  • We're trying 7 frozen microwavable meals. They might be different from the frozen food found in your country, but that's what makes them so interesting. Things we're trying out on this video:
    Korean Hot Dogs-Omurice-Fried Rice-Shumai Dumplings-Pizza-French Fries-Ramen

    Those frozen ramen soups would do very well in the US. Especially for young students coming home after school and wanting a snack.. they usually make a Cup Noodles anyhow lol. Or college kids. Heck anybody would love them. I know I would buy them.

      Costco has these! You don't put them in a pan but it's a bowl with toppings (veggies and chicken) that you add water to then microwave. They're called Ajinomoto Tokyo Style Shoyu Ramen with Chicken.

    I wasn't surprised the pizza didn't turn out that great, mainly because it was a microwave dish. Putting it into an oven for grilling might have helped make a crunchy crust instead of turning out chewy. Same with the fries. The fried rice looked really good, though.

    The frozen ramen soup, the fried chicken rice and the omurice look great. I love frozen potstickers here in the States. They even come with 2 packets of a ginger sauce. Really tasty and super fast to cook in the microwave. It's almost 2:00AM here and I have the "munchies". Time for a late night snack. This is one of the dangers of watching this channel in the middle of the night. Don't even think of the word, "diet". 😱🤣

    I made my parents get me microwave fries like that for a snack when they left me home alone for the weekend (it was the '90s and parenting was different) and they turned out terrible. Of course I had begged so much for them even tho they said they'd be bad so I never admitted how bad they were. They'd sometimes get it for me as a treat and I had to keep pretending to like them. Bleck. Glad to see microwave fries technology seems to have finally made them crunchy.

      I let them thaw somewhat then use the desert dry heat of a toaster oven to crisp them. Works for pizza too, as well as breaded or battered chicken strips, shrimp and fish fillets.

  • @HayTatsuko

    That grey metallized film in your pizza packaging is called a susceptor. It catches microwave energy and converts it to infrared to heat up stuff right above it intensely; ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susceptor ) Your pizza's maker had one for the crust, but put the burden of browning the top cheese on you by suggesting a visit to the broiler. There's probably a reason you don't get a pizza container with a susceptor on top to act as a broiler, too -- might not work for either browning the crust or broiling the cheese on top if the energy were divided between two panels.
    I'm giggling that you also reviewed Ore-Ida microwave French fries -- Ore-Ida is a US company. The name is from Oregon and Idaho, two US states famous for their potatoes, though only Idaho actually has "Famous Potatoes" for the tagline on its vehicle license plates. Another YT reviewer did this the other day and I loved her enjoyment of it. I can get this at my local Dollar General and though I don't think it's a better value than getting a kilogram pack of cut fries and baking or frying them myself, the Ore-Ida microwaveable fries are not bad at all.
    The fried rice looked incredibly good, and so did the Korean hot-dog oddity and omurice. Even the not-really-lasagne looked tasteful, but I am 100% on board with you -- lasagne needs to have at least 3 layers to be the real thing!
    All that other stuff looked good to me, but not enough to warrant more commentary... or maybe I'm just too darned tired!

    It's interesting that microwave wattages are lower in Japan; in the US 1000W seems standard, based on heating instructions for frozen food.
    The fried rice, omurice, and shumai were most appealing, to me! The ramen puck was kind of hilarious, but is probably a healthier way to have quick ramen than something that has to be shelf-stable.
    One of my favorite frozen meals is Amy's Thai Green Curry; you microwave it with the wrapper on, so the rice comes out nicely moist/sticky, and the curry (vegetarian) is a little sweet, which I like.

    Hot Pockets in America have that Silver-ish lining on a sleeve. It helps brown the crust by reflecting the microwaves back up into the food with out causing sparks. I used to like the Pizza Hot-pockets in the past when they actually put a lot of real slices of pepperoni in them, now it’s only cheese and pepperoni bits. So sad.
    The microwave pizza looks pretty good considering it’s under $3 US. I once had pizza at Sbarros in Waikiki that was so horrible it was worse than a Hot Pocket.

    The pizza was very "bready" and the sauce was bright red...it looked too sweet. The fries...Ore-Ida does very well with its products. The rice did look good and the "bag/bowl" is ingenious. Sorry...for me, hotdogs and microwaves don't mix. Omurice did look interesting...the ketchup reminds me of how I sometimes put ketchup on scrambled eggs. My mom makes THE best lasagna and a restaurant near me comes in second....anything else is usually not satisfacting. Ramen looks really amazing...creative idea! I've had take out version of the shrimp and it is very good. The ice cream is odd looking but nonetheless looks good. Thanks so much for another wonderful video.

    That is a heat mat to make the bottom burn. OK on the pizza. Anytime it works the same on other products.

    I think I would like every dish you tried, even the pizza (but, I do like a pizza dough that is more like "bread").
