See I'm a big fan of Quick Pouches. Thats a generic brand of food pouches similar to that of "Hot Pockets" except not revulting to the taste like Hot Pockets are these days. I know what you're thinking but I had a Pepperoni Hot Pocket not too long ago thinking "Oh what have I been missing?!" and upon taking the first bite nearly gagged. And struggled to finish it after that. It was absolutely disgusting. Tasted nothing even remotely close to that of pepperoni and cheese. Had some weird orange sauce in it. Well thats neither here nor there thus my love of Quick Pouches who still have that good ol classic taste without all the humfoolery of adding extra ingredients in an attempt to enhance the flavor of pepperoni and cheese or my personal favorite "Meatballs and Mozzarella" So on to the epiphany I <b>thought</b> I had....See the instructions say slip into microwavable sleeve(which I always do) and microwave on high for 2 minutes and 15 sec. Then let stand for 1 min. The only problem with this is that putting it in for 2 minutes and 15 sec. produces nothing but warm, soggy pouch bread and a cold partially frozen inside. Not very appetizing. So I usually just hit the frozen pizza button on my microwave which microwaves them for approximately 3 min and 10 sec. but still the very middle of the inner goodness is still somewhat cold and not melted. This vexes me so so I think perhaps if I stab holes into the pastry with a knife on both sides(My supposed epiphany) and maybe this will somehow ventilate the heat inward to the very core of the tastey goodness inside and heat it properly. That failed. So as a result I always heat them the 3 min. and 10 sec. then take them out, cut them into halfs, and stick them back in with the insides facing the lamp for another minute. This produces a warm inside but it's fucking time consuming as all hell! I was wondering if any of you have had similar troubles with your pizza pouches and if you have discovered any techniques to preparing them that have proven successful. I have contimplated using the oven to heat them but thats equally a chore in and of itself as I have to wait for the oven to pre-heat before hand which is also very time consuming. Any comments that dare to say "Why don't you just eat real food?" will be ignored entirely. Thank you.

Asta!!
