Question about TV Dinners

[Kire]

Is it ok to cut the film on Smart Ones and peel it back for Lean Cuisine or do you have to do it the way it says on the box?

1. I just put a slash in it

Hasn't exploded yet. But when in doubt, follow the instructions!

2. I always just stab some fork-holes in the plastic

And keep an eye on it. 4 minutes on high seems about right for almost all of them :)

3. Generally, it is best to

follow the directions no matter what you are making. Food companies have test kitchens and they try cooking things different ways. Usually the method they suggest is the way to go.

4. I always follow the instructions to the letter, realizing that

corporate America knows what's best for us; but then I'm a good little BushAmerican. :silly:

is, well... convenience ;)

3 - 3.5 minutes. and none of that "let sit in the microwave for 1 minute" crap. heating it and eating it.

9. I always place them in another baking dish

I don't want to eat that heated plastic crap.
