Advice : Good food fast

If you ever eat frozen prepared food, you have probably run into this dilema: Microwave it and get the food fast but soggy, or bake it and get it tasting good but having to wait 10 times as long. Despite the saying "good things come to those who wait", I am going to reveal a shortcut that I have been using to solve this evil tasty problem.

When faced with a frozen bakable product, simply do the following:

1. Microwave product for 1-2 minutes (or half its actual mwave cooking time, whichever is less)

This should leave the food soggy but thawed to approx. room temperature

2. Put product in toaster oven (use small baking tray if necessary, although best is on rack)
Toast on high for one cycle (but watch to make sure no burning)

3. let stand for a few minutes. after the outside cools, product should now be cooked warm on the inside and crispy on the outside (in only 5-10 minutes)


This technique has been tested on and worked for:
-tater tots and french fries
-burritos
-any type of breaded chicken
-pizza squares/bagels
-hot pockets


Bonus: Hershey's Dark chocolate bars have 50% more dietary fiber than Nature Valley granola bars. (and more antioxidants, and only 30 more calories). Regularity is about to ensue...
