Microwave oven power is measured in watts and indicates the intensity of which your oven will cook. Learn to relate your microwave "percentages of power" to your conventional "degrees of heat."
Based on a microwave with 650-800 watts of power, the scale below shows how you can learn to relate your microwave "percentages of power" to your conventional oven's "degrees of heat."
All heat measurements are in Fahrenheit.
| 100 - 90% power | 425 - 500 degrees, deep fat fry, broil or stove-top burner on "high" |
| 80% | 375 - 425 degrees |
| 70% | 350 - 375 degrees or medium-high on stove-top |
| 60 - 50% | 300 - 350 degrees or medium on stove-top |
| 40 - 30% | 225 - 300 degrees or medium-low on stove-top |
| 20% | 200 - 225 degrees |
| 10% | 150 - 200 degrees or lowest setting on stove-top |
