Generally the following recommendations apply:
P100/90
- (HIGH output = 700/630W) used
for fast cooking or reheating e.g. for casse-
roles, hot beverages, vegetables etc.
P-80/70
- (MEDIUM HIGH output = 560/490W)
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.
P-60/50
- (MEDIUM output = 420/350W) for
dense foods which require a long cooking
time when cooked conventionally, eg. beef
casserole, it is advisable to use this power set-
ting to ensure the meat will be tender.
P-40/30
- (MEDIUM LOW output = 280/210W
Defrost setting) to defrost, select this power
setting, to ensure that the dish defrosts even-
ly. This setting is also ideal for simmering rice,
pasta, dumplings and cooking egg custard.
P-20/10
- (LOW output = 140/70W) For gen-
tIe defrosting, eg. cream gateaux or pastry.
