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

Baking
• Bar cookies work best. Greasing or lining of the microwaveable baking dish is optional.
• If insufficient browning disturbs you, frost, glaze or add food coloring to white or 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 a microwaveable ring mold of your own by placing a medium-size glass in the center of a
round glass 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 can prepare your own "brown 'n serve" breads and rolls by baking them ahead of time in the
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.
