Cooking
at different
cook
powers
The following chart gives the percentage of cook
power each Number pad stands for, and the cook
power name usually used. It also tells you when to
use each cook power. Follow recipe or food package
instructions if available.
For best results, some recipes call for different cook
powers. The lower the cook power, the slower the
cooking. Each Number pad also stands for a
different percentage of cook power. Many
microwave
cookbook
recipes tell you by number,
percent, or name which cook power to use.
NOTE: Refer to a reliable cookbook for cooking times.
