Hello Vincent a/b - In my opinion you cannot use a microwave for baking - Baking is done in an oven. You would need to use "cooking". I am sure other people will have different opinions.

I agree with Louise. You can only bake in an oven.
Just say baking, and omit the reference to an oven.
It would be like saying she phoned him using a telephone or she typed him a letter on the keyboard.
She is baking a cake.
She is baking.
