Pumps' Perplexities

I own three slowcookers......One each, small, medium and
large.....Over the course of several years I have learned how
to use this kitchen appliance......They are great for certain
"combination" type dishes, stews, chillies etc......Best
of all you can enhanced taste and flavor out of a cheap
piece of beef, pork or chicken......

Well it seems that two food companies are marketing
frozen entrees for the slowcooker.....Just open the bag,
remove savory seasoning sauce, defrost it, and place it
in a "cooker" with water and the contents of the frozen
package and "voila" -- a meal.....

I am fully aware that the "food" chemists working in the
large corporations do not want to offend the taste of
their customers......So corporate food has a tendency to
be "bland".......

But give me a break......For the exorbitant price one
has to pay for this package of frozen crap, it is not worth
the labor to open the bag in the first place......

One can do a lot better with a cheap piece of meat, a
package of frozen mixed vegetables and a can of broth....
At least "you" know what "you" are putting into the
pot.......Pumps
