When making pie fillings, slightly reduce the amount of liquid given in the conventional recipe. Pastry will not brown, but it does come out extra flaky. To add color, brush prepared shell with vanilla extract before cooking.

All pies should be cooked in a microwavable pie plate. Prick pastry before cooking. To check, the bottom of the crust should look opaque and dry.

Crumb crusts work well in the microwave.

Because microwave cooked cakes rise much higher than those conventionally baked, fill dish only half full.

Cakes are done when a toothpick inserted near the center of the layer comes out clean. There may be some moist spots on top immediately after removing from the oven. These will disap- pear during the stand time.

Angel food cake, chiffon cake and cream puffs need dry heat so bake in a conventional oven for best results.
