Generally the following recommendations apply:

P100 - (HIGH output = 800 W) used for fast cooking or reheating e.g. for casseroles, hot beverages, vegetables etc.

P80 - (MEDIUM HIGH output = 640 W ) used for longer cooking of dense foods such as roast joints, meat loaf and plated meals, also for sensitive dishes such as sponge cakes. At this reduced setting, the food will cook evenly without over cooking at the sides.

P50 - (MEDIUM output = 400 W) for dense foods which require a long cooking time when cooked conventionally, e.g. beef casserole, it is advisable to use this power setting to ensure the meat will be tender.

P30 - (MEDIUM LOW output = 240 W Defrost setting) to defrost, select this power setting, to ensure that the dish defrosts evenly. This setting is also ideal for simmering rice, pasta, dumplings and cooking egg custard.

P10 - (LOW output = 80 W) For gentle defrosting, e.g. cream gateaux or pastry.
