level gives you microwave
energy a certain percent of
the time. Power level 7 is
microwave energy 70% of
the time. Power level .B is
energy 30% of the time.
A high setting (10) will
cook faster but fi_od may
need more fl-equent
stirring, rotating or turning
over. Most cooking will be
done on High (power level
10). A lower setting will
cook more evenly and
need less stirring or
rotating of the fbod.
Some foods may have
better flavor; texture or
appeat_ance if one of the
h)wer settings is used. Use
a lower power level when
cooking tbods that have a
tendency to boil over, such
as scalloped potatoes.
Rest periods (when the
microwave energy cycles
off) give time tbr the food
14
to "equalize" or Wanst;t,r
heat to the inside of the
tbod. An example of this is
shown with power level ?_---
the defrost cycle, If micro-
wave energy did not cycle
off; the outside of the fbod
would cook betbre the
inside was defl-osted.
