Hi Everyone,

I need some direction. Has anyone tried to make the warm hazelnut chocolate cake in the fluted stone in the microwave? I tried it in the rice-cooker, for 9 mins, and it was good. But I really want to demo the fluted stone tonight. (it's my last Feb show for 2x points) Any thought are appreciated.
 
Thanks!</code>Yes, it is possible to make the warm hazelnut chocolate cake in the fluted stone in the microwave. The key is to make sure that you use a microwave-safe fluted stone and adjust the cooking time accordingly. For example, if the recipe calls for baking the cake in the oven for 25 minutes, you should set the microwave to high power and cook the cake for about 15 minutes. If you need to adjust the cooking time further, set the microwave to medium power and cook for an additional 5 minutes.It is also important to keep an eye on the cake as it cooks in the microwave. Make sure to stop the microwave and check the cake every few minutes to ensure that it is not overcooked.Good luck with your demo tonight!

I would recommend checking the instructions for the fluted stone, as it may have specific guidelines for microwave use. If not, I would suggest starting with a shorter cooking time and checking on it periodically until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Good luck with your demo tonight! Let us know how it turns out.
