Nuke it then stick it under the grill to crisp it up. x

It's the amount of fat in the pastry. Microwaves make all the liquids jiggle around.

You can just about get away with shortcrust on a short blast.

Now I want pastry and not the fish and veg we are having for dinner.

Because the filling makes it sweat

Fat content is high so that's my guess why soggy in a microwave

Microwave activates the water molecules, so.fat splits and softens the pastry.

Ginsters say you can microwave their pasties but I've never tried.

Does this happen in a combination microwave?

You can but only to warm up if things have been cooked in oven before for 1 to 3 mins after that the Microwave activates the water so makes it soft .
