Asked on 29 Sep 2016 by Shrub Once I have made my Christmas pudding, can I reheat it in the microwave on the day rather than steaming ? Lindsey, Food Editor replied Hello Steaming is definitely the best. 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. Delia doesn’t even heat her leftover pudding in the microwave. She wraps it in foil and heats it in the Aga or the oven. Best wishes Lindsey Do you have a question for Delia or Lindsey? Why not ask your question now.
