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.

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.

NOTE: Refer to a reliable cookbook for

cooking times.
