The only difference I ever saw was the sleeves made them explode on the sides a little bit.

You don't need to use the sleeves in the oven.

in my experience sleeves mostly help to keep the hot pockets in shape because sometimes they'll just fall apart

He's right though, the sleeves don't do much that anyone notices. You're better off experimenting with different settings, wrapping them in paper towels, etc.

Take those little Tostino pizzas for instance. It tells you not to microwave them. When I was a dumb kid I just put them in there frozen on high for 5 minutes, let them stand for another 5. They're nice and doughy and taste great. Wouldn't have them any other way.

The instructions are just a guide. Have fun experimenting. Just don't over do it. And never have no idea what's going to happen. That's not safe and it isn't worth screwing around.

Take spaghetti sauce. Lots of people don't read the back. You're just supposed to warm it. They put it in the pan with the mince and let it simmer for a while. While that's good, you can mix it in with the fresh cooked meat and spaghetti while it's still steaming hot, it warms the sauce and cools the rest. Works out great and the sauce tastes better. It actually stays red like the pictures instead of turning brown like rust.

could be it distributes the heat, but if you have certain features in your microwave, like a turntable, maybe you're already getting that

if you microwave something stationary and then look at it with an infrared camera you can see that the heat goes through it like a very thick laser only at specific points, leaving other points completely unheated

there are other mechanisms that can be used to distribute the heat more evenly. and even a turntable or other mechanism doesn't do a perfect job either. so the pocket thingy I guess just helps add even more evenness. the more evenness the better, but once you have enough you have enough.

One thing that pisses me off is when you're at that rare time when you don't have anything for dinner and you're just going to get a couple at a gas station, but they keep them like frozen bricks it ruins them. No matter how you heat the damn things up, it loses like 50% of it's flavor. Something about over freezing them too cold does it. Not sure why it never happens with the ones at Walmart. Just the gas station ones that are frozen solid. The ones that are still bendy are ok though.

Because Walmart freezers are actually broken half of the time. Then the other half they're in defrost mode. It's why ice cream is ALWAYS soft if you buy it from there.

They exist. Industrial ones like the one we had at burger King was like that. The ones for the inmates at my prison is like that. And I'm sure old school ones didn't either.

Guess Industrial ones are like that cause it's one less thing to break making them need to waste more money fixing or replacing it.

ice cream is supposed to be soft.

if it's harder than a brick, then your freezer is set to too cold.

This isn't a healthy meal, but for those of you that shop at Walmart, if you want a tasty lunch to take with you to work, make 2 packs of roasted chicken ramen, drain the water, and put the noodles in a container with 2 of those Premio Hot Italian Sausages. Boil the links on high for 13 minutes to make it easy. You don't have to wait for the water to boil. Drain the water and put them in the container with the ramen. Then take the container to work and eat it when you're ready.

Guys, it's just noodles and sausage. And Premio is excellent too. If I were to link a hot chick on YouTube eating it you'd be ok with it. And yes there are many links, but rushing to my booster and flu vax.

If you guys don't like perfectly cooked maruchan and premio, you'd be the first. That's tasty meat and noodles.

But hey, whatever. I was just trying to recommend something tasty. I can promise you you'll like it. My niece was picky as hell and she loved it. You can cut the sausage up and mix it with the noodles or leave it whole and bite it.

On YouTube they mix it with eggs and cheese. Wait, goddammnit, now I'm gonna be late.

I haven't had ramen from Walmart in a while. I do like the Nongshim Spicy Kimchi bowls they used to have though.

Last time I had noodles I just made spaghetti no. 12 De Cecco x4 for $4 at Food Lion with 4 jars of that roasted red pepper and garlic Classico.

Throw in a shitload of jalapenos and Italian sausage and forget your ulcer then cry for the next week. Yes, I actually did that because I'm a fucking moron. Thankfully the Prilosec helped.

Long as we're talking about ramen, Maruchan used to have tonkotsu pork flavor big bowls. I loved those, but I haven't seen them anywhere in several months. It looks like they may have been discontinued.

walmart still sells maruchan. i can go to my walmart right now and just throw tons of it into a cart

well not right now, they're closed, but that's besides the point

the point is, is that they still sell maruchan, as evidenced by bulbas link.

in fact, click it, then click "in store", guess what'll show up?
