Overview

• In an Epicurious YouTube video, Uskokovic demonstrates using reduced power for more control and consistency when microwaving.
• She says 50% power for one minute equates to roughly 30 seconds on and 30 seconds off during the cycle.
• A microwave-baked chocolate cake at 50% was shown to be evenly cooked from edge to centre in her demonstration.
• Uskokovic calls the power setting the most underrated button and recommends it for ultra-precise cooking.
• UK coverage from the Mirror and Daily Record highlights the tip and cites Cookology’s Andrew Wright on common mistakes such as unsafe containers, not stirring or rotating, sealing too tightly, poor hygiene, and storing items on the microwave.
