Microwave cooking in two or three stages
This basic microwave cooking method allows you to cook food for a desired time at different
power levels. In addition to the maximum power level, you can select from 10 different
microwave power levels, Hi W(900W) to 90W for the foods that require slower cooking.
Foods with high moisture content should be cooked on maximum power as this is the fastest
cooking method and best maintains the natural flavour and texture of the foods.
