The cooking instructions make me LOL.
Microwave from chilled: 1m30
From frozen: 1m40

That cannot be right, surely?

Haha.
The extra 10 seconds makes all the difference.

Sounds OK.
A chiller will be roughly 20°C warmer than a freezer. You'll be wanting to heat it up and hold it above a certain temperature for a short time. Say above 70 for 30 seconds. So you need about a minute to heat it up from chilled and a minute plus about 20% to heat it up from frozen.

They've probably done their sums.

Assuming this is right, is it mere paranoia that leads most supermarket 'ready meals'
to have 'from frozen' cooking times set at almost double the chilled ones, then?


EDIT this is my contender

I can't say I've dedicated much time to studying microwave guideline times.
But twice the time doesn't make much sense unless supermarket deep freezers are a lot colder than domestic ones.
