Can the Rock Crok be used for oven cooking and how does it affect cooking time?

Hello All! We have a Rock Crok that we always bring to our party's and it usually always leads to the sale of one, but we have had some questions about cooking time and I am not sure how to answer it: "Does oven cooking time change when using the Rock Crok??"We usually always use it at partys to make a cake of some sort in the microwave. Being able to cook a s'mores cake in 5-8 minutes is usually the big seller to moms! It is a fast recipe that doesn't take a lot to do, but a real crowd pleaser!For the cooking time, I know that we can cook a chicken in the microwave(a full frozen chicken in 45 minutes!) , and we have at home with it. It turns out delicious, but we don't use it in the oven at home a lot. We are usually always on the go and usually always use it in the microwave to cut some time. Your help with this would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much!
Cassy

The time doesn't change if you're doing casserole-type food, which I suspect would always be the case with the rock crok..Unlike the stoneware bar pans - cookies/frozen chicken nuggets/oven fries can take a few minutes longer, because the stone takes longer to heat up than a metal cookie sheet. Cookies I find I always need to add about 3 minutes on a bar pan or pizza stone, oven fries maybe up to 10 minutes. But I'd never be cooking those in a rock crok.Casserole-type recipes are usually around 45 minutes no matter if it's metal, pyrex, or rock crok.

Hi Cassy! Great question! The cooking time does not necessarily change when using the Rock Crok. However, because the Rock Crok is made from a unique material that distributes heat evenly, it may cook your dish faster than a traditional bakeware. It is always best to check the recommended cooking time for your specific recipe and then check your dish periodically to ensure it is cooked to your desired level. Happy cooking!
