Well in my case I calculated the 7.5 minutes on 80% power -- but that is just me.

I just cook it for 7 mins. Screw it.

yes, i am sure there is no reason at all why they want you to cook it at different settings. they probably just wanted to make you do math.

well we have a 1200 watt microwave, so it never takes as long as ANYTHING says (most boxes seem to be for 800-1000w)...so I usually decrease the time by at least a minute if it's more than 3 minutes or so. If something says 2-3 minutes, I do 1 minute 30 seconds and go from there....that kind of stuff

I can cook any number of things in under 15 minutes that are significantly tastier and healthier than microwave crap, have not used it for anything but last minute defrosting for years.

Sheesh I can cook food but sometimes it is nice to throw a frozen lasagna thing in the microwave.

90% of the time if it is done purely in the microwave it is frozen italian at least for me.

are you referring to tv dinners? that stuff is disgusting and should not be called lasagna. its more like noodles, tamato stuff, fake cheese, and runny water everywhere. all for 800 calories at 2inx2in.

All they're trying to do is make it not taste like ass when you're done. Cook it however you want. Just don't whine when it tastes like ass.

if the directions are anything other than "heat for x minutes, stop and stir and then continue" then it's too complicated to cook in the microwave and should be heated in the oven.

I will occasionally microwave something for lunch at work but then I follow the directions. It's not very often that I will actually nuke a meal.

I nuke my coffee to warm it up, and make popcorn. I oven everything else.
