Generally the following recommendations apply:
100P/ 90P - (HIGH) used for fast cooking or reheating
e.g. for casseroles, hot beverages, vegetables etc.
80P/ 70P - (MEDIUM HIGH) 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.
60P/ 50P - (MEDIUM) 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.
40P/ 30P - (MEDIUM LOW) 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.
20P/ 10P - (LOW) For gentle defrosting, e.g. cream,
gateaux, or pastry.
