the simple answer is: 'anything' can run off an inverter, BUT, your factory may or may not have wired your Cooktop and/or Microwave thru the Inverter because they can be VERY LARGE amperage draws, and not recommended for 'smaller' inverters. Some of us have 2000 or 3000w inverters, with 4,6 or even 8 6v House batteries, designed for the 'whole house', including the outlets for the Microwave, fridge, and any outlets you can plug anything into, yet most of us are NOT going to power thru the Inverter a HAIR DRYER, or COOKTOP, or electrical HEATER, etc, as your BATTERIES will be depleted/killed fairly quickly - then you WILL be in a bind!

No, don't plan on running the microwave or cooktop on your inverter, EVEN if they are powered thru the inverter. Microwaving something for 30seconds is one thing, but cooking something for 10 to 20 minutes is totally different.
