I'm not one for microwaveable crap, BUT those jimmy dean pancake sausage sticks are pretty darn good!!

any other microwaveable things that are worth trying?

    Try these. Made by Hormel. No refrigeration, so you can store a lot in the cabinet. Just microwave for 90 seconds and let sit for a while. They are really good. I keep quiet a few on hand during hurricane season because they are so easy to store. Kinda like a MRE for storage, but a lot better. They have quiet a selection, too, more than these four, including beef tips and gravy, spaghetti etc. Try and enjoy.
    After you try them, post and let us know what you think.

    I think I'll have that Chicken Alfredo now since I have them out. [:D][:D][:D]

    No, it isn't. Since the 'HOT' post the other day about the Rebel Flag, (and I didn't win the vest) I just thought that I would use my flag for a back-drop for all my photos that I post from now on.[:D]

    These are not frozen, BTW. Just store them in the cabinet with the cereal and oatmeal. Can't be any easier than that.
    Since you are from Florida and hurricane vulnerable, you should keep some on hand also.


    Thanks---Peabo

    What is the shelf life?

    Shelf life is about 18 months.
    These I just got and there is a date on the back of 10/25/09, so I am assuming about 18 months.

    They don't stay around here very long. When my Grandson sees them, he always has to have one. I do try to stock up during hurricane season though.

    BTW There are also instructions on the back telling you how to heat them in just boiling water, no electricity needed. I keep a gas grill on hand for times when the electricity is off. Just boil water on the stove and put meal in water.

    Good for taking hunting where you will have a fire going. Just put a pot of water over the fire, bring to a boil and put the container in the water (it is in a plastic container and sealed with a plastic seal) for 8 to 9 minutes. Remove from water and let stand for one minute and enjoy.

    Net weight - 10 oz.
    Go to http://www.hormelfoods.com/brands/hormel/HormelCompleats.aspx


    I haven't tried boiling any yet, haven't had the need.

    Dinty Moore Beef Stew. About the same as a peabo dinner except it's beef stew.

    Mark, I posted the web site that tells about them including how many different meals they have:

    http://www.hormelfoods.com/brands/hormel/HormelCompleats.aspx

    Just scroll down and it gives a list of all of them available.

    James,
    Dinty Moore is one brand owned by Hormel also.
    It is also listed on the same web-site.

    They are much cheaper than MREs, less trouble to fix and in my opinion, much better.

    I'm finding that I have to cut back on microwavable foods. It seams like they take the express route through my system since I can't be more than 10 feet from a bathroom a half hour after eating quick foods.

    Try one of these, Dan, they are not spicy or as greasy as some other microwaveable foods.

    Try just one and let us know. It shouldn't give you any trouble.

    BTW, congratulation on your promotion !!![;)]
    Ahh, the good ole days. I made E-4 (I assume that is what you are now) in Feb. 1964!!!
    Damn, that was 44 years ago.[:0]
