** Microwaves vary in power. For example, higher wattage microwaves will require shorter bursts to prevent burning the flower (See page 3 in the manual). The times shown in the videos are examples only and work for the microwave being used. It may take practice to know how your microwave works. We recommend getting used to it using thinner flowers first, such as violas, pansies, etc. **
