Varial)le power levels add
flexibili W to microwave
cooking. The power levels
on the microwave oven can
be compared to the
surface units on a range.
High (power level ]0) or
full power is the fastest way
to cook and gives you
100% power. 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 3()% of the time.
A high setting (l 0) will
cook thsmr but tood may
need more frequent
to "equalize" or/ranstcr
heat to the inside of the
food. An exan/pie of this
