DIRECTIONS FOR MICROWAVE COOKING
HI-POWER/MULTI-POWER COOKING
"HI" is the highest cooking power possible with your microwave oven. It is the best setting for cooking foods that have
high water content, such as coffee, or soups or foods that need fast cooking to maintain their natural flavor and texture,
i;ke fish, vegetables, and most casseroles.
But "HI" power cooking does not always give you the best results with foods that need slow cooking, such as roasts,
baked goods, or custards. Your oven has 9 power settings in addition to "HI". The cookbook tells you which power
setting to use for the food you are cooking. In addition, the Cooking Guide for Multi-Power Settings gives you some
examples of foods that you would cook at each power level. Follow the directions below to cook at any power level.
Example: You are warming 6 doughnuts at power level "8" for 1-1/2 minutes.
