You can make a 12 minute cake in the Batter Bowl in the microwave!

Did you put icing or anything in the mix, or just bake the cake?

 

[ShanaSmith]

I am glad to hear that it worked!

 

[Chozengirl]

I made the 3-2-1 recipe.
Just regular, cheap $1 box of white cake mix.
VERY DELICIOUS!

They only thing would scare me about doing this is the variety of temperatures in microwaves. The glass could crack or break on you.

I put it on for 6 mins, turned it at 3, then turned it when it finished.
Put it on for another 6 mins & repeated the steps above.

I thought the batter bowls were microwave safe?

I thought the batter bowls were microwave safe?

I think you are right. This is what it says on the use & care card:
Features & Benefits: Imperial and metric measurements are listed on the bowl in raised numbers that will not wear off;
Batter bowls (without lids) can be used in gas, electric or microwave ovens for baking or heating; bowls may be used in
the refrigerator or freezer for added versatility. Handle and spout make grasping, mixing and pouring easy. Ideal for
storing food because contents can be seen through clear class. Lid enables food storage in the bowl.

The batter bowls are tempered, so they're safe to use in micro and regular ovens. The batter wouldn't heat up fast enough to cause thermal shock. Besides, the inside of a microwave doesn't actually warm up, except with residual heat coming off the item being cooked.This has been another useless fact from the brain of Ann.

 

[pampchefrhondab]

That's great to know. I had a past customer who said her batter bowl did shatter when she took it out of the microwave, but she was melting wax I believe for candles. I told her at the time the wax probably got too hot and she belived that as well and wasn't upset w/PC.

 

[chefann]

It could shatter if she set it down on a cold or wet item, just like stoneware. Wax gets really hot, so the bowl would be hot, too. Setting it on a room-temp counter top would shock it. ALWAYS set a hot item on a hot pad/trivet!

Okay, how do you make the cake in the microwave? I've made them in the oven. I love my batter bowl

Is there any taste difference between doing them in the microwave or oven?

 

[chefann]

There's not so much a taste difference as a texture difference. Micro cakes are a little more rubbery (for lack of a better word).
