khriable power levels add fle_biliP, ' to
lllici'ow;ive cooking. Tile power levels on
tile IllicI't)_;Ive oven can be COIlll)aI'ed to
tile surfilce units on a range. Each power
level gives you microwave enei W a certain
percent of the time. Powerlevel 70is
microwave energy 70% ot tile time. Power
level 30 is eneigy 30% of the time. Most
cooking will be done on HI which gives you
100% poweI: HI power level will cook tipster
but fl)od may need more fl'equent stirring,
rotating or turning ovei: A lower setting
will cook more evenly and need less stirring
or rotating ot tile fi)od. Some fi)ods may
have better fla\'m; texture or appearance
if one of the lower settings is used. Use a
lower power level when cooking toods
that have a tendency to boil oveI, such as
scalloped potatoes.
Rest periods (when tile microwave energy'
cycles off) give time fi)r tile tood to
"equalize" or transter heat to the inside
of tile fi)od. An example of this is shown
with power level 30--the defl'ost cycle,
If microwave ener_ did not cvcle ofl_
tile outside of tile %od would cook betore
the inside was deti'osted.
