Can you cook raw pastry pies in microwave?

It is generally not recommended to cook raw pastries in the microwave, as they may not cook evenly and can become soggy. Traditional pastry pies are typically baked in the oven at a consistent temperature, which allows for a golden crust and cooked filling.

If you are going to cook a raw pastry pie in the microwave, here are some tips to help ensure even cooking:

1. Preheat the oven to the temperature specified in the recipe.

2. Lightly grease a microwave-safe dish.

3. Place the unbaked pie in the dish and brush the top with milk or egg wash.

4. Microwave the pie for 2-3 minutes at 50% power.

5. Check the pie crust to ensure it is not overcooked.

6. Continue to microwave the pie at 50% power for 2-3 minutes at a time, checking the crust and filling.

7. Once the pie is cooked to your satisfaction, remove it from the microwave and allow it to cool before serving.
