A browning agent for foodstuffs having a carbonyl-containing browning reactant is disclosed comprising a water-in-oil emulsion, a surfactant and an edible base in the aqueous phase adapted to enduce a browning reaction in the foodstuff upon heating. The browning agent may be coated onto foodstuffs such as biscuits, pizza, pie coverings or hash brown potatoes, stored at temperatures from about -30.degree. C. to about 10.degree. C. thereafter immediately microwaved to enduce browning.
