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 casserole, it is advisable to use
this power setting to ensure the meat will be tender.
P30 - (MEDIUM LOW output = 270W) 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.
P10 - (LOW output = 90W) For gentle defrosting, e.g.
cream gateaux or pastry.
