How come, no matter what wattage microwave you buy, the food packaging always gives the instructions for something different?
If you own a 600w, the packaging will say 700w. If you go out and buy a 700w, now the packaging says 750w. When we bought our current microwave we got the most powerful one in the shop- 800w. We get it home, find something in the freezer to test it with, look at the instructions- they're for a 1000w. Give me a break.
Are the microwave and ready-meal manufacturers in collusion, ensuring the two never match to push you towards buying another microwave, then another, then another, in a never-ending quest to make microwaving your dinner the simple task it was intended to be?
As it stands, the instructions are almost pointless- they may as well read "put it in for as long as you think, then if it's still not hot give it a bit longer".
