You don't really have any temperature control with a microwave, which I'm guessing is really important. I would just use the good old fashioned oven.
I would caution against it. Microwaves, I believe, cook from the inside out. Therefore you would either have a cooked middle and under-cooked outer core OR over-cooked middle and regularly cooked outer part.
Out of curiousity, any reason why you don't want to use the oven?

Microwaves excite water molecules causing them to vibrate inturn creating friction causing heat. You would mostly make a barley goo that is steaming cooking the barley. It won't roast. Use the oven.
My microwave has a convection function that allow me to control the temperature.
Because i don't have one
Ok,If you say i will go to a friend to roast my barley with his oven

Irena,
Your situation sounds remarkably like mine. Ovens are a buy it your own damnself item here (as is everything else).
Not everyone here has an oven, but most people have a gas range with a little grill.
Do you have an open flame grill?

Yes,i have open flame grill and also my microwave has grill function.but both of them doesn't have temperature control.
To you have access to an outdoors grill ? I wouldn't recommend putting barley in a microwave: there will be smoke, lots of it from the roasting and you will most assuredly trip the smoke detectors.
I have heard of people making amber or brown malt at home wihtout any problems, but these malt are toated at lower temperatures and for shorter amount of time. I would seriously consider buying ready-made.

Sounds like a really good way to make some really horrible beer.
