DESSERTS
There's always time to make dessert with a microwave oven. Fruit desserts have a remarkably fresh flavor
and texture.Microwaved cakes arehigher andmore tender thanconventionally baked;since cakes areusually
frosted, browning is unimportant. Microwaved pie crusts are exceptionally tender and flaky, while delicate
custards and puddings are easy to prepare.

Baking
• Bar cookies workbest. Greasing or lining of the microwaveable baking dish is optional.
• If insufficient browning disturbs you, frost, glaze or add food coloring to whiteor yellow batters.
• A microwaveable cookie sheet can be made by covering cardboard with waxed paper.
• Round glass baking dishes, and fluted or smooth microwaveable ring molds work best for cakes. You can
make amicrowaveable ringmold ofyour ownby placinga medium-size glassin thecenter ofa roundglass
baking dish.
• Because your cakes will rise higher in microwave cooking, never fill microwaveable cake pans more than
half full.
• Reduce baking powder and soda by approximately one-fourth when converting a conventional recipe.
• Fill paper-lined muffin cups to only half full which allows for muffins to rise more than normal.
• You canprepare yourown "brown 'nserve" breadsand rollsby bakingthem aheadof time inthe microwave
oven. Then, place them in a conventional oven to brown prior to serving.
• Breads and rolls should be reheated to the point where they are warm to the touch. Overheating or
overcooking makes bread tough and rubbery.
• When making yeast bread in a microwave oven, choose a recipe with cornmeal, whole wheat flour, or rye
flour to achieve a richer color.
