whats your recipe? (share your tips/tricks in cooking)

  • Question is, may microwave ba na capable of baking simple food like mentioned above?

    nasubukan kna ito, pro ung mga nsa box pa lang ang natry ko like brownies, choco, vanilla cake. mpa moist pa sya o hindi. depende din sa microwave ung sa akin kc meron mga preset. pero natry kna dn like 80% power 7-10mins timer. ayos naman sya halos same lang din sa oven.
  • My microwave has a grill. But its pretty much only for browning the top of something. As in only one heating element on top so the cooking is via infra red rays coming from the top unlike a toaster oven which has infra red and hot air coming from the bottom

    I used this for pan pizza but the bottom is cooked on an induction stove

    Make dough (I cheated by using baking powder not yeast and not waiting overnight)
    Place on cast iron pan with lots of oil
    cook until bottom is cooked
    transfer to ceramic plate
    add sauce
    add toppings
    grill in microwave in grill mode

    It might be better and cheaper to just buy 2 separate devices, a microwave and either a large toaster oven or if you are serious about baking, a dedicated convection oven. Jack of all trades master of none

  • Ty sa mga nagreply, update lang, bumili na pala ako ng seperate na microwave and oven kaso hindi convection.

    Question lang pala about baking, tama ba na bottom heating element lang yung pagaganahin ko pag nagbabake? Parang yun kasi yung nabasa ko nung nagsearch ako sa google. Ang problem ko lang ngayon is laging medyo sunog yung baba at gilid pag nagbabake ako ng banana cake hahaha bottom lang yung settings ko, grill rack placed at the middle @170C (176 yung nasa recipe). Thank you
  • nope. pag nagbabake ako ng cakes top and bottom ang nakabukas sa akin. tapos nasa middle rack ang trays ko.
  • @ksolomon,
    kevstar is right top and bottom dapat kasi more on cooked na yung ilalim minsan then mejo runny pa yung top so you overcompensate. well you could also try lowering the heat but then settle for a longer baking time and you'll still might end up with a runny top. In my case gamit ko talaga usually mga ovenproof glass pans or bakeware para madali mamonitor so kita mo more or less agad. Sale sa 3-5 la*ada ng mga pyrex bakewares etc!

  • ^meron din kaming glass food container, yung mga nabibili sa sm, kung tama pagkaka alala ko sa nalakalagay na papel nung bagong bili pa siya oven safe naman daw pero natatakot pa rin ako mag bake sa glass kasi baka mabasag hahaha anyway, feeling ko masyadong mataas discrepancy ng temp ng oven ko, bili na lang ako ng oven thermometer online
