Is there a way to cook this in the microwave so it's as good as stovetop?

No way to brown in microwave. I do use the microwave to speed up the rehydrating but they need to cook in a pan. If you have a cast iron skillet that is best.

I put mine in microwave with steamer for six minutes. Comes out very nice !

Best way is for 1 minute at a time in the microwave. Shake it a bit. Don't burn the bean, they will smell!

I have not tried putting this in the microwave. Sorry I couldn't help you with an answer to this question.

no instructions for Microwave. Cooks fast on top of stove though. Boil water, dump in, stir, cover. Need not more than 5 minutes while you make the coffee. Try Bob's 10 Grain. That you can cook in microwave. I mix them.

You can bake with it in the oven. Not sure about microwave? I don't really care for it.

If you try putting this teapot in the microwave, the outside layer will get incredibly hot and the heat won't penetrate too well into the interior of the pot, like other dark shiny ceramic containers. The traditional way of making tea is to boil a kettle of water and pour the hot water into the teapot. You can use a little of the hot water to pre-warm the pot.

You literally just fill it with water, drop the uncooked pasta in, pop it in the microwave, and when you take it out the pasta is cooked, and you can drain the water using the top cover. SO yes, it's different then cooking pasta on the stove as it takes less time and it's not a giant pain. ;)

Yes it's fine in the microwave. I haven't done that much, but had no problem when I did.

Not sure, but you do not microwave it and use water that is not boiling. Try checking their web site

No metal in the microwave. You can either learn this the easy way or the hard way: youtube.com/watch?v=u_yg5eKjA4U

I don't think that this is addressed in the instructions, and we have never used the cooker this way. We refrigerate our cooked rice and warm it in the microwave with a few drops of water.

You can reheat anything you normally would reheat in a microwave oven. It just can't hold that much

You can place it in the oven but I do not believe you can use it in the microwave

I heat water in a kettle or pot then pour over large tea pieces, and steep. The holes are large so finer tea blends will enter the water. I've never used on the stove because it's so beautiful and I wouldn't want it to crack. I've never used it in the microwave because the bakers made from the same material get to hot and takes a while cool down. Hope this helps its a lovely piece and will keep your tea warm for a while.

Yes. The instructions are on the packaging. It can be microwaved for 60 seconds, and if not hot enough, microwave it in 20 second intervals.

I have never melted this in the microwave, I've only used a double boiler. But, it seems like you should be able to.
