Zusammenfassung:Provided is a microwave drying method of a honeycomb formed body that, when the honeycomb formed body is induction-dried by irradiating with microwaves, reduce the temperature gradient inside of the formed body, whereby no defective shapes, such as deformation of cells of the honeycomb formed body, occur. A microwave drying method 1 of a honeycomb formed body includes: an introduction step of disposing the honeycomb formed body 10 while keeping an axis direction X of cells 11 of the honeycomb formed body vertically and introducing the honeycomb formed body 10 into a drying furnace capable of irradiating with microwaves; a reflector placing step of placing a microwave reflector 20 above the honeycomb formed body 10, the microwave reflector including a reflecting face having a coverage factor to an area of an end face of the honeycomb formed body 10 that is 15% to 30%; and a microwave drying step of irradiating the honeycomb formed body 10 with the microwaves of 915 MHz in frequency from above to dry the honeycomb formed body.
