Many desserts can be made in the microwave, for example custards, puddings
or sponge cakes.
Cooking fruits in the
microwave yields quick and tasty
results. Cook fruit either whole,
peeled or sliced but always cov-
ered. There is no need to add
sugar nor water. You can also
make delicious jams. Dried fruits
can be rehydrated with ease.
Cakes may be cooked very
quickly.
Example :
chocolate cake -
six minutes in the
microwave for a
moist cake -- but
1 extra minute
can dry it out.
