Power Level Cooking Guide
Your microwave oven offers various cooking power levels for optimum cooking results.
High (power level 10) or full power is the fastest way to cook and supplies microwave energy
100% of the time.
The other power levels supply microwave energy for a certain percentage of time. For example,
power level 7 supplies microwave energy throughout 70% of the set cooking time. Most of your
cooking will be done on High (Power Level 10). A lower setting will cook more evenly, requiring
less attention given to stirring or rotating the food. Some foods may have better flavor, texture
or appearance if one of the lower settings is used. You may wish to use a lower power level
when cooking foods that have a tendency to boil over, such as scalloped potatoes. The times
required to fully cook food will tend to lengthen as a result of using lower power levels.
