All the recipes are good but watch your water level!. With 1-2 hours of steaming time you don't want your water to all boil out!. If you have a crock pot check the recipe book that came with it some of them have steamed pudding recipes in there!. You will be able to use your pudding basin but you wont have to worry about the water steaming away!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
