Converting Dcb Microwave Directions for Oven Use

[msmileyface]

Hi everyone,

I have a friend who purchased a DCB. She does not like microwave cooking (she is admittedly paranoid for no reason!) and asked if I could help her figure out how to make some of the awesome microwave recipes in the oven. Does anyone know how to do this or have the information? I will also ask her which recipes she is interested in and post them tomorrow..

Thanks!:love:

In the new DCB Cookbook there is a helpful chart in the back. Check it out maybe that will help.

I did a couple shows in Jan. making the LBPC where my host didn't have a microwave big enough. I did the potatoes in the oven, 375, for 25 minutes, then switched them, back in oven for 20minutes. Added the milk/cream cheese for 15 minutes. It worked fabulously, in fact it made the potatoes more "baked" with a bit more crunch to the skins. All the other directions are the same as microwaved.

Anyone else have any conversion tips? The chart is helpful for sure, just looking for more guidance if anyone has it

I guess it really depends on what she makes. Some of the soups and stuff can be started on the stove top and baked in the oven - sort of like a crockpot. Other stuff she'll probably just have to play around with.I made the Family Burrito Bake last night and used the stove top/oven directions. It was still fast and simple just took longer to make. I've also done the Mexican Chicken Lasagna in the oven. Assembled as directed and put in the oven until done.

How long did you bake the chicken lasagna? I have been eyeing that recipe up.
