Dear chitra Madam,

Can I Make Biscuits or cakes in Microwave Oven?
Pls send Link also.

Chitvish · Nov 23, 2007

Dear Saikripa,
Baking in MW depends entirely on the individual oven capacity. So, I cannot give a generalised recipe with timings.
Love,
Chithra.

madam,
I have samsung 20 ltrs mw without convection/ grill.

Chitvish · Nov 23, 2007

Dear Saikripa,
I am sorry, I am unable to help you. Please go through the demo book given with the MW, which will give you an idea.
Somebody else who has a Samsung may help you.
Love,
Chithra.
