Caution!
Written by: Lisa Hughey14 December 2008 |
| Three points: Test your microwave as times may vary widely. My nuke made molasses on the first try. It also burned me - be very careful in removing the wrap as the steam will catch you if you don't use a tool (try tongs). Stirring and adding color/flavor will cause bubbling even after the mix has stopped boiling. Have a plan for the hot bowl after pouring; a trivet over wax paper would be ideal. Do not attempt to wash syrup-covered bowl until cool. |
