Asked on 21 Nov 2022 by FromFetcham Have made your super Xmas pud recipe for many years. Instead of steaming for 8 hours, is it possible to use a microwave. Only thinking of saving fuel. Lindsey, Food Editor replied Hello, Steaming is the best way to re-heat a homemade pudding and the only way we recommend re-heating Delia’s Christmas pudding. Microwaved puddings are frequently ruined. They tend to overheat and get tough & sticky. Steaming lightens the pudding and after taking so much care to make your own pudding it’s such a shame to not steam it. To re-heat leftover pudding we wrap it in foil and warm it either in the Aga or the oven. Best wishes Lindsey Do you have a question for Delia or Lindsey? Why not ask your question now.
