Tall pacls - Short Microwaves

[Elemental]

Anyone else having trouble microwaving the packs? The sachet type packs i mean, before you snip the top off they are too tall for my micro lol. My korma just fell over and sprayed sauce everywhere

yup having same issue, I have given up and decant into bowl before microwaving now..I have a bowl with a vented lid just for microwaving stuff, which given the explosive nature of beans etc has proved invaluable!

yeah i will have to do that now, you'd think that they'd have thought of this though!! lol

I know, I was a bit miffed when my microwave ended up wearing my bacon n bean soup...and I thought my mw was pretty standard sized so we cant be the only ones who have this issue.

I might suggest it to them!!

good plan...we want to be thinner but we want the pouches shorter n fatter..!

I just cut the tops off, and as my microwave is more powerful than the heat timings on the packet, heat for the minimum amount of time. It works fine

Have the same issue - I just cut too much of the top off (ie more than the tear strip) and am living with the splattered microwave cleaning life that goes along with it. Might start to decant though, never thought of that doh! lol
