Joyce Chen Microwavable Steamer for Rice. Joyce Chen's 4-in-1 Steamer lets you do more than just steam rice. It's a 2-qt. container for steaming vegetables and pasta — even popping popcorn. It's made specifically for the microwave and comes with a lid with lift-off handle.

Nordic Ware's Microwave Popcorn Popper is one that actually works in the microwave. The 3-Qt. Popper makes light and fluffy popcorn in about 4 minutes. Just place 1/2-cup of popcorn kernels in the bottom bowl and cover with the lid. Once the popcorn has finished popping, just invert the bottom bowl and lid, and you instantly have a container for your freshly popped corn. No oil needed, makes up to 12 cups of popped corn.

Nordic Ware's Microwave Bacon/Meat Grill Bacon/Meat Grill is a healthy alternative to grilling on top of the stove. Instead of allowing your bacon or sausage to sit in grease as they cook, this grill has a raised cooking area so fats and oils drain away from the meats as they cook. A pouring lip allows you to easily drain away the excess fat. The grill has a round shape that rotates in the microwave, and a reversible, flat side that can be used for baking or defrosting other foods.

Now you can enjoy Eggs Benedict any time without the time or hassle with Nordic Ware's Microwave Egg Poacher. This pan cooks 1 to 4 eggs in just minutes, right in your microwave. The see-thru lid lets you check the cooking progress while it prevents splattering. 8x2-in.
