Skeeter, I have a frozen dinner at home that says: Serving suggestion: Defrost. True story. My summer between freshman and sophomore years in college I stayed on campus and shared an apartment. I came home one evening and one of my roommates was complaining that the oven was broken. He said he tried to cook a TV dinner and after 45 minutes it was still semi-frozen. Since I was in engineering school and he was pre-Med I decided I would be the best to check out the oven. After about 10 minutes it was pretty clear the oven was fine so I asked him what he did. He said he followed the instructions. I read the instructions and it said pre-heat oven to 450 degrees then place dinner inside for 45 minutes. I looked at him and he said that is what he did, he preheated the oven to 450 degrees, once it got there he turned the oven off and put the dinner inside. To this day he still believes the instructions were incomplete and I believe you can never be clear enough. BTW I think the last item on your list will only truly amuse Brits.
