Microwave cooking at lower cook powers

For best results, some recipes call for lower Cook Powers. The lower the Cook Power, the slower the cooking. Each Number Pad also stands for a different percentage of Cook Power. Many microwave cookbook recipes tell you by number, percent or name which Cook Power to use.

The following chart gives the percentage of Cook Power each Number Pad stands for, and the Cook Power name usually used. It also tells you when to use each Cook Power.
