Variable power levels add flexibility m microwave
cooking. The power levels on lhe microwave oven can
be compared
to the surface milts on a Fange. Each
power level gwes you microwave energy a certain
percent of the time. Power level 7 is tni( rowave en elw/
70% of the time. Powerlevel3
is energy 30% of the
dine. Most cooking will be done on High (power level 10)
which gives you 100% power. Powerleve110 will cook
{kster but fbod may need more frequent sdn-ing,
rotating or mining over. A lower setting will c_)ok more
evenly and need less stirring or rotadng of dee fi)od.
Some fi)ods may have better flavor, texture or
appearance
if one of din lower settings is used. Use
a lower power level when cooking fi)ods that have a
tendem T to boil over, such as scalloped potatoes.
Rest periods (when the microwave energy cycles off)
give dine fi)r tim {bod to "equalize" or mansibr heal to
the inside of dee fbod. An example of this is shown with
power level3-dae
deii-ost cycle. If microwave enmgy did
not cycle ofI_dee outside of din fbod would _ook beibre
the inside was defrosted.
