Yes, mostly ranging from 1.5 - 3 minutes with instructions for half or full bag. I personally prefer to cook for slightly less than instructed. Also note that for many food you want to add a small amount of water (1 tbsp) to steam better. Lemon and garlic are also very good additions for most veggies.

Yes, they are printed on the bag. Usually about 8 minutes for frozen vegetables.

Yes, they are made only for the microwave, all the meats and vegetables are listed and the times for one or more potatoes, carrots, etc.

They have a list of items (half a bag or a full bag) with their cooking times. I'm not at home so I don't have them in front of me, but it seems like there were about 15 items. They were almost all vegetables.

The steam time depends on the item and the voltage if your microwave. I do broccoli in 3min. And fish 10 or until opaque...

Yes. Two simple ways are to:1. Press the "Add 30 Sec" button. Each press adds 30 seconds. 2. Press the "Cooking Menu" button and then select "Cook by Time". You can then rotate the knob to select the amount of time.

This might help: The instructions say....Microwave re-heating: never transfer the container straight from freezer/refrigerator to microwave; always wait for the container to get to room temperature. Remove lid before placing the container in the microwave; select a medium- low power program(maxtemp +70 C / +158 F) never use the crisp/browning function. The hot container should never be placed on a wet or cold surface: please use a trivet or other protection. Attention: it is recommended not to heat up foods that are high in fat or sugar because they can reach very high temperatures resulting in possible breakage of the glass.

Depends on watts of microwave. I do 4minutes for 1100-1200. 6 minutes for 800-850. Hope that helps.

yes, I put mine in the microwave for ten seconds on each side. Directions recommend that you heat in ten second intervals (or less) until you know what works for your particular microwave.

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.

No. This microwave has one knob that turns it on/and time set up to like 6 minutes. It has no options. Perfect for public use areas (break room, dining areas, etc)

It depend s whether you are cooking in the microwave or cook-top . Microwave directions: Measure according to how many servings you wish to have. Boil appropriate amount of water, pour over rice in large bowl, add salt and cook covered on Level 10 for 90 seconds and level for 16 minutes. The bag instructions are fine for cook-top.

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 would suggest that you read the manual. Yes the clock should be set. When programmed properly this microwave gets everything pipping hot, usually in a minute. Have someone help you reading the manual. Good luck.

I sure wish there was! Microwaves are so loud when cooking anyways, it is very easy to tell it's done without a deafening beep; I'm shopping for one I could do this with ideally...

We are using the same setting and time as is recommended by the manufacturer for cooking loose potatoes (no bag). That is 4 minutes on high for two medium sized. Our microwave is rated at 1000 watts on the high setting. Many smaller MW's are 750 watts and it would take longer. Also, we wash them and leave wet not damp...more steam.
