*Note: Can use the microwave for cooking custard mixes, as required above. Microwave in one-minute increments and stir; when beginning to thicken microwave in 30-second increments to insure a smooth mixture which is not overcooked. Much, much easier and quicker than standing for half an hour at the stove
