Variable power levels add
flexibility to microwave
cooking, Tbe power levels
on the microwave oven can
be compared to the
surface units on a iange.
High (power level 10) or
fifll power is the fastest way
to cook and gives you
100% powel: Each power
level gives you microwave
energy a certain pezcent of'
the time, Power level 7 is
microwave energy 70% of
the time. Power level B is
energy .80% of the time.
A high setting (10) will
cook faster but tood may
need more fl'equent
stirring, rotating or turning
over. Most cooking will be
done on High (power level
10). A lower setting will
cook nlore evenly and need
less sti_ing or rotating of
the fbod.
to "equalize" o1' transl_er
beat to tbe inside of the
iood. An example of this is
sbown with power level 3--
tbe defl'ost cycle. If micro-
wave energy did not cycle
off, the outside of tbe fbod
would cook before fl*e
inside was defrosted,
Here are some examples
of uses ik)r various power
levels:
Some foods may have
better flavor, texture or
appem-ance if one of the
lower settings is used. Use
a lower power level when
cooking fbods tbat bave a
tendency to boil over, such
as scalloped potatoes.
