Why this site exists
Many packaged foods list instructions for one wattage, but not everyone owns that exact microwave. A 700W compact microwave needs a different starting time than an 1100W countertop microwave. This site turns that adjustment into a fast calculator, chart, and API.
What the site does
The public calculator estimates the adjusted cooking time using the wattage ratio between the package instructions and your microwave. Guide pages explain how to find your wattage, how the formula works, and why safety checks still matter.
What the site does not do
The calculator does not guarantee food safety, final doneness, or texture. It cannot measure the temperature of your food or know whether a frozen meal was stirred, covered, vented, or allowed to stand.
Technical approach
The app is built as a PHP 8 API-first project with no required database, no Composer dependency, and no frontend framework. The same conversion endpoint used by the website can later support widgets, mobile apps, and partner integrations.
