3 Turn the dial clockwise to increase and counterclockwise to decrease the power level. Press the dial to enter.

4 Press the Start/Pause button to start cooking.

Variable power levels add flexibility to 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 High (Power Level 10) which gives you 100% power. 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. Some foods may have better flavor, texture or appearance if one of the lower settings is used. Use a 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 3³ 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:

High 10: Fish, bacon, vegetables, heating liquids.

Med-High 7: Gentle cooking of meat and poultry; baking casseroles and reheating.

Medium 5: Slow cooking and tenderizing for stews and less tender cuts of meat.

Low 2 or 3: Defrosting; simmering; delicate sauces.

Warm 1: Keeping food warm; softening butter.

Microwave terms.

Term

Definition

Arcing

Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by:

 

„ the metal shelf being installed incorrectly and touching the microwave walls.

 

„ metal or foil touching the side of the oven.

 

„ foil that is not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas).

 

„ metal such as twist-ties, poultry pins, gold-rimmed dishes.

 

„ recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces.

 

„ the turntable ring support being installed incorrectly.

 

 

Covering

Covers hold in moisture, allow for more even heating and reduce cooking time. Venting plastic wrap or

 

covering with wax paper allows excess steam to escape.

 

 

Shielding

In a regular oven, you shield chicken breasts or baked foods to prevent over-browning. When microwaving,

 

you use small strips of foil to shield thin parts, such as the tips of wings and legs on poultry, which would

 

cook before larger parts.

Standing Time When you cook with regular ovens, foods such as roasts or cakes are allowed to stand to finish cooking or to set. Standing time is especially important in microwave cooking. Note that a microwaved cake is not placed on a cooling rack.

Venting

After covering a dish with plastic wrap, you vent the plastic wrap by turning back one corner so excess

 

steam can escape.
