Comments : After yesterday's chicken nightmare, this one was quite comforting. Far from being a "real" general tao, but still pretty tasty and a pretty enjoyable sauce.

Manufacturer : Michelina's

Michelina's : Meat loaf

Manufacturer : Michelina's

Product : Meat loaf

Contents : Meat loaf (beef), mashed potatoes, gravy

Cooking time : 3 minutes in a microwave oven

Rating : 4 / 5

Comments : The best one I have tried from this brand so far. Actually quite good. The meat loaf is not dry, saucy enough. A normal size meal.

Michelina's : Three cheese pizza

Manufacturer : Michelina's

Product : Three cheese pizza

Contents : Pizza, tomato sauce, mozarella, cheddar & romano

Cooking time : 2½ minutes in a microwave oven

Rating : 3 / 5

Comments : Obviously the pizza is more microwave-friendly than the pogo sticks. Quite plain, but not bad at all. Still a rather small portion though.

Michelina's : Lasagna alfredo

Manufacturer : Michelina's

Product : Lasagna alfredo

Contents : Pasta, brocoli, mozarella cheese

Cooking time : 5 minutes in a microwave oven

Rating : 2 / 5

Comments : First of all, I have to admit that I am not really keen on brocoli, and that I would probably not have picked up this one if I had looked closer at the box in the store. The only thing I can say is that there is too much "bonzai" brocoli for someone who is not into brocoli and too few for someone who enjoys brocoli.

Michelina's : Spagetti bolognese

Manufacturer : Michelina's

Product : Spagetti bolognese

Contents : Pasta, italian style meat sauce

Cooking time : 6 minutes in a microwave oven

Rating : 3 / 5

Comments : Although bolognese is not usually my favorite pasta sauce, this one is quite decent and the meal does not suffer from his microwave experience like what we got yesterday (see below).

Michelina's : Fries and corn dogs

Manufacturer : Michelina's

Product : Fries and corn dogs

Contents : Fries, batter wrapped turkey wieners

Cooking time : 2½ minutes in a microwave oven

Rating : 3 / 5

Comments : The perfect example of junk food. This one has tempted me for a long time actually. Although, it looks (see how the pogos exploded) and tastes like re-heat junk food in a ridiculously small portion (16 1/2 fries...). I guess the microwave does not give it justice. I would recommend it more for a hung over Sunday morning than for a lunch at the office.

Michelina's : Fettucine alfredo

Manufacturer : Michelina's

Product : Fettucine alfredo

Contents : Pasta, creamy parmesan sauce (alfredo)

Cooking time : 6 minutes in a microwave oven

Rating : 3 / 5

Comments : Nice overall, though maybe a bit too much pepper in the sauce. Slightly overcooked again (I guess there is something between the Alfrodo sauce and microwave cuisine..). The packaging is not really users friendly when you eat it inside.
