As a longtime connosieur of processed microwave-ready convenience meals, I have experienced many small annoyances when reading the instructions. Sure, it's easy enough on the surface--put it in the microwave, heat it up, eat it. Ah! But HOW LONG should you heat it up?
Many of my preferred meals go vague on this one. "Heat for 2 1/2 minutes to 4 1/2 minutes. "Heat for 3 to 5 minutes." This PLUS the standard disclaimer that microwaves are different so preparation times may vary.
That's why it was so refreshing to see the So Right frozen dinner come out strong: Heat for 4 minutes. PERIOD. Not "3 12 to 4 1/2 minutes." Here is a brand that takes a stand! 4 minutes. Beautiful! No guesswork. Just put it in and GO!
Indeed, I put it in and went. Was it the most delicious meal I ever had? No, but for under two bucks, it got the job done and was good enough for a simple lunch.
It probably could have used another 30 seconds or so in the microwave, though.
