    I’m in Australia, generally, we have cooking instructions and microwaves that talk about wattage and time. Never duty cycle.

    Eg a sauce packet says 600w 30sec. Press power button until 600w and put it in 30 seconds.

    I know there’s duty cycles, you can hear them. I don’t know if that’s how it’s converted as a fraction of the 1500 watt maximum (40% duty cycle = 600w) but you hear it turn on and off most on the defrosting preconfigured buttons.

    Either way, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s all just the same underneath with regional translations.

      Well, you ARE an honorary EU member, makes sense that you’d use the clearly more sensible system ;D

      Tap for spoiler

      I am joking, it just seems more sensible to me because it’s what I know.
