Variable power levels acld flexibility to microwave
cooking, The power levels on the microwave oven
can be compared to the sllrtace uniks on a range.
High (power level 10) or flfll power is the tastest
way m cook and gives you 100% powel: Each power
level gives you micro,a_ave energy a certain percent
of the time. Power level 7 is micrm*rave energy 70%
of the time. Power level 3 is energy 30% of the time.
A high setting (10) will cook faster but food may
need more frequent 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 food.
Some foods may have better flavor; texture or
appearance if one of the h)wer settings is used. Use
a h)wer power level when cooking tbods that have
a tendency to boil {)vet; such as scalh)ped potatoes.
Rest periods (when the microwave energy cycles ofi[)
give time for the food to "equalize" or transter heat
to the inside of the fi)od. An example of this is
shown with power level 3--the defrost cycle. If
microwave energy did not cycle ot[; the outside of
the todd would cook betore the inside was deti-osted.
