When You Make A TV Dinner Do You Stop Halfway To Stir The Mashed Potatoes And Flip The Meat Over?

[Little Red Wagon Repairman]

I never do and it seems to come out OK. Is it really worth the effort?

TeeVee Dinners? What are these strange things of which you write?

I nuke two at a time for ten minutes and then let them sit for half an hour, works out really good for the enchilada dinners.

I always screw up the enchiladas. They ended up busted and messed up like mashed, soggy enchiladas.

They never look like that.

I take a Lean Cusine to work everyday. I NEVER stop it in the middle to stir/flip the way the directions say and it usually comes out fine. It occasionally overcooks things with noodles or rice that don't get properly sauced but most times its fine. I don't put in the effort to stop it in the middle.

How can you fuck that up? Look at that nice glass dish they give you to cook it in.

I will say I do poke holes in top of package to vent when instruction order. Tonight for dinner I have this Del Sol Carne Asada Bowl. $3.99 at the Ralph's, 7 1/2 minute in microwave. Was good.

Well, do 'ya?

I usually only cook them for a couple of minute and then eat them half frozen, but that's just lasagna and mac & cheese so no big deal. Especially the mac and cheese I like better that way.

 

[Mr. Daystar]

Yes I do. And I usually warm it on a lower power, so it only warms, and doesn't cook

Interesting timing. I did a Lean Cuisine for dinner Thursday night - meatloaf and mashed potatoes. I did NOT rotate the meatloaf, as the microwave "spins." BUT, I did peel back the plastic covering, stir the taters, and re-cover.

I don't remember the brand, but there was a dinner which had chicken tenders and fries and I would take them out and throw them in a skillet with hot oil and fry it up while only microwaving the corn and brownie.

I haven't had a hungry man dinner for a while, but I recall the potatoes coming out hard on top and watery on the bottom if you didn't mix it halfway. I recall Lean cuisine also had that problem with their pasta as well. I'd say for the amount of effort it takes to give it a quick stir, it's worth it.

I'd rather drink my own diarrhea out of the toilet than eat Lean Cuisine. I ate one, just one, and that was enough. I was dating a gal and at her place while she was outta town. I raided the icebox and saw what I assumed was edible. It even had the word "beef" on the box so I was suspicious that my assumption was correct. Both wrong as technically there was beef but the BBQ Sauce tasted like cough syrup. I threw the Lean Cuisine away, picked up the phone to call my then GF who was in New Jersey, and hollered at her all the way from California.

Dino: ugh..; yeah, I tried that BBQ Beef LC once - it was awful. Some items are definitely better than others.

I'm back at my full "COVID-19" for weight gain - so I'm dieting thru Memorial Day, likely.

You got COVID? I'm sorry, man. Hope you feel better. I guess everything tastes like Lean Cuisine when you have COVID. Sorry about that too. Take care, get some rest, and be good to yourself.

 

[Pornfan99]

Oh - no; I don't have COVID. I have put on 19 pounds since the pandemic was announced.

 

[Supafly]

Regarding them Mashed Potatoes - YES, rather stir some more

And regarding COVID - isn't it a pest you are afraid to even tell someone you feel like you got a little cold, because you KNOW they will instantly think:

HE GOT THE CORONA

Just imagine what it was like being Asian at the beginning of the pandemic and the reaction you'd get for simply sneezing.

 

[afterlights]

Absolutely.
