Firstly the best Cornish pasty must always be made in Cornwall that why it is called a Cornish pasty. Secondly it must be made with Cornish ingredients which includes skirt beef (skirt is a type of steak). Thirdly the ingredients must be put in the pastry in the right order: sliced potatoes, chopped swede/turnip, cut beef and chopped onions last. Lastly it must be crimped well so none of its insides fall out.

Cornish Pasties need to be baked in a conventional oven, trying to cook them from raw in a microwave will result in the pastry being overcooked and too tough to eat before the filling is cooked. However you can reheat a cooked Cornish Pasty, just microwave the pasty on full power for one minute, the rest for one minute, then enjoy.
Cornwall county in England is credited with creating the pasty. In Britain it is often referred to as Cornish pasty. It is a baked pie with fish or beef and vegetables inside.
