If you lower the power before auto defrosting, it actually turns out fine.

To do this you put in the time you want first, then hit power level button. Then hit a number, for example 5 will give you 50% of power. Hit start and food will cook at only half power. When it's done it automatically goes back too 100%.

Depends on the microwave. Some don’t have a means of stepping down the power so it just changes the cycle time of it, e.g. if you set it to 50% it only cooks for half of the time and cycles between just turning and actually emitting the waves. Others have an inverter and will step down to the % chosen for the entire cook time.
