And if poverty gets too much for you, just switch to an all ramen diet…

The cook time seems the same (7-8 minutes), it just seems like the usual prep work has been removed from the equation.
Is the shrink-wrap unable to be recycled after being ran through the microwave? For me, if the plastic is not recyclable, that would be what is horribly wrong about the product.

What is the advantage to be had here? With normal potatoes, you just store them someplace dark, and they stay good for a very long time. If you leave them stored too long, you can plant them for more next year.

once I took my nephew on a hike and we came across an apple tree. Just out in the middle of nowhere. The apples were muted in color and speckled. Anyway, I pick a few and tossed one to him. He did not want eat it. It wasn’t safe he said. Fucker had only gotten apples from a store. “these don’t look like real apples.” I finally got him to eat one. And I can’t say they were the best apples ever but they were pretty good and just picking them off a tree for free was special.

You don’t bake much, do you? Steamed potatoes are not baked potatoes.

That was one of my favorite things when I was a kid… Discovering a new tree in the middle of nowhere – sometimes they were wonderful, sometimes they were awful, most of the time they were meh.

Perhaps the shrink-wrap is there to help get an extra-crispy potato skin.
Microwave, then put in the toaster oven for that Oven-Fresh texture.
I almost selected this book as required reading for a packaging design class I teach. Now I’m thinking I should revisit the decision.

The plastic is going to vaporize and then condense inside of the plastic?

Wrapped together makes perfect sense, and is not overly wasteful. It’s wrapping everything individually when it already comes prewrapped by nature that’s silly, useless and wasteful.

Talk about a recipe for disaster. Just add heat to unleash all of their chemical goodness.

Yeah, but they have so much more flavour on the bone.
