Cooking at different cook powers

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