Generally the following recommendations apply:
P100 - (HIGH output = 900W) used for fast
cooking or reheating e.g. for casseroles, hot
beverages, vegetables etc.
P80 - (MEDIUM HIGH output = 720W) used
for longer cooking of dense foods such as
roast joints, meat loaf and plated meals,
also for sensitive dishes such as sponge
cakes. At this reduced setting, the food will
cook evenly without over cooking at the
sides.
P50 - (MEDIUM output = 450W) for dense
foods which require a long cooking time
when cooked conventionally, e.g. beef cas-
serole, it is advisable to use this power set-
ting to ensure the meat will be tender.
P30 - (MEDIUM LOW output = 270W) De-
frost setting to defrost, select this power set-
ting, to ensure that the dish defrosts evenly.
This setting is also ideal for simmering rice,
pasta, dumplings and cooking egg custard.
P10 - (LOW output = 90W) For gentle de-
frosting, e.g. cream gateaux or pastry.
