Can I take a break from steaming my Christmas puddings?

2.1K Posts


My puddings have been cooking for almost 5 hours now and I want to go out. I'm just turning off the heat and leaving them sitting there till I get back. I don't want to poison anyone on Christmas day, should I continue to cook them tomorrow for a couple of hours and then again on Christmas Day?

If you're concerned, use your nose on Crhistmas Day - if it smells musty, don't eat it but otherwise, heat it in the microwave and make sure it's up to temperature.

We have a homemade pudding and uncut Christmas cake from last year
If you are bothered, cool them and then freeze them till christmas eve
and we will never, ever return.
Out of interest was this boiling in a saucepan or cooking in a bain marie in the oven?
