he compared to the surli_ce umts on a l_ange. Each
power level gives you microwave energy a certain
percent of the time. Power level 7 is microwave energ}'
70% of the time. Powerlevel3 is energ T 30% of the
time. Most cooking will be &me on High (power level 10)
which gives you 100% power: Power level 10 will cook
tipster but t_)od m_g need more ti'equent stirting,
rotating or turning ()vet: A lower setting will cook more
evenly and need less stirring or rotating of the toDd.
Some t()ods m W have better flmxm text/ire or
appem_,mce if one of the lower settings is used. Use
a lower power level when cooking tk)ods that Nwc a
tendency m boil ovec such as scalloped potatoes.
Rest periods (when the microwave energ T c)vles eli)
give time t_)r the t_)od to "equalize" or t*;msicr heat to
the inside of the tk)od. An exmnple of this is shown with
power level _-the deJi'ost cycle. If microwave energy
(lid not cycle ott; the outside of the t[)od would cook
