I baked the stuff using the "oven" part, not the microwave part.
Same machine, different controls. I don't even think baking
works in the microwave - it doesn't brown anything.

Sorry, I meant in the 'small oven' - the conventional part. it would be fine
for small amounts of cookies but not the number I do.
Have you any ideas for a good book to explain the use of a microwave?
Cooking times, suitable dishes etc. I guess there will be very many to
choose from but some might be better than others :-(
Thanks,
Mary

Thanks, I'll look out for it. Good Housekeeping books certainly are
reliable.
