    Sir, you just taught me something new and I am grateful to you. Some people think that couple of minutes instruction doesn't amount to anything, but it is not the time or what was about. It's the learning, more importantly, someone willingly to take the time out to share and teach you. What more can I ask from a stranger? Therefore, I am truly grateful. ✌

    Thanks. But how do you adjust the power level and MAKE IT STAY at that level until further notice? Are you saying that the power level has to be adjusted each and every time you want to cook something at less than PL10?

    It would be super duper cool to just be able to put the power setting that you want and keep it there!!!! Maybe an extra 50 cents per microwave to program it but it would be a great thing because I always like the power setting to be somewhere around seven or eight so the stuff doesn't get completely nuked

    Anyone watching this or reading this, the information in the video is misleading, refer to your actual Samsung microwave model manual, but according to the official Samsung manual, below are the actual meaning of the numbers for power level.
    1 = PL:10 (Warm)
    2 = PL:20 (Low)
    3 = PL:30 (Defrost)
    4 = PL:40 (Medium Low)
    5 = PL:50 (Medium)
    6 = PL:60 (Simmer)
    7 = PL:70 (Medium High)
    8 = PL:80 (Reheat)
    9 = PL:90 (Sauté)
    0 = PL:Hi (High)
    If you are not using the cooking modes, just using a specific time, Samsung microwave's default level is HIGH, if you want to use a different percentage of power, refer to info above.
    Power HIGH (highest power) is actually 0, power 9 is 90% power, and power 1 (PL:10) is actually only using 10% of power.
    Beware.

    So how to set temperatures in it

    • @tissuepaper9962
      @tissuepaper9962 Před 3 lety

      If you know the wattage of your microwave (and you're cooking food that's mostly water by weight, which is most food), you can use this formula:
      (final temperature) = (initial temperature) + [(power level)(wattage)(time in seconds)] / [(mass of the food in grams)(4.184 J/gC)]
      _OR_
      (change in temperature) = [(power level)(wattage)(time in seconds)] / [(mass of the food in grams)(4.184 J/gC)]
      _OR_
      (time in seconds) = [(change in temperature)(mass of the food in grams)(4.184 J/gC)] / [(power level)(wattage)]
      So if you were cooking a 500 gram piece of food in a 1000 W microwave at 50% power, and you want the temperature to go from 4C to 34C, the calculation would look like this:
      (change in temperature) = 30C
      (30C) = [(power level)(wattage)(time in seconds)] / [(mass of the food in grams)(4.184 J/gC)]
      (30C) = [(0.5)(1000W)(time in seconds)] / [(500g)(4.184 J/gC)]
      (time in seconds) = [(30C)(500g)(4.184 J/gC)] / [(0.5)(1000W)] = [62,760 J] / [500W] = 126 seconds = 2 minutes 6 seconds

  • @snaplash
    @snaplash Před 4 lety

    This is the FAST power level setting system. Two button presses for any level. Some junk ovens have a system where first press gives you 100%, then you have to press the button multiple times to step down. In these, if you need 20 percent for example, you need to press NINE times, for 100, 90, 80, 70, 60, 50, 40, 30, and finally, 20. And, half the time, you end up pressing one too many times and have to go all the way around again.
    Before buying a microwave oven, confirm that it has the two press power setting system shown in the video before buying.
