COOKING AT DIFFERENT COOK POWERS

The following chart gives the percentage of cook

power each Number pad stands for, and the cook

power name usually used. It also tells you when to

use each cook power. Follow recipe or food package

instructions if available.

For best results, some recipes call for different cook

powers. The lower the cook power, the slower the

cooking. Each Number pad also stands for a

different percentage of cook power. Many

microwave cookbook recipes tell you by number,

percent, or name which cook power to use. NOTE: Refer to a reliable cookbook for cooking times.
