FULL POWER
Energy on for approximately 100% of the time.
As the term implies, FULL POWER is the highest setting and will result in the fastest
cooking. FULL POWER is generally used for:
Fish
Vegetables
Fruits
Hot beverages
Some tender meats
Bacon
Preheating browning dishes
Melting butter
HIGH
Energy on for approximately 70% of the time.
This setting is used primarily for baking or roasting and for reheating previously cooked
foods. Foods retain more moisture on HIGH. Reducing the power means less stirring and
watching. Use HIGH for:-
to reheat leftovers
to warm pre-baked products (doughnuts, rolls, biscuits)
to roast joints
to cook some casseroles
to cook foods which contain cheese, cream sauce or sour cream.
MEDIUM
Energy on for approximately 50% of the time.
The MEDIUM setting is extremely versatile. It can be used for some defrosting and
roasting, as well as for simmering. Use for:-
Soups
Stews
Braised steak
Defrost whole chickens
Frozen casseroles (Defrost and reheat)
Chuck steak (boneless)
DEFROST
Energy on for approximately 30% of the time.
Even the DEFROST setting is more flexible than the name applies. It can be used for
cooking less tender cuts of meat, for softening cream cheese or butter, and for
simmering at an even slower rate than on MEDIUM, (see page 9).
LOW
Energy on for approximately 10% of the time.
Use for defrosting large joints very slowly and keeping foods warm for about Уг hour or
less.
