   You may want to keep an eye on the pudding after the first hour and a half, especially if your cooker runs hot like mine. When I first made this pudding I overcooked it. While it still turned out fine, there wasn't as much sauce as I would have liked. If the pudding cooks faster than the recommended time, it still turns out okay if the cooker is turned on to the 'keep warm' setting until you're ready to serve.
