Are there any microwavable foods that can actually compete with cooked foods?

>> No.7101216

Microwave a potato. There, it's kind of like a baked potato but faster.

I think that's the closest it gets

microwaved leftover pizza is pretty good. but the pizza had to be cooked in a real oven first.

This, it's a lot better than a lot of restaurant lasagna, fancy or not.

I think some of the "Amy's" frozen entrees could compete, though I've always made them in a microwave oven not a microwave. And they are about 5 dollars each...

>> No.7101604

I had a teacher who was a food chemist or some shit that companies would go to when they wanted to make frozen or shelf stable products

she says, yes frozen meals can absolutely be just as good as fresh cooked meals. However the technology involved in mass producing such a thing would make the price point too high to be worth it. so instead you get freezer burned salt bombs.

how much more would it cost though? There could be a market for more "upscale" TV dinners, like with the current trend of fast casual places like Chipotle, Smashburger, etc.

microwave is cooked.

We haven't owned an oven for over 4 years, wasn't one or room for one in the place we moved into. Have saved so much time and it really tastes about the same anyway.

Chemists are a dime a dozen and you have follow the money, always follow the money. Find one that sais one thing where marketing is involved and you'll find another that sais something else.
