Variable
power
levels add
flexibility
to microwave
cooking.
The
power
levels
on the microwave
oven
can be compared
to the
surface
units
on a range.
Power
level Hi 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
30%
of the time.
A high
setting
will cook
faster
but food
may need
more
frequent
stirring,
rotating
or turning
over:
Most
cooking
will be done
on power
level Hi. A lower
setting
will cook
more
evenly
and need
less
stirring
or rotating
of
the food.
Some
foods
may have
better
flavor,
texture
or"
appearance
if one
of the
lower
settings
is used.
Use
a lower
power
level when
cooking
foods
that
have
a tendency
to boil over,
such
as scalloped
potatoes.
Rest periods
(when
the
microwave
energy
cycles
off) give time
for the food
to "equalize"
or transfer
heat to the inside of' the
food. An example
of this is
shown with power level 3--
the defrost cycle. If
microwave
energy did not
cycle off, the outside
of the
food would cook before
the inside was defrosted.
Here
are some
examples
of uses
for various
power'
levels:
