k4Mable power levels add flexibili W to microwave
cooking. The power levels on the microw, tvc oven can
be compared to the surtace units on a range. Each
power level gives you microwave energy a certain
percent of the time.
Power level 7 is microw, tvc energy
70% of the time. Power level 3 is energy
3()% of
the
time. Most cooking will be done
on High (power level 10)
which g_ves you 100% powe*: Power level 10 will cook
tipster but tbod m_ W need more fl'equent stirring,
rotating or turning oven A lower setting will cook more
evenly and need less stirring or rotating of the toed.
Some R)ods m W have better flavo_, texture or
appearance if one of the lower settings is used. Use
a lower power level when cooking %ods that have a
tendency to boil ovc_, such as scalloped potatoes.
P,est periods (when the microwave energy
cycles off)
give time R)r the R)od to "equalize" or tmnstcr heat to
the inside of the toed. An example of this is shown with
power level 3--the
defl'ost cycle. If microwave energy
did not cyvle off; the outside of the tbod would cook
heR)re the inside was deflosmd.
