Converting Recipes from Other Sources
When the recipe is written with a wattage different than
your oven, adjust the cooking time by approximately 10%
per 100 watts, e.g. 6 minutes would be adjusted by 36 sec-
onds. Alternately, adjust the power level by one level. If
your wattage is higher than the recipe: (1) Adjust time
downward or (2) Adjust power level downward. If your
wattage is lower than the recipe: (1) adjust time upward or
(2) adjust power level upward (when possible).
