Power Level Cooking Guide

The power levels on your microwave oven can be com-

pared to the surface units on a range. HIGH (power level 10) or full power is the fastest way to cook and

givesyou 100% power.

Each power level gives you microwave energy for a cer- tain percent of time, for example, power level 7 is microwave energy 70% of the time. Most of your cook- ing 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 appearanceif 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 the power level decreases.
