Changing Power Levels
The power level may be entered or
changed immediately after entering
the feature time for TIME COOK or
TIME DEFROST. The power level may also
be changed during time countdown.
Variable power levels odd flexibility to
microwave cooking. The power levels on
the microwave oven can be compared
to the surface units on a range. 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.
A high setting will cook faster but food
may need more frequent stirring, rotating
or turning over. Most cooking will be done
on power level 10. 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. Use o 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:
