Don't listen to the other comments
If you microwave for 12-13 minutes and then mash with ground black pepper with a stick blender, you get a perfect low fat alternative to mashed potato. Use it all the time (when I can get it - please order more Tesco!) to top cottage and fish pies.
All Good
Great for my curry base, great size.
Don't buy it.
I used some in a shepherd's pie. Glad that I didn't put much in. Cooked the rest as instructed but it was revolting and even salt, pepper and butter didn't make it edible. Bin job.
Ignore micro instructions and boil…lovely.
Always boil root veg for mashing, add butter and pepper…delicious. I use the drained water to make gravy. Also perfect as an easy soup base…add onions, chilli, fresh herbs and maybe a lil ginger then blitz. Convenient, healthy and easy.
AVOID
It was only fit for the bin. I cooked it on the cooker top for ages and it didn't soften and just went a horrible colour. Threw it away.
Don't m'wave - boil, mash, season, roast - superb
I boil rather than m'wave and have never had a problem, drain and put back on hob to steam off any residual water. Mash it with plenty of butter and black pepper and some nutmeg, I then just put in a dish, cover with foil in the bottom of the oven with the roast. No issues at all and a fantastic side.
Disappointing root mash.
Cook it in the microwave as per instructions for 12 mins for 900w added butter and some warm milk to make it creamy . Waste of time swede still hard and just short of cooked. Very disappointed.
You may find the veg does not cook when microwaved
I microwaved the diced veg in the bag but the contents were hard after 13 minutes. They were not soft enough to mash after 23 minutes. I had bought 2 bags and took the second of them into a Tesco. I was given a refund on that but was messed around re. a refund on the first bag. This happened in early Spring, prior to lockdown, and I don't know if the product has been improved as I have not bought since.
