Microwave Power Levels |

Most recipes in this site were tested in
650- to 700-watt microwave ovens with variable power levels. If you own
a lower-wattage oven, you can still count on terrific results if you
increase the cooking time of the recipe, check it, and then add more
cooking time if necessary. If you are using a higher wattage oven,
you'll need to decrease the cooking time slightly. A
microwave oven's power levels control the percentage of power
introduced into the oven cavity and automatically cycle the power on
and off. Lower power levels cook food more slowly; higher power levels
cook food faster. Of course, power levels can vary, depending on the
brand of oven. The power levels in the ovens we used follow. If the
levels in your oven are different from these, the recipe may need to be
adjusted. High (100%) |
