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%ofthetime.Powerlevel3isenergy30%ofthe
time. Most cooking will be done on HI which gives you
100%power.
PowerLevel10willcookfasterbutfoodmayneedmore
frequentstirring,rotatingorturningover.Alowersetting
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)
givetimeforthefoodto“equalize”ortransferheatto
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:
Power Level 10:Fish,bacon,vegetables,boilingliquids.
