- 1). Place your clay piece in the microwave-safe bowl. A ceramic bowl does not work, as it may react negatively with the polymer clay.
. - 2). Cover the piece with water. Ensure the piece remains covered throughout the baking process.
- 3). For smaller pieces, such as beads, microwave about two minutes. For larger pieces, set the timer at 10 minutes or more. A good guide is to microwave the piece for 10 minutes for every 100 grams (about 3.5 ounces) of clay.
- 4). Continue to boil the water until you believe the clay is baked. If the object dries, it will burn and smoke quickly. Allow the clay to cool.
