Question i want to bake cake in microwave convection mode.i want to know is it safe to use alluminum tin in convection mode and what other utensils can i use in convection mode
Answer Dear Richa, I assume you are Indian and am amazed at how many requests I get for microwaving cake from Indians. We lived in Bombay for a while and I don't recall ever eating cake. However, we love Indian food and cook it often by microwave. For cake; it's best to use a round glass, ceramic, silicon or microwave plastic dish with about 2 liter capacity. If available use a ring or Bundt pan. Line the bottom with wax paper and add the batter and microwave on high for about 10 minutes or until the batter has set and a pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow it to cool and invert on a serving platter. Take care not to cook too long or it can dry out but if done the correct time it'll be lighter and more moist than a conventionally baked cake. For convection you can use metal pans and for microwave/convecdtion combination metal is OK also. The only material not to use with convection is plastic. Good luck!
