Time scales by 100 ÷ power. 50% takes twice as long. 10% takes ten times as long.

Every time above delivers the same energy as 2 min at full power. Most ovens reach a lower setting by cycling full power on and off, so the food heats in bursts rather than a gentler continuous simmer. Rounded to the nearest second. The exact match is shown when it is not a whole second.
