HI-POWER/MULTI-POWER COOKING
"HI'' is the highest cooking power possible with your microwave oven. It is the best setting tor cooking foods that have
high water content, such as coffee, or soups or foods that need fast cooking to maintain their natural flavor and texture,
ike fish, vegetables, and most casseroles.
But "HI" power cooking does not always give you the best results with foods that need slow cooking, such as roasts, 
baked goods, or custards. Your oven has 9 power settings in addition to "HI". The cookbook tells you which power 
setting to use for the food you are cooking. In addition, the Cooking Guide for Multi-Power Settings gives you some 
examples of foods that you would cook at each power level. Follow the directions below to cook at any power level.
