ice-cold in the middle? Or how about a reheated slice of pizza that turns into a soggy mess? Adjusting the power level can help mitigate these kitchen disasters. Lower power levels allow heat to penetrate food more evenly, which is especially beneficial for delicate items like fish or for reheating leftovers.
Chicken isn’t the only culprit, either – there are a few other foods you shouldn’t reheat in the microwave that are worth knowing before you hit start.
So, how do you use this magical button? To adjust the power level on a microwave, choose a number from 1 to 10 or a percentage of full power, like 50%. Here’s a simple guide: Most microwaves have a “Power Level” button that you press, followed by a number or percentage. For example, you might press “Power Level” and then “5” for 50% power, or “7” for 70% power.
