I LOVE my deep covered baker!!! I'm doing a power cooking demo tomorrow, and want to do the boneless/skinless chicken in the dcb in the microwave instead of the stove (I've only done whole birds- never breasts or thighs)......I heard 7 min per pound......do you have the lid on or off? Thanks!!!
 
Re: DcbI would think having the lid ON would be best. Let us know how it works.
 
Re: DcbI agree with Holly lid on sounds like it would be best. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
 
Re: DcbCooking directions for pork tenderloin with chicken breast substitute below.

Cover baker; microwave on HIGH 6-10 minutes or until Pocket Thermometer registers 150°F, checking temperature at 6 minutes and then at every 2-minute interval. Remove baker from microwave; let stand, covered, 10 minutes (temperature will rise to 160°F for medium doneness). Prepare sandwiches or salad, if desired.

Four boneless, skinless chicken breasts (4-6 ounces each) can be substituted for the pork tenderloin. Microwave as directed, testing for doneness in thickest part of breast until Pocket Thermometer registers 170°F and no longer pink in center. Remove chicken from baker; let stand 5 minutes.
 
Re: DcbI always cook my chicken parts and pork tenderloin with the cover on.
