Variable power levels add flexibilitg to microwave cooking.
The power levelson the microwave oven can be
compared to the surface units on a range. Each power
level gives gou microwave energg a certain percent of the
time. Power level 7 is microwave energg 70% of the time.
Power level 3 is energg 30% of the time. Most cooking will
be done on High (power level 10) which gives gou !00%
power. Power level 10 will cook faster but food mag need
more frequent stirring, rotating or turning over. A lower
setting will cook more evenlg and need lessstirring or
rotating of the food. Some foods mag have better flavor,
texture or appearance if one of the lower settings is used.
Usea lower power level when cooking foods that have
a tendency to boil over, such as scalloped potatoes.
Rest periods (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 powerlevel
3-the defrost cgcle. If microwave energg did not cgcle off,
the outside of the food would cook before the inside was
defrosted.
Hereare some examples of uses for various power levels:
High 10: Fish,bacon, vegetables, boiling liquids.
Med-High 7: Gentle cooking of meat and poultry;
baking casseroles and reheating.
Medium 5: Slow cooking and tenderizing for stews and
lesstender cuts of meat.
Low 2 or 3: Defrosting; simmering; delicate sauces.
Warm 1: Keepingfood warm; softening butter.
