Variable power levels add flexibility
to your microwave cooking. The pow-
er levels on your microwave oven can
be compared to the surface units on
a range. High (Power Level 10) or
full power is tile fastest way to cook
and gives you 100% power. Each
power level gives you microwave
energy a certain percent of tile time.
Power Level 7 is microwave energy
70% of the time. Power Level 3 is
energy 30% of the time.
A high setting (10) will cook faster
but food may need additional atten-
tion such as frequent stirring, rotat-
ing or turning over. Most of your
cooking will be done on High (Power
Level 10). A lower setting will cook
more evenly and with less attention
given to stirring or rotating the food.
Some foods may have better flavor,
texture or appearance if one of the
lower settings is used. You maywish
to use a lower power level when cook-
ing foods that have a tendency to boil
over, such as scalloped potatoes.
Rest periods (when the microwave
energy cycles oft) give time for the
fbod to "equalize" or transfer heat
to the inside of the food. An example
of this is shown with Power Level 3--
the defl_ost cycle. If microwave ener-
gT did not cycle off; the outside of the
food would cook before the inside
was defl_osted.
