@thermia@sk.girlthi.ng Heat food at ~600W... Everything above that is basically marketing-land, as it heats parts of the food faster than the heat can transfer to the colder parts that happen to not get so much energy. With frozen food you'll want to start with a really low wattage for some minutes before cranking up the wattage to ~600W. This is because ice is really bad at absorbing microwaves and if you start with 600W right away, you'll end up with ice sitting in lava anyways. xkcd had a what-if to that, too: https://what-if.xkcd.com/131/
