To Steam

When steaming the pudding it will need anything from 30 minutes to an hour. Steam the pudding as is, leaving the calico and silicon paper on. Do not stand the pudding in water, we don’t want a soggy bottom!

All our puddings have been steamed for 8 hours already and therefore are cooked so they just need to be warmed up.

To Microwave

(Not recommended for 5lb or 4lb puddings)

Remove the calico, leaving the silicon paper on,  place a mug of water beside the pudding and follow the microwave instructions.

The instructions below are for a 2lb (907g) pudding.  For a 1.5lb (681g) pudding  reduce the zap time by 30 seconds and another 30 seconds for 14oz (397g) pudding.   For the 3lb (1.3kg) pudding  increase the zap time by 30 seconds.
