So I have been longing to try the famed MMF, but I don't have a microwave oven (yes, I live in the 12th century, lol).

Is there a way to heat up the marshmellows on the stove?

Also, I read that if you need to soften the MMF once it's had a chance to rest, all you need to do is "zap" it......but since I don't a microwave to "zap" the fondant, what do I do?

I think you could use a double boiler....but I'm not 100% sure. That is what I would try.

HTH,

go to the recipes and under fondants category will be the MMF recipe, i do believe you can do it in a double boiler. as for softenning it without a micro, i wonder if you had your oven warm and only sat it in for a few seconds if it would work.

You can heat the marshmallows in a saucepan on the stove. Just spray your saucepan with nonstick spray EXTREMELY WELL. Use lowest heat and when the marshmallows are not quite completely melted pour into a mixing bowl.

As for reheating it, I can only think of one way. Put the MMF in an airtight Ziploc bag. Run some not-quite-boiling water on the stove. Dip the bag for a few seconds in the water until it becomes soft enough to work with.

U can do it over a double boiler...as for warming it up...you could put it ina warm oven, but make sure its covered so it doesnt dry out

What about sitting it on a heating pad to soften it up after you make it? I've used heating pads to keep candy melts soft while working with them.
