I don't own a Fluted Pan.
Can i use a batter bowl instead?
I am going to try it tonight, but I have a show Saturday I need to make one for.
Also, can you put the frosting on the bottom of the bowl & then microwave?
 
Hey Melissa, I haven't done it in the batter bowl, but the deep dish baker works. BTW I was going to look in to sending something to Robin, and I was going to call you guys down there to see if you would like to join me.
 
You can use the rice cooker too.
