/2 Minutes (750w), 8 Minutes (850w). Leave to Stand for 1 Minute"

:confused:

Surely the difference between 650w and 750w isnt an extra 5 1/2 mins?
 
LOLS. Thats all, sorry it ain't that hard. If its a pre-cooked meal then untill its piping hot you can't really go wrong.
 
Well it was in the microwave(750w) while i made this thread, for 10 mins, Then i took it out and looked at it.. then put it back in for another 3 mins.

Its bubbling like hell now so that should be okay.

Im not a retard by being a bit unsure with this am I? lol

Haha I know that, if its scorching hot right through it would be fine. But the wording on that package is complete crap in my eyes :)

When it comes to micro meals, my rules are stop it before it explodes and keep going untill its very hot! :)

Erm 8 1/2 mins - 8 mins = 30 secs not 5 1/2 mins:confused:
 
If you read what I said. It says 14minutes for 650w.... and it says 8 1/2 minutes for 750w...

14min -> 8 1/2 minutes = 5 1/2 mins right?
