    摘要: A microwave drying method includes: an introduction step of disposing a honeycomb formed body while keeping an axis direction X of cells of the honeycomb formed body vertically and introducing the honeycomb formed body into a drying furnace capable of irradiating with microwaves; a reflector placing step of placing a microwave reflector having a function to reflect the microwaves above and/or below around the honeycomb formed body; and a microwave drying step of irradiating with the microwaves while controlling temperature of an inside of the honeycomb formed body by the microwave reflector so that any one of the end faces (e.g., end face) of the honeycomb formed body reaches 100° C. to dry the honeycomb formed body after the other part of the honeycomb formed body reaches 100° C.
