Cooking Hint .....

While cooking one of those 'frozen meals in a bag' that never seem to have exactly the right amount of flash-frozen sauce included, to which you've added a half cup or so of boiling water to get it all started melting in the microwave, if it is too 'watery' when it does finish melting in the oven, you can give it a 'crust' and prevent it from boiling all over the oven by simply sprinkling a layer of dehydrated potato flakes over the top of it before its
final few minutes in the oven. Don't stir the potato flakes into it - make them absorb the juice from the mix already there. If they get too dry and don't all get their share of juice, add just a dribble of boiling water on top, but only enough to dampen them down - you don't want them swimming. Cook for the remaining time or possibly a minute or two more, and voila! You're done! Serve and enjoy.
