Microwave more than one container at a time
If package says to microwave 7 minutes for one container, how long for three? I want to cook all three packages at one time but it doesn't give me multiple microwaving times. Microwave shouldn't be multiplied by three, I know that.
Best Answer
There's no general answer. As you say, it's probably less than triple the time for one, and unless it's really small, it's probably substantially more than the time for one. But depending on the size and shape, it could be all over the place in that range.
You pretty much just have to try it and check periodically, starting perhaps after 10-15 minutes to get an idea. If it's relatively large compared to your microwave, you may also need to rearrange them periodically to get even heating, maybe every several minutes, in which case you'll get a very good idea how fast it's heating and don't have to worry about all the rest of this.

Can you put 2 things in the microwave at once?
It's easy. Put your first bowl in the microwave, then put a coffee mug upside down next to it. Next, place your second bowl on top of the coffee mug and voila\u2014a multi-level microwaving system. Now just heat until your heart's content (no more struggling to keep one bowl warm while you wait for the other one to finish).How do you evenly distribute heat in a microwave?
Instead of placing food in the center, spread it in a circle around the outer edge of the container or plate. The more you spread it out, the better. This makes it easier for the microwaves to reach in and create enough friction to heat the food evenly. Place a cover over the food to keep water from evaporating.Why does it take longer to cook more food in the microwave?
Conclusion. The more food is placed in the microwave, the longer time it will take to get it fully heated up or cooked. This is caused by the slow rate it takes to get the food heated or cooked since the mass of food to be heated is greater with the same amount of microwave radiation produced.What 3 containers are microwave safe?
