Variable power levels add flexibilit_ to yore"
microwave cooking. Tile power levels on your
l/licrowilve ()veil can
be
coi//pilred to
tile
stlrfime 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 tile time. Most cooking will be done on
High (power level 10) which gives you
100% power.
Power level 10 will cook thster but tk/od may
need more fl'equent stirring, rotating or
turning over. A lower setting will cook m ore
evenly and need less stirring or rotating of
tile fi/od.
Some Ibods may have better flavor, texture or
appearance if one of tile lower settings is used.
Use a lower power level when cooking foods
that have a tendency to boil ovel; such as
scalloped potatoes.
Rest periods (when the microwave energy
cvcles off) give time tbr the tbod to "equalize"
or transtbr heat to tile inside of the t_/od. An
example (if this is shown with p(nver level 3--
the defrost cycle. If microwave energy did not
cycle oil tile outside of the fk/od would cook
be%re tile inside was defrosted.
