How to cook frozen cornish pasties in a microwave?

While you can technically cook a frozen Cornish pasty in a microwave, it's not recommended for the best results. Here's why:

* Uneven Cooking: Microwaves tend to heat food unevenly, leaving the center of the pasty cold while the crust is overcooked.

* Soggy Crust: The steam generated during microwave cooking can make the pastry crust soggy.

* Loss of Flavor: Microwaving can diminish the rich, savory flavors that make Cornish pasties so delicious.

For the best results, cook your Cornish pasties according to the instructions on the package, which usually involve baking or frying.

However, if you're in a pinch and need a quick option, here's how you can try microwaving a pasty:

1. Thaw: Let the pasty thaw in the refrigerator overnight or for a few hours at room temperature.

2. Microwave: Place the pasty on a microwave-safe plate and microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, or until heated through. You may need to adjust the time depending on the size and thickness of the pasty.

3. Let Rest: Allow the pasty to rest for a few minutes before cutting and serving.

Remember, this method will likely result in a less-than-ideal texture and flavor.

It's always best to cook Cornish pasties according to the package instructions for the most enjoyable experience.
