A stuffed hash brownn? That could only appeal to the junk food junkies in America. It’s probably banned everywhere else on the planet.

Pouches? Trader Joe’s pre-cooked frozen organic brown rice. Each box contains three pouches. A pouch nukes to perfection in 3 minutes. Makes two cups.

Trader Joe’s also sells a Tuna (yellowfin) in green curry sause or in Red Panang curry sauce. Both go great with their brown rice. They are also in pouches in boxes. Look by the canned tuna section.

The rice pouch and tuna pouch s a perfect quantity match, imho. The tuna is imported from Thailand. The Red Panang curry sauce is labeled “HOT” but I didn’t think so. A pouch of tuna (7oz.) is considered a single serving it could be considered high in sodium. The red is 1240mg sodium and the green is 1520mg sodium.

Fully cooked, ready to eat.

Lunch or dinner for two ready in 3 minutes and change. What can I say, I’m a “pouch potato!”

I’m surprised by the 2 IHOP At Home reviews you’ve done. You’d think IHOP could hack frozen breakfast food well…or at least make frozen versions of their restaurant food. I’ve never seen these omelet crispers on their menu.

Try this in the oven. 12 minutes on each side, it’s so delicious. The outside turns into a perfectly baked crust.

Yuck! Sorry you had to review that. I wondered what other products there were in the Ihop at Home line (like, I don’t know, maybe pancakes?!) and didn’t find those, but there were some french toast stuffed pastries that didn’t look too bad. But this brand doesn’t really have a good track record so far.

As far as things with a pouch–I like the Uncle Ben’s Ready Rice (or something like that) in the 4-cheese flavor. It’s easy to eat at work!

wow after so many months of not watching the burns the format is the same. nice surprise! i need to get caught up

thanks for this entertaining review

Considering that the pouch included a crisping sleeve, I’d wager that the product would cook up more soggy and less structurally sound.  Since oil doesn’t evaporate it just spatters away, it might just make a huge mess inside your Microwave.  

FFM:  Does the product include baking insructions?  That seems to me the only way that the product might become passable.  

I would think the paper pouch would absorb some of the excess grease. Were there alternate cooking instructions for an oven? I find many of things made for the micro usually do better in the regular oven/Toaster oven.  Good idea- poor execution IHOP.  I will stick with going to their restaurant.
 as for the QOTD: first thing that came to mind other then a momma kangaroo were Army MRE’s.

Hi, Greg!

My morning started off at Walmart, picking up a chair that my 9-5er had ordered. The process to fetch that is worth a review of it’s own probably. I also wanted to get something for breakfast and perhaps a couple of frozen items for lunches, etc. I drifted by the frozen breakfast area on my way to perhaps a breakfast bowl or like item and – what’s THIS? IHOP at Home? Hmmm. For (the same prices as yours) $3.67, I snatched the style you had and the sausage and egg for later/future consumption and checked out. What I think you might be missing in your review are some of the essential facts. My “usual” meal at IHOP is the Ham Melt, but with turkey and hasbrowns, so many of the same smells not only hit the mark for me from the sausage and egg Omlet Crisper I had, but also for my coworkers. Three of the 6 people around me came to ask me what I was cooking and that it smelled delightful. I Obliged them and went to send them a link on the Internet about them and found your review. So mark “Scent” in the positive category outright. It didn’t smell like a Hot Pocket breakfast offering, it smelled like I’d imported something from IHOP. (Marks tick on proverbial chalkboard for the Cripser). 2. The Pouch: I too am a fan, but doubly so. My offering wasn’t nearly as “eat with a spoon” in gellatinous state as yours. How’s the power on your microwave? I used the reasonably jackass down the middle unit we have in our lunchroom and the smell, and consistency was AWESOME.  Check. 3. Taste: “Odd?” Not so much. Tasted like eggs, hashbrowns and sausage with some juice and it was tasty. I’m not a super greasy eater either and hate when things “drip and ooze” in almost every fashion and Greg – I didn’t have anything like that in my product, in my pouch or on the plate that I had.  Check. 4. Does it “hold up”: I didn’t have any of the deformity, “need to use the plate to prop it up”ness that you did. I do think I could have eaten it with a fork but not because I had to because I wouldn’t have looked like my daughter eating something from hand to mouth. Check. 

All in all, I really liked the item. Something different, that WASN’T a breakfast pocket, provided by one of my favorite places to eat locally?  Check.

I’m glad I found your site and it makes me want to go find more things that didn’t measure up and perhaps do a counter review on them.

Thanks for your reviews and I will return and push to my audience for sure.

Favorite Pouch-based item: How about a pitcher’s resin pouch from the realm of baseball? Small, single purpose, always present and literally touches the hands of greats from era to era.

Cheers!

I was actually trying one of these for the first time, as I was watching your video. I agree with you 100%! They are nothing less than weird, bordering disgusting. Definitely a waste of 4 bucks. I did not finish the first one and will not be eating the other three. Ew!

I was eating a sausage one as I watched the video, lol I had to toss the box when I brought them home so they would fit in my freezer. I think it may have been a blessing…I remembered the time but did not know it needed to be cooked in the pouch. So I plopped it out on a paper plate and set it in the micro for 3 minutes. It was a bit mushy at first, but by the time I started the video, it had crisped up nicely for the most part. Ate mine with a fork only, just cause that’s my preference, I agree it’s not a pick up and go item. 

All in all I’d give it a 4 for greasy goodness lol, definitely not an everyday item…may be yummy after a night of drinking??? I tend to lean toward healthy eating, but I just couldn’t resist trying this masterpiece of junk food

QOTD: My favorite thing in a pouch? Big League Bubble Gum!!! 

Funny how you are the ONLY person out of literally HUNDREDS of people who tried this that likes it. And secondly, check your spelling. When you try to appear intellectually gifted by using words the average man wouldn’t use, and then misspell them, you really come off like a dullard.

I agree with your 1 out of 5 review and so do my children who watched along with me. We just had the misfortune of having to eat these. I had to stop and warn others!! Thankfully you already have. I don’t know WHAT IHOP was thinking. Their marketing research team should be facing some serious heat for this catastrophe. Your reconstituted egg comment was on point.  powerdy aftertaste. mushy. pastey. Taste like something an evil lunch lady would come up with to punish children.

I support all the negative comments posted so far. These things are disgusting and a huge disappointment. They cook horribly and are exceptionally small. Absolutely terrible product.

I never buy breakfast items but saw IHOP and thought I would give it a shot.
I should have read the reviews first.  This is about the most disgusting thing I
have put in my mouth in ages.  Greasy and rubbery waste of $4 in my opinion.
Won’t buy again!

Horrible….  Threw it out
