Variable power levels add microwave flexibility to microwave cooking. The power level on the 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. 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. A high setting (10)will cook faster but food may need more frequent stirring, rotating or turning over. Most cooking will be done on High (power 10). 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 setting is used. Use a lower power level when cooking foods that have 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
Here are some examples of uses for various power level:
