I would venture to guess that it would work fine in the microwave. One of my signature show recipes is the Hot Artichoke and Spinach Dip from the All The Best Cookbook, and the recipe calls for baking it in the small oval baker for 20-25 minutes or until heated through. Sometimes I'll put it in the micro for up to 10 minutes, depending on the microwave, and check on it. Works perfectly, and I always point out that the small oval baker can be used in the oven, micro, or toaster oven.
