Are you making it as a statement, or as a question?

Just to avoid any confusion I would change it based on if it were a statement or question.
You should try cooking it in the microwave.
Why don't you try cooking it in the microwave?
Were this the spoken word the phrase would work as either a question or statement based on the tone. Generally people end questions in an up-tone so it would be easier to decipher. That's just me though.

Yep, it can easily be a suggestion. I think it could go either way.
As a statement, it would only be appropriate in informal settings, though, imo.

The context is: a suggestion.
Even still, I reckon it needs a question mark. It's a suggestion in the form of a question.

But it can be used in a non-question tone, in which case it would be misleading to use a question mark.

That's actually a tough request. While it can be used as a suggestion, I have been saying the phrase over and over in my head and can't quite figure how to make sound like a statement rather than a question. I think Eels has the right idea in that even a rhetorical question is still, at its base, a question.

Yeah, that's what I thought but I'd still use a question mark. :S

I am with it needing a question mark.
Even if it's rhetorical, it's still a question. Why, if it starts with "why", it should always be a question, unless used as it has been in this sentence.
