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. High power (power
level 10) or full power is the fastest way
to cook and gives you 100% power. 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,
Power Level 10 will cook faster but food
may need more frequent stirring, rotating or
turning over. A lower setting wilt 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 off) give time for the food to "equalize"
or transfer heat to the inside of the food. An
example of this is shown with power level
3--the defrost cycle. If 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 1@ Fish, bacon, vegetables,
boiling liquids.
Power Level 7: Gentle cooking of meat and
poultry; baking casseroles and reheating.
Power Level 5: Stow cooking and tenderizing
for stews and less tender cuts of meat.
Power Level 2 or 3: Defrosting without
cooking; simmering; delicate sauces.
Power Level 1: Keeping food warm without
overcooking; softening butter.
