Preparation Tip - Delicious Desserts

* Do not use the mixer to mix batters. Combine the ingredients using a whisk or fork. There is no need to mix the mixture until smooth. Incorporating too much air into the batter will cause it to prematurely stale when cooked in the microwave.

* There is no need to sift ingredients.

* Creaming is easy. Simply soften butter in the microwave for 30-40 seconds using HIGH power (100%) and add sugar

* A microwave-safe plastic container gives better results than glass, ceramic or pottery containers. Do not grease microwave safe plastic containers.

* A ring mold container is generally the best to use as this overcomes the problem of having an uncooked center.
