I tried the sirloin stew, and I know it will burn if you don't add more water than the directions tell you to,(I was home, it was a Sunday, so I could monitor it and I caught it in time) I would say at LEAST twice as much water, but otherwise I thought it was an okay product for something that is factory mass produced.

The bottom line is, McCain is selling convenience. I'm willing to pay for convenience to sit in my freezer until I'm in a pinch. I might buy this again knowing what I have to do differently from the directions.
