They're ALREADY cooked, you're reheating them. A microwave is perfectly
capable of this. Even if you were actually cooking them, it's easy enough to
change the power level accordingly. But there's no reason to reduce the
maximum power available. When
you just want to heat something rapidly, you need as much power as possible.

Again, it's ALREADY cooked and crisped. If you were actually cooking it, you
can turn the grill or oven function on on your microwave simultaneously.

An microwave? Perhaps it was in an hotel? You sound like a Monty Python

Are you gay or something? I've just eaten some instant mash potato, tastes
just like real potatos and took only 4 minutes to make, instead of a whole
fucking hour while I starve to death.
