how come you cant microwave a pie without the pastry resembling glaziers putty ?
Answers
Once you heat the interior of the pie to 100C the steam produced condenses in the pastry crust thus turning it soggy. If you heat it to say 90C this effect will be negligable. If you leave it outside the microwavelon g enough for it to dry on the surface and not long enough for the interior to cool too much you will get a more acceptable pie.
