Priya ! Need a help from u !! As am new to Microwave, thought of preparing a normal cake. Checked out ur cake recipes, i have seen a description like "Preheat the oven to 350F" - this means, we need to preheat and switch off the oven or we need to maintain the temp ?? This may be basic and silly for u, but pls, can u help me out and send ur elaborated description to my mail id sangeetha.nambi2gmail.com. Sorry if am bothering u :(
