Hello there,
I've already researched about baking using a microwave oven, There are good results and there are bad too but I just want to hear from your own experiences(if you ever tried). How did it turned out? was it a success or not?
We have a microwave oven but it's not being used for a long period of time because all we know is how to pre-heat foods using it

I bake cupcakes and muffins in my pizza oven a slide out drawer on my microwave. They aren't as good this way, but the house doesn't heat up like using the oven.

Yes, i ever use microwave oven to bake some cakes. Some of them turned out fine and smooth, delicious to eat. But there are some of them which turned out hard and dry. I think what matters the most is the timing. We need to know what kind of recipe need how long timing to bake it. Over bake them will caused the cake burn, too hard and dry.

I rarely use the microwave for anything. Is that old-fashioned of me?

I've honestly never baked in a microwave really. There are those lil desert cups you can microwave/bake but that's about it and it's very rare I buy those things. I do use the microwave for plenty of other cooking though....

I have made several cakes in the microwave, the most successful baking I do in it is for desserts. Steamed sponge puddings and suet puddings like jam roly poly cook really quickly and successfully in the microwave.
You tend to need to experiment a little with your own microwave for timings etc, but it is certainly very handy if you need to make a quick pudding!

hi wheng 
The only thing I will bake in the oven are potatoes, lol This I can guarantee will come out good. I like that they do get soft in such a shorter time then putting them in the oven.
But as for anything else, I have not been successful because they come out hard, dry and yucky. lol

Hello HWG
As for me, I use it for re-heating foods and popping popcorns only
other than that I never tried anything else too
It's sad to see our oven just sitting there in one corner of our kitchen. It's not been used for a long time that's why an idea popped into my mind if I can bake using it. Surely with all the inputs I can get in here will help me a lot

just like you wheng, i have never tried using the microwave for other purpose except to heat left-overs and foods.
Actually, i don't know how to bake also. Long time ago, i tried to bake twice, but they are a failure, so i never tried anymore.
No one uses the oven in our range at home, ever!
