In microwave cooking, cooking by time, not by sight, is the trick to perfectly cooked, delicious dishes! Be aware that while timing is often the most important factor, other factors can play a role, such as the cubic footage of the microwave.

That turned into 25 years of recipes, debt-busting strategies, and DIY content — including figuring out how to make 128 loads of laundry detergent for less than $2. Millions of families have quietly used this site to stretch a dollar without feeling like they're sacrificing anything. She's also the author of two bestselling budget cooking ebooks, available on Amazon.

  1. Back in my day we didn’t have watt conversions, we just guessed and hoped the hot dog didn’t explode. But this chart’s actually handy. Taped it to the fridge so the grandkids stop nuking their popcorn into charcoal.
