It seems like every time I cook or bake, I end up with a pile of dishes. If I cook all at once, I mostly just have bowls and flatware to wash for a couple of days

It is already cooked. All you have to do is tear the top from both sides so it vents, and microwave it 90 seconds. Aldi has different kinds and flavors, and you can get it in discount places like 1.25 Tree. My daughter gets it at Aldi. That's what I tried first. It has a good texture and it's handy.
