Mutitasking Super Hero



Today I decided I wanted to make lasagna.  This is done by buying Stouffers Lasagna in a box.  I know, I know I go all out.  Anyway, you do have to put quite a lot into cooking this lasagna because if it is frozen, which for me it has always been, means either a cooking time of 2 + hours or remembering to thaw it.  I have done both and neither has worked well for me.  I usually get home from work around 5:30 or 6 which puts dinner at 7:30/8ish.  Waaaayyyyyy too late.  I have not yet mastered the art of thawing this lasagna which puts me right back at the 2 + hour cook time.  Yes, this is taking a little longer to explain than anticipated.  Anyway last time I cooked this meal and was pulling it out at 8:00 PM I thought to myself....if only the oven would start cooking this before I got home.  I quickly looked at the oven and to my delight there was a button that would do just what I wanted.  I tried it today and ate dinner at 6:30.  It was beautiful.  I felt like I was coming home to a nice meal that someone else had made for me, but I had done it...while I wasn't home.  I was in two places at once, I was a super hero today.  A multitasking super hero. Who cares that the oven did most of the work.  Not me.

Has anyone else discovered this fantastic little feature on their oven?

That IS magic! I'm a HUGE HUGE fan of Stouffers lasagna. In fact, I really don't like homemade lasagna. I had a bad experience once and haven't dared to eat anyone else's since. I'm glad you mastered it. That's awesome.
