If a frozen ready meal states 9 minutes microwave cooking, how do I work out cooking time for two identical meals?

Do both fit in the microwave at the same time ?
Start at the recommended 9 minutes, test the temperature, nuke it for a few more minutes (2, 3 ) and test again.
If you have a rotary table inside, it will make thing easier, if not, move the 2 meals every couple of minutes.

1It's often worth rotating each meal if they're next to each other, so that the inside edge becomes the outside, and vice versa.– Chris HCommented Mar 16, 2020 at 13:23

1I'd imagine a regular domestic mic would take them one atop the other, in which case one will get hit a lot harder than the other. I'd swap them top for bottom halfway through the first 9 mins too.– TetsujinCommented Mar 16, 2020 at 13:34
I think 5 minutes for each will be enough. It also depends on the degree of freezing of the product.
