Any melted fat from a cooked steak better end up in the side dishes or a sauce. The leftover missing weight is just from internal water boiling off - the act of cooking is basically dehydrating it, which is why sloppy steaks became popular. It's basically just the same thing as reconstituting powdered lemonade, but meat

Microwave dinners were never good but I always thought they were palatable. This is no longer the case. Like they are no longer edible. I don't know if this is a new development, or if it's because I've been cooking well for a while, but I can't get like two bites into most of them anymore before tossing them out.

Gotta nuke something
I used to pick up some of the Michelina's frozen pastas, as they were a decent late night stack. They recently tweaked their packaging, but looks like they also changed the food because they are inedible now. The spag comes out like soup, the rotini comes out like drywall filler. Mac and cheese turns into a giant lump.

Any and every time you see a label saying "New and Improved! Now better than ever!", that's code for "We have discovered new ingredients that make this product significantly worse, but it saves us 2-cents in manufacturing."

I don't think I've ever had a frozen microwave ready meal. But even chilled ones are definitely shittier now. Sainsbury's used to do some decent-for-a-ready-meal curries but they are now bland and cost way more.

All frozen microwave meals suck but I lay about 70% of the blame on microwaves. Apart from briefly warming something they're the worst.

Nah Microwaves can be really good for some things, you just gotta know how to use them and what they're good for, and importantly what they're really not good for.
