How can I bake using the microwave?!


Question: How can I bake using the microwave!?
Before you tell me that it's impossible to cook anything decently in a microwave, let me just explain my circumstances!. I'm an exchange student in Thailand!. My host family's kitchen consists of a stove top and a microwave!. I'd like to be able to make some american food (preferably desserts, i!.e!. cakes and cookies) in the microwave!. Now normally I would use an oven!. BUT, I don't have one and cannot buy one!.

So, please, some recipes for microwave and stove top baking would be great!Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Cakes might be a bit hard because they really require a hot dry heat- wheas a microwave makes things hot by making water molecules bounce around!. How about making pancakes (on stove scones) on the stovetop with some nutella or stewed fruit or something!. Its not using the microwave but its sort of cakey!.
You can poach apples and pears in the microwave by covering them in brown sugar and a blob of butter and putting it on high for a few minutesWww@FoodAQ@Com

There are microwave cookbooks that you can buy!

I would reccomend buying a microwave cookbook over the internet, because you really wont have much luck finding one in Thailand thats printed in english and also has American recipes!.

I have cooked a cake in a microwave, but it turned out quite rubbery and dry!. I havent tried cookies yet!.
