Even just frozen vegetables have instructions to microwave for 6+ minutes depending on the power of the microwave. I have a fairly decent microwave, and sometimes they even come out really cold still.

Turkey pot pies have even more ingredients, especially the turkey, which probably requires the most time to cook out of the whole thing. And Turkey isn't like red meat, where you can eat them "medium." It has to be fully cooked or you can get sick.

A paper I read voted these microwavable pot pies #1 on their list of things not to eat. May contain a whole days worth of sodium in just one serving. Usually HALF of a pie! But no one only eats half, lol.
I underestimated that boy. No... it was not the boy I underestimated, it was the Triforce of Courage.

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.


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.

What do you mean you people

You people need to stop ruining the fun in eating these 10 minute meals. We all know they aren't healthy, but god damn do they taste good. Hot pockets? More like fucking nerd pockets. What kind of nerd doesn't eat those things? Speaking of which, I haven't had one in about 2 weeks. I'm pretty sure that's a nerd sin.

The microwave radiation only goes about 2cm deep, so only the surface/bottom is going to be heated. From there, the heat has to dissipate into the center by itself (and a lot will dissipate into the air instead), that's why it takes so long.

Just leave it overnight in the fridge to thaw.... then you don't have to mircowave it for that long. I tend to do that for my frrozen stuff, because it's common to find a part nuked to hell and another part still cold

Dammit man, what happened to the pie? WE MUST KNOW!

I would have died of starvation sometime during my last 4 years if it wasn't for Hungry Man. I also approve of your choice of "food".

My advice, if it says to microwave, always put it in the oven, only thing I microwave nowadays are the frozen burritos, but shit like the TV dinners, they may take a longass time but they will be much better from the oven, especially the Hungry Man Dinners.

If it's going to take that long just put it in the oven, o.o;

Using a microwave to activate an object is very unlikely. You can determine the wavelength of the microwaves by putting marshmallows in and measuring the distance between the resulting peaks. If you then work out the energy carried by the EM waves, you'll begin to understand how microwaves actually work.

Essentially, microwaves heat up food by exciting electrons and vibrating molecules, specifically water. These are processes on the atomic and molecular scale. There is nowhere near enough energy to induce a nuclear reaction which is what you would need to make your food "radioactive".

The term "nuke" your food is very misleading.

Use an oven. It will take a little bit longer but it will be soo much better.
