Variable power levels add flexibility to microwave
cooking. The power levelson the microwave oven
can be compared to the surface units on a range.
Each power levelgives 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 High (power level 10)which
gives you 100% power. Power level 10 will cook faster but
food may need more frequent stirring, rotating or turning
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. Usea lower power level when cooking
foods that have a tendency to boil over,such as scalloped
potatoes.
Rest periods (when the microwave energy cycles 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 cycle. If microwave energy did not cycle 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.
Ned-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.
