For best results, some recipes call for
different cook powers. The lower the cook
power, the slower the cooking. Each
Number pad also stands for a different
percentage of cook power. Many microwave
cookbook recipes tell you by number,
percent, or name which cook power to use.
The following chart gives the percentage of
cook power each Number pad stands for,
and the cook power name usually used. tt
also tells you when to use each cook power.
Follow recipe or food package instructions if
available.
NOTE: Refer to a reliable cookbook for
cooking times
