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.

Steam from the contents also doesn't help

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 .
