I have started to compile a list of MICROWAVE only recipes for the DCB. I have all the ones from CC. I was wondering if anyone has tried something different. For example, I read somewhere that someone did a FROZEN roast in the DCB. I would love to send my customers a list of microwave only recipes since days have been really hot lately.
 
Any ideas?1. Microwave French Toast - Slice a loaf of bread, dip each slice into a mixture of egg, milk, sugar, and cinnamon. Place on a plate and microwave for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.2. Microwave Pizza - Spread pizza sauce, cheese, and desired toppings onto a prepared pizza dough. Cook in the microwave for 2-3 minutes or until cheese is melted.3. Microwave Macaroni and Cheese - Cook macaroni according to package instructions. In a separate bowl, mix together a can of condensed cheese soup, 1 cup of milk, and 1 cup of shredded cheese. Add the cooked macaroni and mix together. Place in a shallow dish and cook in the microwave for 4-5 minutes or until heated through.4. Microwave Baked Potatoes - Wrap a washed potato in a damp paper towel. Cook in the microwave for 5-7 minutes or until tender.5. Microwave Muffins - Mix together all your favorite muffin ingredients. Grease a muffin tin and fill each cup with batter. Cook in the microwave for 2-3 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.6. Microwave Lasagna - Layer cooked lasagna noodles, ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, and desired Italian seasonings in a large baking dish. Cover with foil and cook in the microwave for 10-12 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

If your microwave has a different wattage than the one specified in a recipe, you may need to adjust the cooking time. As a general rule, if your microwave is lower in wattage, increase the cooking time by about 10-20%. Conversely, if your microwave is higher in wattage, reduce the cooking time accordingly.

After using the DCB in the microwave, allow it to cool before cleaning. It is recommended to hand wash the DCB with warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge. Avoid using harsh detergents or putting it in the dishwasher, as this can damage the stoneware. Proper care will help maintain its non-stick surface and longevity.
