Well in my case I calculated the 7.5 minutes on 80% power -- but that is just me.

If it says cook 4 mins then stir and cook 3 mins more..

I just cook it for 7 mins. Screw it.

yes, i am sure there is no reason at all why they want you to cook it at different settings. they probably just wanted to make you do math.

well we have a 1200 watt microwave, so it never takes as long as ANYTHING says (most boxes seem to be for 800-1000w)...so I usually decrease the time by at least a minute if it's more than 3 minutes or so. If something says 2-3 minutes, I do 1 minute 30 seconds and go from there....that kind of stuff

I can cook any number of things in under 15 minutes that are significantly tastier and healthier than microwave crap, have not used it for anything but last minute defrosting for years.
