Conversion Charts
As you learned in the Microwave Timing section, the amount of time you cook food in your microwave is of critical importance. With microwave cooking, the trick is to learn to cook by time not sight. Many people become frustrated when attempting to cook in the microwave because they do not realize that most recipes for microwave ovens are written for the 700-watt oven (the industry standard). However, you may have a different wattage oven than a 700-watt. What do you do?
The answer is easy. Just use our convenient charts that convert cooking times from a 700-watt oven to your wattage oven:
If your oven wattage is not listed, we will be happy to add a chart here for you. Just post your request at our:
and let us know what wattage oven you need a chart for. The chart for your wattage oven will be added to this site as soon as possible.
Need A Quick Conversion?
If you are in a hurry, and just want to convert a few cooking times on the spot, one of our forum members was kind enough to write a program that will do a quick conversion for you. Just enter the wattages you want to convert from and to, as well as the cooking time you want to convert from in minutes and second, and press the GO button:
What Wattage Is My Oven?
Don't know what wattage microwave oven you have? Visit the What Wattage is My Oven? page to determine your oven's wattage.
Special Requests
We have received many special requests for conversion charts other than for converting from a 700-watt oven. For example, if you purchased a new 1000-Watt Oven, and used to own a 600-Watt Oven, we have the chart to convert the cooking times for you.
The special charts requested and posted so far are:
Again, if the chart you are looking for is not listed, we will be happy to add a chart here for you. Just post your request at our:

Please note: There are several thousand external links throughout the pages of this site. To make navigating simpler for you, we have set up the links so that when you click on the first one, a new browser window will open. When you click on another link, the link will appear in the same window replacing the information of the first link (except eBay auctions, which open a new window with each item clicked on). This way, as you navigate through this site, you will not have to constantly keep closing browser windows. All links to other pages within this site will open in the current window. If a window does not open when you click on a link, check to see if you are running a pop-up blocker, which you may need to turn off in order for the new browser windows to open. Except when you order Microwave Cooking for One by mail, we do not actually sell items directly from this site. Instead, we have done all the work to find the microwave information you are looking for on the Internet, and consolidated it here at this site. When you click on a link for a product, you will be taken to the site that actually offers the product for sale. In some instances, we earn a small commission from the site you visit. This is how we are compensated for the work we have done to bring the information to you. Thank you for supporting this site by making your purchases via the links you click here.
