get this, the directions read: Microwave on high for 15 minutes
wtf I'm not trying to dry my laundry. This thing is gonna be radioactive or something? I'm honestly kind of worries because nothing should be in a microwave that long =\

Thing is huge. It even says on the box it's a pound of food:

You just said the reason, its a WHOLE POUND of food, thats why it takes 15 minutes. You don't want the center to be cold or even frozen still do you?

That's pretty standard for chicken pot pies that are frozen, Marie Callendar's ones are about that long too. I reccommend the oven though, it comes out better. I've microwaved them before for that long though, it's fine.

It needs to be in there longer so the heat can reach all the way inside the potpie. Otherwise you're going to be biting into a cold frozen center.

Trust me, I've tried it

I'd recommend using whatever the oven settings are, it's going to be mushy and gross and not nearly as enjoyable in the microwave :[ but that doesn't seem wrong to microwave that long it won't be radioactive.

I know what you mean, but you actually do need to cook them for that long.

There's some gravy and stuff spewing out the top and it SOUNDS like it's about to explode. I'd call the Hungry Man hotline but I'm sure they'd tell me it's all completely normal. And it still has 10 minutes to go. *is scared*

I definitely came into this thread (from the sidebar) expecting this to be about massacring chickens with a shotgun or about kilograms of cocaine.
Needless to say, i'm disappointed.
But at least you try and make boring parts of your life exciting. Wish I was that charismatic.

If you look on the bright side, imagine how epic 1lb of food exploding in your microwave would be.

Well, roughly speaking, if we idealized your pie to being water, that would be roughly 454g of water, meaning that water, with its heat capacity of 4.184/4.186J/g°C would need roughly 3.80x10^5 Joules to get the contents to 200°C + another 1.51x10^5 Joules to convert it from ice to water. Assuming your microwaves outputs 1000W or 1000J/s, that's 531 seconds, or almost 9 minutes. Throw in the fact that microwaving food is going to bring in substantive losses of heat and other variables, and you've got 15 minutes.

It's 15 minutes because of its shape. If you dump it on a plate and break it up, you probably only need 5 minutes tops.

Not unless you ingest an entire cup of salt lol, then it causes the heart to misconduct the electrical signals and you die.

Hungry Man's is my shit. I lived off of that my sophomore year of college. Sweet and Sour Chicken and Steak and Beans ftw.

I approve of your choice!
Shorts down shorts up, BOOM, just like that.

wtf you people are taking away all of the fun. And what's the fun in eating a pie if it's not shaped like a god damn pie?! I'm not breaking it up to save time, energy, the planet etc...
Also they should just put all that math for the directions, it'd go over a lot easier.

I dunno, my pies usually only took four minutes to bake, but they WERE much smaller. Hmm.
