Variable power levels add flexibili b' U) microwm'e
cooking. The power levels on the microwm'e oven
can be compared u) the surii_ce units on a range.
Each power level gives you microwave energy a certain
percent of the time. Power level 7 is microwave energ_,i
70% of the time. Power level 3 is energy 30% of the
time. Most cooking will be done on
High(powerleve110)
which gixvs you 100% pt)_svl; Power level 10 will cook
tipster but tbod may need
more f_'equent stirring,
rotating or turning over. A lower setting will cook
more exvnly and need less stirring or rotating of the
tbod.
Some tbods may have better
fla_+m texture or
appem_ance if one of the lower settings is used.
Use a lower power level when cooking %ods that have
a mndency 1o boil over, such as scalloped potatoes.
Rest periods (when the microwm'c enerKs cycles off)
give time for the food 1o "equalize" or w, msfcr heat to
the inside of the %od. An example of this is shown with
power level 3_the
dei_'ost cycle. K microwm'e energy/
did not cycle off; the omside of the fbod would cook
1)efbre the inside was def_osmd.
