A microwave kiln is a small white cylinder with a cavity inside that can be used in conventional microwave ovens to bisque fire ceramics as well as low to medium temperature glazes.
[1]The kiln is made of a white insulating fiber and lined on the inside of the chamber with a black compound that absorbs the microwave radiation and heats up to 900°C (1650°F). The heat from this compound is then transferred to the chamber and to the piece being fired.
These kilns differ from traditional kilns as they are very small and very fast. Most firing and glazing effects can be achieved with a microwave kiln in a domestic space quickly and without the space requirements of its full scale counterpart.
Microwave kilns are also widely used for glass fusing for making small, decorative items by heating glass fragments until they fuse.[2]
They are relative cheap and readily available to purchase online.
