Variable power levels add flexibility to microwave
cooking. The power levels on the microwave oven
can be compared to the surface units on a range.
Each power level gives you microwave energy
a certain percent of the time. Power level 7 is
microwave energy 70% of the time. Power level
3 is energy 30% of the time. Most cooking will be
done on HI which gives you 100% power.
Power Level 10 will cook faster but food may
over. 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 lower settings is used.
Use a lower power level when cooking foods that
have a tendency to boil over, such as scalloped
potatoes.
Rest periods (when the microwave energy cycles
heat to the inside of the food. An example of this
is shown with power level 3
microwave energy did not cycle off, the outside
of the food would cook before the inside was
defrosted.
Here are some examples of uses for various
power levels:
Power Level 10: Fish, bacon, vegetables, boiling
Power Level 7: Gentle cooking of meat and
poultry; baking casseroles and reheating.
Power Level 5: Slow cooking and tenderizing for
