What we did here with our OFF-ROAD camping trips with our 255AH (3EA 85AH Interstate in parallel was to purchase a el-cheapo white faced manual knob controlled 600WATT microwave from WALMART.

Baked POTATO with our steaks is a must have for us as well and this microwave works ok for a couple of baked potatoes with my 1500WATT pure sine wave Inverter.. We probably only use our microwave maybe 10 minutes total during one day/night run off the batteries.
I tried running my big 1500WATT microwave and it eats up my battery power rather quick...
The small microwave solved this problem for us...
