Generally the following recommendations apply to
choose the power level for cooking:
100 P
(800 W ) used for fast cooking or reheating
e.g. soup, casseroles, canned food, hot beverages,
vegetables etc.
70 P
(560 W) used for longer cooking of dense foods
such as roast joints, meat loaf and plated meals, also
for sensitive dishes such as cheese sauce and sponge
cakes. At this reduced setting, the sauce will not boil
over and food will cook evenly without over cooking
at the sides.
50 P
(400 W) for dense foods which require a long
cooking time when cooked conventionally, e.g. beef
dishes, it is advisable to use this power setting to
ensure the meat will be tender.
30 P
(240 W Defrost setting) to defrost, select this
power setting, to ensure that the dish defrosts
evenly. This setting is also ideal for simmering rice,
pasta, dumplings and cooking egg custard.
10 P
(80 W) For gentle defrosting, e.g. cream gateaux
or pastry.
