Operating Basics
The power levels on your microwave oven can
be compared to the surface units on a range.
High (power level 10) or full power is the fastest
way to cook and gives you 100% power.
Each power level gives you microwave energy
for a certain percent of time, for example, power
level 7 is microwave energy 70% of the time.
Most of your cooking will be done on High
(Power Level 10). a lower setting will cook
more evenly and with 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. Cooking times will increase as power
level decreases.
Power Level Best Uses
High 10 Fish, bacon, vegetables,
boiling liquids.
Medium 7 Gentle cooking of meat and
Poultry, baking casseroles
and reheating.
Medium 5 Slow cooking and
tenderizing for stews
and less tender cuts of meat.
Low 3 Defrosting, simmering,
delicate sauces.
Warm 1 Keeping food warm without
overcooking, softening
butter.
