Question 1

The pudding recipe on the box says water cannot touch the bottom of the mold.  Most recipes cay the water should be 1/3 - 1/2 the way up.  Why?

Accepted Answer

The pudding recipe is for a steamed pudding; that is a pudding cooked in a steamer.  When using a steamer, as in one for tamales or vegetables, a platform is in place above the water on which you would place the puddings in their molds.  The alternative to a steamer is baking the puddings in a pan with hot water 1/3 to 1/2 way up the sides of the molds and the whole thing wrapped tightly in foil to create a steam chamber.  The water, just mentioned, will cause the molds to discolor.  I would imagine that is why it is not a recommended practice.  It does work, but not as well.  You bought a great pudding mold, so now go buy a steamer or have it discolor.  Its your decision.

Question 2

Do I need to buy an insert to go with Mrs. Anderson's baking steamed Christmas mold?

Accepted Answer

No you so not have to buy an insert for this baking piece.   It looks like a small bundt pan and makes delicious cakes

Question 3

If using w. instant pot to make puddings, do i still use the lid? use the cake or pressure feature? add water to the bottom or pass the mold? recipe?

Accepted Answer

I always use the lid. When you see the water that collected on it you'll know why. I do it on "manual". About 1.5 to 2 cups water. I put the trivet in ups down, just to keep it off the bottom. I find my recipes for puddings online, mostly Pinterest (my board is "IPA: Instant Pot Addiction") or look for a book called "Great British Puddings" by Mary & Debbie Smith. Oh, and solid coconut oil is the perfect substitute for suet.

Question 4

I have heard from my cousin that she had a hard time with sticking with this pan. Any suggestion to make my plum pudding unmold easily?

Accepted Answer

I just made my plum pudding last night. I used shortening to grease the pan and the pudding came out very easily. Just let it cool completely in the pan, then upturn it over a plate and shake a couple of times.
