Power Level Cooking Guide

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.
