Hi Cyndy,

    I have no experience with a microwave kiln, but I have done a lot of
    enameling in the Ultralite. The Ultralite kiln retails for $167 and
    is available from a variety of sources, including Rio Grande. 

    The workspace in an Ultralite is just 3", but that's plenty for most
    jewelry pieces. It works great! In my book, Enameling on Metal Clay,
    I provided a lot of instructions for enameling not only in a regular
    kiln, but also in an Ultralite. 

    I'd be very interested to hear if anyone has tried enamel in the
    microkiln and what the results were. I have my suspicions that it
    won't work well, but having not tried it, it's just a gut feeling
    with no proof to back it up. 

Good luck!
