Abstract
A method and apparatus for stewing and simmering food in a microwave oven wherein the control causes energization of the microwave generator for a preselected period of time at a preselected low power level correlated with other power levels in the overall heating of the food, including a start-heating, a continued-cooking, and keep-warm cycle. The simmering operation is initiated automatically upon the sensing of the food reaching a temperature slightly below the boiling temperature. The control is selectively operable to provide different times of simmering, as desired by the user.
