Description

The new Simmer & Steam tray cooks each ingredient the way it is meant to be cooked. Proteins are simmered in their own delicious sauce and vegetables steamed to perfection to lock in their taste and texture. And since the components are separated in the tray, you can customize and combine this meal to your taste!

    I recieved this as a part of the Product Review Club - Thank you! I selected the Chicken Teryaki with brown rice and vegetables. Here are my overall thoughts on this product. I thought it was very tastely, and tasted like fresh, not frozen which I really liked. The ability to customize the meal was nothing special since the chicken and sauce were already mixed together. In comparison to other frozen meals that I have tried, I would say this is dfinitely better quality, great portion size, great taste. It was very easy to cook, and when complete, the food was hot, but not mushy - vegetables were crisp, rice was not too soft, the meat was evenly cooked. I also liked the fact that it had 2 servings of vegetables, and that the rice was brown rice. I was happy that it was filling and the calorie count was lower than most frozen entrees. I would definitely consider purchasing this again and would certainly reccomend it to my friends and family as well. Thank you!

    ~I received a coupon for this item in order to test/review~

    I bought the Chicken Teriyaki.

    Initially, I was quite surprised by the size/amount of packaging with this product. I find it difficult to fathom that they couldn't get it in a smaller box/containers with less waste, however, this alone would not prevent me from buying it again (but it would affect the space in my freezer!).
    The instructions were very easy to follow. I liked that you could add as much sauce/chicken as you'd like. The flavour was very nice and the chicken/vegetables were cooked/steamed well. I found the chicken slightly rubbery (but not even close to most microwaved chicken meals though!). I found this product very similar in taste/quality to the Healthy Choice steamers, so the only thing that would really sway me between the two would be price. (This one was slightly higher where I purchased it).
    Yes, I would definitely recommend this to a friend and would purchase it again.

    I received a coupon to test out this product for free. I tried the roast garlic chicken. I first noticed the appearance of the red skinned potatoes, zucchini and broccoli, bright, non-mushy veggies that looked like they were prepared right in my kitchen. I was ready to taste, the chicken was the first thing I tried and I was won over immediately! Meaty chunks of real white chicken, not some spongy formed version of my favorite white meat. The garlic sauce complemented all of the flavours and the texture of the perfectly steamed veggies was spot on. This meal was absolutely restaurant quality and delicious! This product is much better than other frozen varieties, and I would recommend to others.

    Although this is a step up from the traditional Lean Cuisine, I still find that the taste is a bit bland. The chicken pieces left me an aftertaste. Unfortunately I would not recommend this product.

    - I received this item free to test -

    I purchased the Lean Cuisine Fresh Inspirations Chicken Teriyaki.

    I found the portion size great and the instructions on how to cook very easy to follow (though at quick glance I thought it said cook for 11 minutes under step three - not 1.5 minutes!) I started eating the veggies and meat separately but ended up combining. It was good either way and I enjoyed that you had the option!

    I found the vegetables to be fresh tasting and the rice was great. The chicken portion size was also great. I was not a fan of the teriyaki sauce - but that is a personal thing.

    I would highly recommend this frozen dinner and look forward to trying other flavours .

    I received this product to try as part of the review club. I used my coupon to try the Shrimp Alfredo. I had seen the product before and had been wanting to try it. The shrimp were cooked well and the sauce was really tasty. The veggies were crisp and not soggy. I have tried the chicken one before it and it was also veyr good. These are definately lunches I would take to work, because they are healthier than most out there. I would recommend these to my friends and family, as tasty convenient lunches.

    Wow, I am really impressed with the taste!
    I could not beleive how fresh tasting this product was considering it was frozen. I tried the chicken Thai, the sauce was spectacular. The rice was not fantastic but hidden in with the great sauce and veggies it was certainly a great fast lunch meal.

    I received a coupon to try this product free. The kind I chose was shrimp alfredo. It was so yummy! the shrimp was a great flavour and texture.....especially for being frozen. The veggies were crisp, big and flavourful. It definitely did not taste like a frozen meal. In fact, it tasted as if i had just made it myself. It was delicious and I will definitely be buying this again. I definitely recommend these yummy meals.
