Changing Power Levels
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. Power level Hi
or full power is the fastest wag to cook and
gives gou 100% poweE Each power level
gives you microwave energg a certain
percent of the time. Power level7 is
microwave energy 70% of the time. Power
level 3 is energg 30% of the time.
A high setting will cook faster but food
mag need more frequent stirring, rotating
or turning oveEMost cooking will be done
on power level Hi.A lower setting will cook
more evenlg 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.
Restperiods (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 level3-the defrost cgcle. If
microwave energg did not cgcle off, the
outside of the food would cook before the
insidewas defrosted.
Here are some examples of uses for
various power levels:
