Variable power levelsadd flexibility to
microwave cooking.The power levelson the
microwave ovencan be compared to the
surface units on a range. Eachpower level gives
you microwave energy a certain percent ofthe
time. Powerlevel 7 ismicrowave energy 70%
of the time.Power level3 isenergy 30% of the
time. Most cooking will be done on High(power
level 10)which givesyou 100%power. Power
level10 will cook faster but food may need
more frequent stirring,rotating or turning over.
Alower setting will cook more evenlyand need
less stirring or rotating ofthe food. Somefoods
may have better flavor,texture or appearance
if one of the lower settings is used.Usea lower
power level when cooking foods that have
atendency to boilover,such as scalloped
potatoes.
Restperiods (whenthe microwave energy
cycles off) givetime for the food to "equalize"
or transfer heat to the inside of the food. An
example of this isshown with power level3-
the defrost cycle. Ifmicrowave energy did not
cycle off,the outside of the food would cook
before the insidewas defrosted.
Hereare someexamples of usesfor various
power levels:
High 10: Fish,bacon, vegetables, boiling liquids.
Meal-High 7: Gentle cooking of meat and
poultry; baking casseroles and reheating.
Medium 5: Slowcooking and tenderizing for
stews and lesstender cuts of meat.
Low2 or 3: Defrosting; simmering; delicate
sauces.
Warm 1: Keeping food warm; softening butter.
NOTE: Youcan also change thepower level
during many cookingmodes bypressing the
power level button entering a validpower level.
