Christmas Pudding without a steamer.

Hi Lindsey
I'm making the classic Christmas pudding but I don't have a steamer. How else can I cook it?

Hello Dilip,
It is possible to steam puddings in an oven but we haven’t tested it.
Generally you would place the pudding in a deep roasting tin or a casserole. Then add boiling water so that it is about half way up the side of the basin and then cover the whole thing with a tent of strong foil which needs to be pinched tightly around the edge. Then place it in the lower part of the oven at 140C and the timings would be the same. Check the water bath regularly and top up with freshly boiled water as needed.
Kind regards
Lindsey
