Success breeds imitation.  No doubt you will have seen the advertisements on television for the Stonewave Microwave Cooker.  They produce a large range under the “As Seen On TV” banner.  Well, this ramekin was advertised as a lower cost alternative.  Advertised as the “Innobella Ceramic Microwave Micro-Cooker.”  I got this one at an even lower price in an Op-Shop recently.

There is no information around about who “Innobella” are, except that they produce a range of kitchenware.  This type of cooking has mixed results, if the on-line reviews are to be believed.  Like all things, it is personal taste.  Chances are, that it was made in China.
