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.

•
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 serviceable 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.
