Does anyone knows how to bake a cake or cookies using the MICROWAVE OVEN?
Is it possible to bake a cake, cookies or brownies using a microwave oven? Can anyone give me the recipe and instructions if you have one? Thanks! & anyway, i'm using a National Microwave Oven...
Answers:
NO-BAKE COOKIES (MICROWAVE)
2 c. sugar
1/4 lb. (1 stick) butter
1/2 c. cocoa
1/2 c. milk
3 c. quick cooking oatmeal
1 c. coconut or peanut butter
In 2-quart casserole, combine sugar and cocoa. Stir in milk, then add butter, cut into pieces. Cook on high for 3 minutes, uncovered, or until boiling. Stir, then cook 3 minutes on high, stirring every minute. Add oatmeal and coconut (or peanut butter or enough of both to measure 1 cup). Cook on high 1 minute. Drop by spoonfuls onto wax paper to harden.
If it is a warm or humid day, or you're in a hurry, they may need to be refrigerated to harden.

I thinks an oven's just all round better, though.
I actually make a pineapple upside-down cake in the microwave and it's great! so it is possible :-)
Does your microwave have grill function. If yes use it. Or else change the micro. If not, then order home delivery from Wengers.
put cake mix inside and swich on the grill
There are many websites that are devoted to microwave cooking.
