Variable power levels add flexibilitg to
microwave cooking.The power levels on
the microwave oven can be compared to
the surface units on a range. Each power level
gives you microwave energg a certain
percent of the time. Powerlevel 7 is
microwave energg 70% of the time. Power
level 3 is energg 30% of the time. Host
cooking will be done on High (power level 10)
which gives gou 100% power.A high setting
(10)will cook faster, but food mag need more
frequent stirring, rotating or turning ovenA
lower setting will cook more evenly and need
less stirring or rotating of the food. Some
foods mag 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 tendencg to boil over,such
as scalloped potatoes.
Rest periods (when the microwave energg
cgcles 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 cgcle. If microwave energg did not
cgcle off, the outside of the food would cook
before the inside was defrosted.
Here ore some exomples of uses for various
power levels:
High 10: Fish,bacon, vegetables, boiling
liquids.
Med-High 7: Gentle cooking of meat and
poultrg; baking casseroles and reheating.
Medium 5: Slow cooking and tenderizing
for stews and less tender cuts of meat.
