DCB in Microwave: Can I Cook 30-Minute Chicken?

[erinhoward]

I just got my new DCB and discovered that it will just fit in my microwave, but it won't rotate. I'll have to take the rotating thing out if I want to cook something in there. Does that matter if I'm doing something like the 30-minute chicken? Or will it not cook evenly?

I'm thinking it will probably be okay, but has anybody tried this?

Make sure you manually turn it. I made a microwave cake in a micro that didn't turn (I didn't realize it) and it burnt on one side! Ick! Burnt chocolate :-( So sad.....

Thanks!It's not ideal to use the DCB in a microwave that doesn't rotate, as the rotation helps to evenly distribute the heat and ensure that the food cooks evenly. Without the rotation, there is a higher chance that the food will cook unevenly and some parts may be undercooked while others are overcooked. If possible, it would be best to use the DCB in a microwave that rotates. However, if you do decide to use it in a non-rotating microwave, make sure to check on the food and stir/rotate it halfway through cooking to help ensure even cooking.
