Variable power levels add flexibility to microwave
cooking. The power levels on tim microwave oven can be
compared to tim surthce unils on a range. Each po_r
level gives you microwave energ T a certain percent of lbe
time. Power level 7 is microwave energy 70% of the time.
Power level 3 is energ T 30% of lbe time. Most cooking
_dll be done on High(powerlevel lO)which gives you
] 00% power. Power level 10will cook ias/er but ibod
may need more flequent stining, relating or mining
over. A lower setting xdll cook more evenly and need less
sdning or rotating of tim tbod. Some tbods m W have
better flavor, texture or appearance if one of tim lower
setlings is used. Use
a lower po_r level when cooking R)ods that have a
tendency to boil over, such as scalloped potatoes.
Rest periods (when tim microwave energ T cycles off)
give lime tor tlae t()od lo "equal_e" or transter heat to
the inside of lbe toed. An example of Ibis is shoxm xdfla
power level 3-the deflost cycle. If microwave energy did
not cycle off; lbe outside of the toed xxxmldcook betore
the inside was deflosted.
