Michelina's : Cheese Stuffed Rigatoni In A Marinara Sauce

Manufacturer : Michelina's

Product : Cheese Stuffed Rigatoni In A Marinara Sauce

Contents : Rigatoni pasta, cheese, tomato sauce

Cooking time : 3 minutes in a microwave oven

Rating : 3 / 5

Comments : Interesting, although I would seriously recommend you bring a spoon along if you want to eat the sauce. Sadly, I only have a fork at work. I also wish there would have been a couple of more cheese rigatoni in the box. The sauce is a bit spicy, be warned.

Compliments : Macaroni & Cheese

Manufacturer : Compliments

Product : Macaroni & Cheese

Contents : Pasta, cheese sauce

Cooking time : 3 minutes in a microwave over

Rating : 2 / 5

Comments : A serious letdown. Even with less cooking time than what is suggested in the box, the cheese kind of exploded in the microwave. After the frustration of having to clean the microwave in front of your collegues waiting to use it, I was left with too few cheese sauce to be able to mix to the pasta who were cold by then.

Compliments : Swedish Meatballs

Manufacturer : Compliments

Product : Swedish Meatballs

Contents : Pasta, meatballs

Cooking time : 3 minutes in a microwave over

Rating : 3 / 5

Comments : An interesting one actually as I had no clue what Swedish meatballs were or were supposed to taste like before today. As usual I took off 1 minute from the suggested cooking time and it was just fine. The meatball to pasta ratio was satisfactory (6 meatballs here). Nothing special, but not bad either.

President's choice : General tao chicken

Manufacturer : President's choice

Product : General tao chicken

Contents : Breaded seasoned chicken, sweet and spicy chinese sauce, vegetable fried rice

Cooking time : 5 minutes in a microwave oven

Rating : 4 / 5

Comments : A nice one, I liked it. However the "vegetables" in the rice are only peas and omelette. The chicken and sauce are good, maybe too few compared to the quantity of rice in the box. Still a bit expensive though, knowing that the whole collection had a price decrease over the last few months, and why is this one never on sale ?
