microwave cooking. The power levels on
the microwave oven can be compared to
the surface units on a range. 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. Most
cooking will be done on HI which gives you
100% power. HI power level (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.
