Variable power levels add flexibility to microwave
cooking. The power levels on tim microwave oven can be
compared to tim surthce unils on a range. Each po_r
level gives you microwave energ Ta certain percent of lbe
time. Powerlevel7 is microwave energy 70% of the time.
Powerlevel3 is energ T30% of lbe time. Most cooking
_dll be done on High(powerlevellO)which gives you
]00% power. Powerlevel 10will cook ias/er but ibod
may need more flequent stining, relating or mining
over. A lower setting xdll cook more evenly and need less
sdning or rotating of tim tbod. Some tbods m W have
better flavor, texture or appearance ifone of tim lower
setlings is used. Use
a lower po_r level when cooking R)ods that have a
tendency to boil over, such as scalloped potatoes.
Rest periods (when tim microwave energ Tcycles off)
