When my frozen meal says "Microwave on HIGH for 1 minute" do they mean for no more than 1 minute or the highest setting?

    They mean high for 1 minute. Then you check if it’s good for you.

        That’s just gonna make you more hungry and your food will still be cold.

        This is the correct answer.

        But remember there is time dilation depending on how high you are. (AKA green shift)

    It means microwave it on 70% power for 3 minutes.

      3 min x 30% = 90 s

      60 s x 3 = 180

      180 / 90 = 2

      1 / 30% ~= 3

      3 - 2 = 1

      Math checks out, thanks!

    the highest setting

    This one. It means microwave it for a minute on the highest setting your microwave has.

    usually the packaging says something like it depends on how powerful your microwave is. Most of the time its fine if you just hit one which will do high for one minute.
