REAL SEARING HEAT
Real Grill Marks And Crisp Edges Instead Of Gray, Soggy Food
A plain microwave heats the water inside your food, so meat steams from the inside out. That's why microwaved burgers come out gray and bread turns soggy.
Rocket Chef works differently. In Rocket Chef's own words, the pan "absorbs microwave energy and converts it into infrared searing heat." The box says it reaches up to 750°F. Food sizzles the moment it touches the plate, so you get real grill marks and a crisp outside while the middle stays juicy.
MINUTES TO DINNER
Sizzling Burgers In About 4 Minutes, Grilled Cheese In About 3
Firing up a grill or waiting on a heavy skillet takes too long when you just want a quick, hot meal.
With Rocket Chef you cook right in the microwave you already own. In our test kitchen, two raw burger patties came out sizzling with dark grill marks in about 4 minutes, and a grilled cheese came out golden and gooey in about 3. That's hot, freshly cooked food faster than waiting on takeout.
NO STOVE MESS
The Fitted Lid Keeps Grease And Smoke Out Of Your Kitchen
Cooking burgers or chicken in a skillet usually means grease on the counters, smoke rolling toward the ceiling, and a screaming smoke alarm.
Rocket Chef comes with a fitted lid that keeps the popping oil and juices inside the pan. You get high-heat searing without a greasy stovetop, without smoke in the room, and without splatter all over your microwave.
Every Part Has A Job
- Fitted lid. Keeps grease splatter and smoke inside the pan while it cooks.
- Two loop handles. Light and easy to hold, for a steady two-handed lift.
- Ceramic non-stick searing plate. Absorbs microwave energy and converts it into infrared searing heat, up to 750°F.

SIMPLE CLEANUP
A Quick Wipe Replaces Soaking And Scrubbing Heavy Pans
Nobody likes scrubbing burnt-on grease out of a skillet or picking crumbs out of an air fryer basket.
Rocket Chef's plate is ceramic non-stick, so melted cheese, burger drippings and sauces let go of the surface. Once the pan cools, a damp sponge or paper towel wipes it clean. No soaking pans in the sink overnight.
NO HEAVY LIFTING
Light, With Two Loop Handles, And It Works In The Microwave You Own
Heavy cast iron is hard on wrists and hands every time you move it off the stove.
Rocket Chef is light and has two loop handles, so it's simple to lift with both hands. Even the kids can lift the lid. It works in the microwave you already own, so there's no new appliance to buy and nothing to install.
CRISPY LEFTOVERS
Turns Soggy Leftovers Back Into Hot, Crispy Food
Reheat yesterday's pizza in a regular microwave and you get a limp crust, floppy fries and rubbery wings.
Rocket Chef's hot plate crisps the bottom of the crust instead. In our test kitchen, cold pizza came back with a crunchy crust instead of limp rubber. As Danny S. put it: "Pizza, fries and wings come back hot and crispy instead of turning soggy in the microwave." Less wasted food, better quick lunches.
How It Stacks Up
| Rocket Chef | Outdoor grill | Air fryer | Heavy skillet | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sear & crisp | Up to 750°F, real grill marks | High heat after the grates warm up | Crisps, but no grill marks | Good sear on a hot burner |
| Speed | Burgers ~4 min, grilled cheese ~3 min | Wait for it to heat, stand outside | Preheat, shake the basket | Preheat, watch the pan |
| Smoke & mess | Lid keeps it in the pan | Smoke and flare-ups | Cooked-oil smell | Oil pops across the stove |
| Cleanup | Ceramic non-stick, wipes clean | Scrape the grates | Greasy basket to scrub | Burnt grease to soak |
| Handling | Light, two loop handles | Big frame, gas tanks | Bulky, takes counter space | Heavy on the wrists |

Questions People Ask
Is it safe to put this pan in my microwave?
Yes. It's made to go in the microwave. Rocket Chef says the pan absorbs microwave energy and converts it into infrared searing heat, up to 750°F, so the food sears right inside your microwave.
What can I cook in it?
In our test kitchen: burgers in about 4 minutes, grilled cheese in about 3, and leftover pizza with a crispy crust. Buyers on Rocket Chef's site also mention chicken, chicken nuggets, fries and wings.
How does it get grill marks without a flame?
The ceramic plate turns microwave energy into searing heat. When meat or bread touches the hot plate, it sears and crisps on contact, like a grill grate.
Does it make a mess in the microwave?
The fitted lid stays on while it cooks and keeps popping oil, splatter and smoke inside the pan.
How do I clean it?
The plate is ceramic non-stick. Once it cools, wipe it with a damp sponge, cloth or paper towel.
