Delicacy.
Foods with a delicate texture, such as custards, are best cooked at lower power settings to avoid toughening.
Natural Moisture of food affects how it cooks. Very moist foods cook evenly because microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven in moisture should be covered or allowed to stand so it heats evenly.
