Does anyone know what the conversion is for changing recipes for the DCB from the oven to the microwave?
 
It would depend on the specific recipe. Microwave cooking differs from oven cooking in how the food is heated, as well as moisture levels. Some microwave recipes for the DCB may not work at all in the oven, and vice-versa.
 
There is no exact conversion for changing recipes from the oven to the microwave, as the cooking times and temperatures vary greatly between the two methods. However, here are a few tips that may help:1. Reduce the cooking time: In general, cooking in the microwave is faster than cooking in the oven. So, if a recipe calls for 30 minutes in the oven, you may only need 10-15 minutes in the microwave.2. Adjust the power level: Most microwaves have different power levels, usually ranging from 1-10. Lower power levels will cook food more gently and evenly, while higher power levels will cook food faster. Experiment with different power levels to find the best one for your recipe.3. Use a microwave-safe dish: Make sure to use a dish that is safe for use in the microwave, such as glass or ceramic. Do not use metal or aluminum dishes.4. Stir or rotate the dish: Unlike ovens, microwaves cook food from the inside out. This means that the outer edges of your dish may cook faster than the center. To prevent this, stir the food or rotate the dish every few minutes.5. Use a thermometer: If you are cooking meat or other foods that require a specific internal temperature, use a meat thermometer to ensure that the food is cooked thoroughly.It may take some trial and error to find the perfect conversion for your specific recipe and microwave, so be patient and don't be afraid to experiment.
