Has anyone microwaved these dips (Stoneware Inspiration p21)??
It says to bake them for 22-25 minutes...but I just don't do that in the summer...but I love the Fiesta Chicken Dip (YUM) and want to make it at shows in July....

Ya know that Chicken Curry Dip...in a SBRC with golden raisins, chicken curry, cream cheese, etc..it's so yummy... and it can be baked or microwaved...until heating through...So I'm thinking this would be the same...???
Whadya think??
 
I've used the micro to reheat the Crab Rangoon Dip, and it was fine. So I don't see why you couldn't use the micro for the initial cook.
 



I haven't personally microwaved these dips, but I have seen others do it successfully. It's definitely a convenient option for the summer when you don't want to turn on the oven. As long as you follow the instructions and make sure the dip is heated through, I think it should turn out just as delicious as baking it. Plus, the Chicken Curry Dip sounds amazing! I might have to give that a try myself. Let us know how it turns out if you do end up microwaving it. Happy dipping!
