What is the difference in cook times of a 1100 watt Microwave and 700 Microwave?

* Food will cook faster in a 1100-watt microwave than in a 700-watt microwave.

* The general rule of thumb is to reduce the cooking time by about 20-25% when using a 1100-watt microwave instead of a 700-watt microwave.

* For example, if a recipe calls for cooking something for 10 minutes in a 700-watt microwave, you would cook it for about 7-8 minutes in a 1100-watt microwave.

* The general rule of thumb is to increase the cooking time by about 20-25% when using a 700-watt microwave instead of a 1100-watt microwave.

* For example, if a recipe calls for cooking something for 10 minutes in a 1100-watt microwave, you would cook it for about 12-13 minutes in a 700-watt microwave.
