I've never had an issue, so I'm guessing it works the same.

I was taught to cook when microwaves were still considered the greatest invention of mankind, so I've always adjusted to suit whatever I'm cooking. It used to be really common in microwave recipes to start out at 50% and cook things a bit longer (like roasts), then uncover the food and blast it the last few minutes. Most recipes after 1990 or so just nuke everything on 100% and ignore power levels, and it makes a huge difference in how things cook.

You adjust the power level lower, not higher.

Though if you figure out how to overclock your nuker, lemme know. I have some ideas...good ideas, really, I swear...
