Cooking at lower Cook Powers
For best results, some recipes call for lower Cook Powers. The lower the Cook Power, the
slower the cooking. Each Number Pad on your microwave oven stands for a different
percentage of Cook Power. Many recipes in your MICRO MENUS* Cookbook tell you, by
number, which Cook Power to use. Recipes in other books and magazines may tell you
by name (HI, MED, LO, etc.) or percentage [IO%, 50%, 80%, etc.).
The following chart gives You the percentage of Cook Power each Number Pad stands
for, and Cook Powername usually used. -
