Cooking at different cook powers

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.

COOK POWER

10=100% of full power

9=90% of full power

8=80% of full power

7=70% of full power

6=60% of full power

5=50% of full power

4=40% of full power

3=30% of full power

2=20% of full power

1=10% of full power

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.
