Also question is, how do you find out how many watts your microwave is?
Check the inside of the oven's door, on the serial number plate on the back of the oven, or in the owner's manual or the manufacturer's website for the wattage.
One may also ask, how many watts does a 900 watt microwave use? The solo microwave oven have 700-watt to 900-watt and grill microwave oven have more than 1000 watts. The convection microwave ovens have average power consumption more than 1200-watt.
Keeping this in view, how many watts is a typical microwave?
1200 watts
What power level is 1000 watts on a microwave?
Then you need to do some math: If you want to steam something at 800 watts and have a 1,000-watt microwave, set the power level to 80 percent, or 8. (Level 9 is 90 percent, and so on. Some microwaves also have shortcut buttons like "medium" and "medium high" that correspond to specific percentages.)
