Microwave grilling - you can do it too!
I am a fan of Lean Cuisine meals. Some of them actually have great flavor, especially the new Spa Cuisine meals, like the salmon, basil, and orzo one. YUM! They're very convenient, especially for workday lunches. They're low calorie, low fat, all that good stuff. They recently added four new meals to their line. They are Causal Eating Classics, which are the line in which pizzas are found. The latest additions are paninis. Now, you might wonder, how can you make a panini in the microwave? After all, a panini is a toasted sandwich with very visible grill marks from the grill on which it is toasted. It's not simply a toasted sandwich like a grilled cheese, toasted in a frying pan. A panini is specially toasted - on a grill! Well, I wondered the same exact thing, but one look at the packaging made it clear how this miracle was accomplished. They have invented a Revolutionary Grilling Tray, and it is included in the price of the meal! What more could one ask for? Find this hard to believe? See for yourself!
Well, that's all well and fine, you might be thinking, but we all know that the packages lie. The food inside almost never even resembles the photos on the outside. I knew you'd be thinking that, so let's see what the inside looks like. First, the frozen stuff, pre-revolutionary grilling tray.
Remember, don't judge a book by its cover. Maybe the unappetizing mass above will look and taste better once it's cooked on.....ta da da da... the revolutionary grilling tray included with the meal FREE! 
So... what was the end result after 3 minutes in the microwave? Judge for yourself:
It actually tasted pretty good, although the toast was a tiny bit rubbery. It's kind of smallish, but that keeps the calories down. As you can see, the revolutionary grilling tray, which is included for free, did put grill marks on the toast, even in the microwave. A panini? A pretty poor imitation of the real thing, but not a bad toasted sandwich. They come in four varieties. This one, chicken, spinach and mushrooms, is my favorite.
