In an 800 watt microwave, it takes 7-10 minutes (depending how big the potato is). A microwave with a lower wattage will take slightly longer.

Also, to ensure even cooking, turn the potato over halfway through the cooking time.

Is brown sweetened condensed milk good or bad?

Sweetened condensed milk can be brown for two different reasons:

  1. It is old and has reacted with the can - don't use it if this has happened. Check the date on the can, and before using any can check the seal was unbroken.
  2. It is caramelised condensed milk. This means the sugars in in have been converted into caramels and are darker in colour. This can be done before or after it is canned. This golden brown sweetened condensed milk is fine to eat. Either the label will tell you that this is caramelised sweetened condensed milk, or the place or person you got it can tell you whether they have caramelised it.

Does butter have to melted in order to cut it into the flour?

it means to (using a pastry blender or a couple of knives) mix the flour and butter together coarsely, so they resemble little crumbs. this means that little pockets of butter (or shortening, etc - whatever you're using) remain, which makes the pastry flaky. so you throw some chunks of butter in, and chop at it with knives, or roll it with the pastry blender, until it's crumbly.....

What is a substitute for apple butter?

Go to a website: recipetips.com, go to tips and advice, enter your question in keywords, go to lowfat recipe substitutions. You will see other substitutions besides butter.

Check out the other parts of the site. Good luck.

Can stainless steel vessels be used for baking?

In my experience I've had no trouble, unless the handles are wood, plastic or anything that could melt. They can often be removed temporarily. One problem comes when the pan is on top of the stove on a glowing electric element or possibly a gas burner with nothing in the pan. The bottom is only glued on and will pop off. I imagine if the food burns and there is no water left, the pan should act badly. It's too bad all electric ranges don't have timers for cooking on top of the stove.

Why should i use a spring form pan when making a cheese cake?

Cheesecake is not the kind of cake that is 'turned out' of the cake pans as a regular cake is. If it were baked in regular cake pans, it wouldn't turn out of the pan, and would be very difficult to cut and serve with the sides of the regular cake pan still in place. But by baking it in a springform pan, you just remove the side of the pan once the cheesecake is cool, then cut and serve on the bottom of the springform pan.
