    Silly question number 49 - are you sure it's not in your MR book?

    My two books both say high - but they are for older machines.

    Dead easy to do and tighten, then you can always do a granny knot ( I mean a proper reef knot ) if you want to be sure :)

    Just out of interest, how do you store a christmas pud until xmas after you've made it.

    Delia say's... Keep it in a cool place away from the light. Under the bed in an unheated bedroom is ideal....

    I put mine in the cupboard under the stairs which is dark and cool.

    There was quite a difference in cooking times when I googled - but the ones about 2 pints or so all said around twelve hours. Smaller ones would do on high in just 5-6 hours. (or, at a guess, on low for 12 :))
