Does the larger item absorb more of the microwaves to prevent the smaller one from over cooking? Example for breakfast today in my small 700 watt oven: 2 cooked sausage links I would normally heat for 40 seconds at 70% and 1/4 lb of cooked hashbrowns I'd heat for 1 min 30 seconds at 70%. I heated them together for 1 min 45 seconds at 70% and they turned out perfect. Why didn't the sausages overcook as you might think if heating them so long?
Microwave time when microwaving 2 things at once?

The sausages were getting bombarded by less energy per second since the large item was also soaking it up. Lower intensity/longer time = higher intensity/shorter time.
OK that make sense.

Lots to do with moisture content of each food
I have a Breville Quick Touch Microwave and it is amazing! Things my Panasonic could do, but I could not because it was complicated, with this unit it's a breeze. It measure moisture as well when cooking or heating and I get results that I never dreamt before.
Do a google search. BTW I have no shares nor am I affiliated with the company.

Mine is a 27 year old GE that I custom mounted under cabinet. Still going strong.
