Exactly. And you only get to choose from their "recipes" and no sides or
anything else are included. You pay to use their utensils, their
ingredients and *your* time. I think the last time we discussed this
concept I checked the web site someone provided and the cooking times were
about 3 hours on average in the oven if cooked from frozen. Where's the
time saving advantage in that? Don't know about you, but I can usually
throw together the same sort of thing, fresh, with sides, in under an hour.
