I honestly can't swear that my microwave is 1000 W - but..... I started with 2:00. Keep an eye on it though and when the pack starts to expand I turn it off and take it out. Don't walk away leaving it unattended until you've done it once or twice and have a good idea of the time it'll take. I wouldn't put it in for more than that. I've always found that the 2:00 keeps my food nice and warm.

Place it in the microwave....For best results, set the microwave to 2 minutes and 30 seconds.

Yes, you can. I use microwave to heat water filled bag for 6 minutes at 1000 W. I didn't experience any problem.

about 30 - 45 minutes depending on the power of your microwave and frequency of use.

I have put the plates in the microwave for 30-60 seconds to warm up food. Worked good. Not sure about long periods of time. Durable dishes.

It depends on the wattage of your microwave, but generally between 10-20 seconds. If the bag plumps up, you've done it about 5 seconds too long!

I would say about 20 minutes, depending on how hot you start with. I usually put it in the microwave for 2 minutes and it's usually a little too hot at first, but when it starts cooling off a little, it's toasty for probably 20-30 minutes.

I haven't, but I can't imagine it wouldn't work. Recommend cooking for 2 min 40 sec at 20% power for a 1100 watt microwave, and grease both top and bottom of inside with a tiny bit of melted butter.

I've used it for months in a 1200 W microwave. No problems. I hadn't seen the W limit before

Heated to a moderate temperature for a minute and a half in a microwave, it keeps the heat for about 10 minutes.

They heat up by bending the "coin" in the pack. Once the now solid pack is no longer warm, you boil it for 6 minutes and it turns liquid again. I don't know about putting it in the microwave to turn it back to liquid and make it ready to activate again but because the "coin" is a thin metal, I imagine you really wouldn't want to.

My microwave is 1000w and I zap it for 5 min. I don't think time is that critical. After 5 min, I let it cool until I can pick the egg up and place it in the holder. After about an hour the indicator turns blue. After couple of week or so the indicator will turn pink - time to bake it again.

I use it to heat up about a cup or two at a time for tea, cocoa, or oatmeal. It is 1000 watts and heats two cups in about a minute. (Faster than a microwave.) I usually stop it before it comes to a full boil as that is much too hot for tea. My guess is the 1 Liter, 5 minutes to full boil post is accurate.

I usually microwave for 1 minute and 30 seconds with that size. As the pack gets older, I increase the time a bit. The most I've ever used was 2 minutes, but that was with a really old one.

I use an old 700 watt microwave and on high I do about 4.5-5 mins to fuse nicely. But the time will depend on type of glass and how many layers you use.

I usually did 2.5 minutes. It has directions (I think they are printed right on the thing so you don't forget). Just make sure you put it on a clean wash cloth before using your microwave to heat any of these type things...even a tiny bit of food on the wrap will super heat and burn a hole in the fabric. This is the way I have ruined several of these before I started using a clean wash cloth under it.
