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 percent 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 and some casseroles.
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
3—the defrost cycle. If 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 (100%): Fish, bacon, vegetables, boiling liquids.
Med-High 7 (70%): Gentle cooking of meat and poultry;
baking casseroles and reheating.
Medium 5 (50%): Slow cooking and tenderizing for stews
and less tender cuts of meat.
Low 2 or 3 (20 or 30%): Defrosting; simmering; delicate
sauces.
Warm 1 (10%): Keeping food warm; softening butter.
NOTE: You can also change the power level during many
cooking modes by pressing the power level button entering a
valid power level.
