Variable power levels add exibility 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 needs less stirring or rotating of the
food. Some foods may have better avor, 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
o) 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 o, 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.
