**This actually raises another question. I'm pretty darn good at
predicting how much time I need to microwave something, and once in a
while I can even remember from experience. (Cocoa from refrigerated
milk is 2 minutes. An eggroll of a given size is 2 minutes 40 seconds,
even though wrapper says 4 minutes.)

I have an older microwave, that has only 700W. Most directions are for
higher power. I find most things are OK if I add 25% to the cooking
time. For example, if it says 3 minutes I use 3:45.

BTW, some people have said that if I got a new microwave, it would
probably fail before the old one.
