Quoting Michael Loo to Dale Shipp <=-

I see Weller told you 11 seconds - I guess in
Canada the microwaves operate at half strength.

I forgot that microwaves come in various strengths. My old full
sized one was 1200 watts; my current one is a mini that runs at just
800 watts.

If anyone is curious what they have but have lost their owner's
manual here's how to find out:

From epicurious.com: To your machine's wattage, fill a microwave
safe liquid measuring cup with 1 cup cold water. Microwave on High
and keep an eye on it, noting how long it takes for the water to
come to a boil:

.1 1/2 minutes: 1,200 watts
.2 minutes: 1,000 watts
.2 1/2 minutes: 800 watts
.3 minutes: 700 watts
.4 minutes: 600 watts


Cheers

Jim

... A microwave minute is even longer than a treadmill minute.
