Bertolli Premium Pasta Sauce, Summer Crushed Tomato & Basil, 13.5-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 6) Review

What are the roots of your Italian food maker? Villa Bertolli dates back to 1865 and the Tuscan town of Lucca. Francesco Bertolli sold many fine products, and by the end of the 19th century was exporting olive oil to major cities across the United States. 140 years later, Bertolli still sells quality products, including premium pasta sauces, such as this one.
OK, let's get down to brass tacks. Have you tried Bertolli sauces? If not, then you should, I find them to be quite good, with a pleasing level of spices. But, one problem is that the bottles are too large, and I hate leaving half-full bottles of sauce in my refrigerator. Well, enter this convenient pouch. I don't often cook for large parties, so I like this smaller portion that allows me to cook, and leave no unnecessary bottles around.
You can't please all the people all the time, right? Well, let's just say that I am quite pleased. I love this sauce, and I love the convenient pouch. I highly recommend this product!

Tomato sauce can be fantastic or flavorless, divine or dreary, and is often revered as a skill to master. Restaurant-style sauces are much more appealing to the senses, but often difficult to replicate at home for special occasions and a near impossibility for everyday dining. With an appealing innovation that will excite sauce lovers, the new Bertolli Premium Pasta Sauce in a pouch delivers three tempting recipes in a convenient microwavable pouch for two that cooks in only 90 seconds.
"Bertolli Premium Pasta sauce in a pouch are excellent option for the home chef, because they offer convenience without sacrificing quality," according to famed celebrity chef Rocco DiSpirito. "My passion for empowering the home chef has allowed me to appreciate and rely on short cut foods such as Bertolli's new sauce pouch, to help encourage people to be enjoy cooking at home with creative and fresh ingredients to add quality of any dish you prepare."
Bertolli Premium pasta sauces in a pouch are restaurant inspired sauces. Each sauce features "hero" ingredients (like succulent olives, earthy mushrooms, and plump plum tomatoes) in a thick base of crushed tomatoes. They are then finished off with sauteed onions and garlic; and 100% Bertolli Olive Oil, aimed to inspire discerning palates. Bertolli Premium pasta sauce contains flavorful crushed tomatoes rather than the tomato paste typically found in jarred sauce. These sauces use the natural sweetness of carrot juice so they contain no added sugar or artificial sweeteners. They meet the FDA requirements for being low in saturated fat, as they have one gram or less of saturated fat per serving. Each Bertolli Premium pasta sauce celebrates succulent and delicious ingredients; just like an Italian Chef's sauce would.
Surprisingly, Bertolli brings these sauces to consumers through innovations in design as well as taste: the sauces come in a convenient microwavable, fresh-taste-protection pouch. They are quick and easy to prepare, ready in 90 seconds, allowing more time to savor and enjoy a dinner for two. Available in three delicious varieties: Champignon and Portobello Mushroom--a complimentary combination of earthy champignons and tender portobellos; Sun Ripened Tomato and Olive--a celebration of ripe and plentiful black olives; and Summer Crushed Tomato and Basil--a dedication to ripe plum tomatoes, basking in the summer sun and harvested at the peak of freshness.

Nong Shim Bowl Noodle, Kimchi, 3.03-Ounce Packages, 12-Count (Pack of 2) Review

If you're an instant-ramen connoisseur, this is the noodle you've been searching for. Bowl Noodle is far better than any other instant noodle I've had. The broth is cloudy, rich, and immensely flavorful compared to any soup, not just other instants, but surprisingly light on the tongue and stomach... much unlike the, heavy, bland dollar-a-dozen cardboard noodle. (To emphasize the difference: Top Ramen and Ichiban actually make me throw up now, just because they're too bland and... cardboard... -esque... I can stomach Maruchan if I fill it with my entire spice cabinet.) Bowl Noodle has the same punch as Campbell Hearty when it comes to taste. Two of them fill me perfectly if I'm in desperate hunger. I'll have one for a snack instead of chips because it's a lot quicker and more satisfying. I recommend these to all my ramen-eating friends and they love them to death, but they're around 5-10x more expensive than Maruchan. Every penny is worth it, though. To those who buy: you're in for a treat. Enjoy!

I agree with the customers who have given it a 5 star rating. I like the sauce to be thin. I would say use a little less water to get a thicker consistency- or pour out some after cooking the mac.... Personally, I am not a fan of the Kraft Original Mac n Cheese because there is a powdery aftertaste consistency that sticks to teeth. However this one is so much smoother. At first I was surprised by the color being gray-yellow... but this does not affect the taste! I dont normally get full after eating just carbs but this one is pretty filling.

Healthy Choice Fresh Mixers Sweet Hickory BBQ, 7.95-Ounce Cup (Pack of 6) Review

Healthy Choice Fresh Mixers Sweet Hickory BBQ, 7.95-Ounce Cup (Pack of 6)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Rice doesn't work well in this type of container. When straining upside down, a large number of the grains get stuck in the grooves in the cover and around the edge of the container. Picking them out can be messy and defeat one of the main purposes of the product: fast, convenient preparation.
The chicken, which happens to be barely noticeable and practically tasteless, is very dark and looks more like beef than anything else.
On a positive note, the BBQ sauce, which includes corn as one of its ingredients, is pretty good.
While I'm a big fan of Healthy Choice Fresh Mixers, I won't be purchasing this particular flavor again.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I hate to waste food. Still, this is not the best quick version of Stroganoff I've ever tried.
I'm not certain what Healthy Choice is doing right and Marie Callendar is doing wrong with these nesting style shelf-stable meals, but I suspect it has to do with cooking time and the placement of the water fill line. The noodles in this meal came out a little sticky and not quite as close to al dente as I would have preferred; if ever I must try this product again, I'm going to aim past the fill line and add an extra minute to the maximum cook time on the box. Also, the sauce was on the cream of mushroom side of Stroganoff. Not enough sour cream bite. The meat was alright.
If I had to choose between this or a mystery sandwich from the wheel of death vending machine, I'd pick this. That's not really saying much. Marie Callendar's frozen entrees are much better than this shelf-stable offering.

I love this stuff; I eat it at work all the time as a default lunch if I don't want to head out. You'll have to try all the flavors to find the ones you like. Long Grain and Wild Rice is one of the good ones in my book. You can usually get this at Walmart and Target for about $1.60 a piece, so I don't know why anyone would pay the $45 for 12 that is currently listed here. It would be nice to buy a pack of 12 but you have to be competitive with B&M. At least with B&M I can vary the flavors in my 12.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Some engineer somewhere had fun with this one!
Here's how you can be eating your meal inside 5 mins - at least how it worked for me:
1) Pull the plastic film off of the top of the container
2) Peel away the plastic wrapping that holds the strainer lid in place
3) Remove the inner plastic bowl that contains the meat sauce, and set the meat sauce aside for the moment
4) Add just enough water to the uncooked pasta so that the water level reaches the fill line (the fill line is a little tough to see at first)
5) Shake the pasta so that it's all submerged in the water
6) Replace the strainer top and then cook the pasta in a microwave on high for 3 mins 30 secs
7) While the pasta is cooking, open a corner of the meat sauce
8) When the pasta is done, remove it from the microwave and let it sit while you warm up the meat sauce for 30 secs on high.
9) While the meat sauce is warming up, drain any remaining water from the pasta and remove the strainer lid.
10) As soon as the sauce is done open the meat sauce covering the rest of the way, pour it over the pasta, stir, and eat!
Wow! That was pretty convenient, and it actually worked as advertised! It wasn't even too hot to carry!
OK, what about the food?
To start with I'm just a regular guy who usually makes my lunches of the previous night's family dinner left-overs...i.e., not a gourmet, but not taste-dead either...
I was pleased to find that the pasta cooked well, but be advised that if you don't shake the pasta down before you cook it you might find a piece here and there that still has hard spots in it. There was plenty of sauce...no skimping on sauce volume, and the portion size was great for lunchtime. I wasn't stuffed when I was done, but I wasn't still hungry either.
The meat sauce was tangy and mildly spicy. The meat sauce contained small chunks of beef (i.e., looked like hamburger), and you could tell what it was if you looked closely. The pasta and sauce consistency was good, and I enjoyed the entire meal. Be advised that the sauce contains onion and garlic. If you know you have an important meeting or date later on, you will probably want to pack some mints. Say, that would be a great addition...an after-meal mint included with each meal that you can use to fight post-meal garlic breath.
If you like the combination of convenience and pasta, this may well an excellent choice for you.
If you are also environmentally conscious, though, you should probably think twice about this unit. Once you are done with your meal there's really not much you can do with the packaging...just recycle it. If, however, the packaging included a solid lid rather than just the strainer lid, the main container could be washed and then reused as a food storage container...alas, that is not the case.
Anyway, I thought the food was flavorful, the portion was adequate, and the convenience excellent. Environmental challenges drop the rating by a star though.
Lastly, you'll have to determine whether the per unit cost makes this a good deal for you.
4 stars

Marie Callender's  Home-Style Creations Meatball Lasagna, 6.49-Ounce Packages (Pack of 6)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Very similar to Con-Agra's Healthy Choice line ( as expected, same firm makes this), and nice to have around in your desk for a speedy lunch. As with the other products it is ready in about 3.5 minutes, plus another 20 seconds or so for the sauce.
Very JETSONS style prep, cook the pasta in the microwave, drain ( with included strainer) add sauce and you are good to go.
Things do go a bit downhill with the "mini meatballs", I think. They are tiny round kibble like things made of pork/beef and bread- not pleasing to the eye, and taste just so-so. The sauce itself is pleasing,a good mix of sweet and spicy.
A quick and easy fix, or add on is to add some shredded Parm/Romano to the top of the product after you have mixed it up ( not the grated kind, the shredded- easy to find, lasts forever).
I can easily imagine this product being used by office workers, college types and seniors ( who frequently do not eat well!). GREAT "care package" gift, that would be appreciated. Far better price here, than in traditional stores.
For what it is worth, the packaging is so nice ( as with it's Healthy Choice sibling), that frugal types may well contemplate saving it.
I admit, I once did see what would happen if I put the strainer and bowl in a dishwasher, and they came out fine. Added some mini noodles (ziti I think, from Barella) and a spritz of olive oil. Added in a well known "cheese product" ( starts with a "V") after draining. Super fine Mac and Cheese!
I certainly would not re-use the package much( maybe once), and never the sauce container part, but I just wanted to see .. A far better choice for at home experiments is the Fasta Pasta unit, frequently available on Amazon.
All in all, this is a good product. I dont think the meatball component has been perfected, but this is a very NEW brand. Give it a try.

Progresso Soup, Chicken & Wild Rice, 15.25-Ounce Microwavable Bowls (Pack of 6) Review

Progresso Soup, Chicken and Wild Rice, 15.25-Ounce Microwavable Bowls (Pack of 6)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Progresso makes an excellent soup and this chicken and wild rice soup with vegetables in a microwavable bowl is no exception. The soup is delicious and overall fairly healthy for you.
I like that the soup provides a good deal of chicken and both the rice and the vegetables taste fresh. The broth is also very tasty. Progresso makes a higher quality chicken soup than most other brands because they include more chicken in their chicken and wild rice soups.
One look at the ingredients shows us a few more positives: There are no trans fats and the soup is very low in fat. It is also comparatively low in cholesterol. However, it also contains sodium (900 mg!!!) so if you need to watch your salt intake, consider this before buying this product.
The top lid can be tough to take off and even then you have to handle the bowl very carefully to avoid spilling the soup. The soup is filled up to the brim of the bowl; and that makes it very tough not to spill at least a little! The top lid is actually very clunky and it doesn't really help enough when it's on top of the bowl inside the microwave oven, either. The cover doesn't completely cover the soup bowl in the microwave and some soup may well spill inside the microwave. And you DO need a solid surface on which you can open this container otherwise you are almost certain to have a spill (possibly for the second time) because the soup bowl is filled completely.
Overall, the soup itself is excellent. The packaging, on the other hand, is nothing special. The cover lid is cumbersome to remove and inside the microwave soup can spill out through the cover. The cost of the packaging makes the soup more expensive to buy. The packaging needs to be changed; perhaps Progresso could make a slightly higher bowl so that the soup won't easily spill out when you remove the plastic lid.
I highly recommend this for people who love chicken soup with wild rice and vegetables as long as they don't need to worry about sodium in their diets. If you are bothered by the packaging, however, then try another brand. Five stars for the actual soup combine with three stars for the packaging to make this a four star review.

Annie Chun's Udon Soup Noodle Bowl, 5.3-Ounce Bowls (Pack of 6) Review

Annie Chun's Udon Soup Noodle Bowl, 5.3-Ounce Bowls (Pack of 6)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Annie Chun's Udon Soup makes a quick meal that is larger than traditional soup cups and without the reconstituted texture. The soup bowl holds about 3 cups of soup, which is a nice size for lunch. It's all-natural and vegetarian, consisting of noodles in a flavorful soy soup, with dried mushrooms, onions, bok choy, herbs and spices. The ingredients come in 3 packages: a bag of noodles (not dried), a liquid soup base, and a packet of dried soup toppings. Just add boiling water.
Actually, the instructions on the package are unnecessarily complicated. They tell you to add water to loosen the noodles, drain it off, add the other ingredients, and then add more water. This isn't necessary. Maybe you need to loosen the noodles if you are going to microwave the soup. I suggest stirring the noodles after one minute in the microwave. But if you have a kettle handy, empty the 3 packages into your soup bowl, add boiling water up to about a half inch from the top of the bowl, and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. This is faster, easier and uses less water than the instructions recommend, and the soup comes out perfectly.
Annie Chun suggests adding spinach, snow peas, broccoli, mushrooms, shrimp or tofu to make your soup into a more complete meal. Some of those things would need to be cooked before you add them, but I find that fresh mushrooms and frozen peas make excellent additions that require no pre-cooking. If you put some sliced or diced mushrooms into the soup when you add the boiling water, they will partially cook while they sit for 5 minutes, acquiring a nice dense texture that is neither raw nor limp.
Ingredients: Noodles: wheat flour, water, tapioca starch, lactic acid, salt. Soup Base: soy sauce (water, wheat, soybeans, salt), shiitake mushrooms, sea vegetable, evaporated cane juice, rice wine, yeast extract. Toppings: green onion, maltodextrin, bok choy, tofu, red pepper, shiitake mushrooms, guar gum. Product is manufactured in a facility that uses peanuts. . The soup bowls are made of a corn product [...] that is biodegradable. Not that anything degrades in a landfill, but at least the bowl isn't toxic.

Of all of the Healthy Choice Fresh Mixers, this one is my favorite. I love how easy it is and it is all self contained. I suggest taking the instructions off before you take off the seal as this will help prevent noodles from flying every where :) The chicken in this can some times be chunky so you may want to mix it in after the noodles are cooked and heat it for another minute. I find the chicken to be cold other wise. I also have these in my disaster my closet as we are prone to tornadoes in our area and these will keep.
