Variable power levels add flexibility to microwave cooking. The power
levels on the microwave oven can be compared to the surface units
on a range. Each power level gives you microwave energy a certain
percentage of the time. Power level 7 is microwave energy 70%
of the time. Power level 3 is energy 30% of the time. Most cooking
will be done on High (power level 10) which gives you 100% power.
Power level 10 will cook faster but food may need more frequent
stirring, rotating or turning over. A lower setting will cook more evenly
and need less stirring or rotating of the food. Some foods may have
better flavor, texture or appearance if one of the lower settings
is used. Use a lower power level when cooking foods that have a
tendency to boil over, such as scalloped potatoes.
Rest periods (when the microwave energy cycles off) give time for
the food to “equalize” or transfer heat to the inside of the food. An
example of this is shown with power level 3³WKHGHIURVWF\FOH,I
microwave energy did not cycle off, the outside of the food would
cook before the inside was defrosted.
Here are some examples of uses for various power levels:
High 10: Fish, bacon, vegetables, boiling liquids.
Med-High 7: Gentle cooking of meat and poultry;
baking casseroles and reheating.
Medium 5: Slow cooking and tenderizing for stews and less tender
cuts of meat.
Low 2 or 3: 'HIURVWLQJVLPPHULQJGHOLFDWHVDXFHV
Warm 1: Keeping food warm; softening butter.
