Simple, right? We've all had TV Dinners every now and then. Easy Peasy. You peel off the plastic covering over the weird mashed potato stuff, pop it in the microwave, cook for four minutes, and you're done.
A Kid Cuisine is supposedly the same thing, only more kid friendly. There is a difference, however, that becomes painfully apparent when you try to actually cook it. Here's an example of the instructions:
Step one. Remove plastic from entire meal.
Step two. Take out chicken nuggets, Juice packet, and fruit snacks.
Step three. Throw the rest in the microwave and cook for two minutes.
Step four. Whilst cooking, juggle the chicken pieces while whistling a song from Cherone-era Van Halen
Step five. Dip fruit snacks in boiling water, but only for 7-10 seconds.
Step six. Forty-eight seconds after microwave dings, put chicken nuggets back in compartment number 3 and remove corn niblets. Cook for two minutes.
Step seven. Remind children dinner is almost ready.
Step eight. After microwave dings again, wait three minutes because chicken nuggets have turned into mushy, boiling, poo-colored blobs of lava.
Step nine. Open frozen goo packet and sprinkle on nuggets.f
Step ten. As you serve child #1, try not to remember you bought three other dinners with completely different, but equally complicated instructions.
Ugh. It ended up taking 1/2 hour to make four of them.
