inverted microwave-safe saucer. Cook, uncovered, at 70% power for 8-10 minutes or
until a toothpick comes out clean. Cook on high for 1 minute longer. Remove to a
wire rack to cool completely. Store in the refrigerator. Editor's Note:

of a square or rectangular dish. Secure foil firmly to dish and do not allow it
