Here is my exemplification essay about pot pies.
Microwaveable Chicken Pot Pies
Weve all been hungry at some point. Some people, like me, get hungry very often. What is the prime snack when you suffer these hunger pangs? There are an infinite number of consumables to choose from, and a microwaveable chicken pot pie is an excellent choice.
A frozen chicken pot pie, though nourishing and delicious, has its obstacles, but they are easily overcome. These are the trials of pot pie preparation: acquiring a pie, venting the pie, and the time needed to properly cook the pie; and these must be overcome before consumption.
You may be wondering, Where can I get a chicken pot pie? I thought they were only available at KFC. No my friend, you see, America is a great country. You should be proud you live here in the bastion of freedom, the breadbasket of planet earth, for salvation has come to us unannounced. Chicken pot pies are now readily available from local food distributors. Wal-Mart is an excellent example of a pot pie carrying store. They are very affordable as well, usually under $1. So it becomes apparent that the acquisition of a pot pie amounts to no more than a leisurely drive to the local supermarket, cash in hand, hunger in stomach.
Believe it or not, there are dangers associated with the cooking of the pie. A disaster looms on the horizon for those who dont heed these words. The pie must be vented by some means, the easiest of which is to cut a + shape in the middle of the pie with a knife; of course make sure to get your parents to help you when handling such a dangerous object. If the vent is not opened in the pies crown and you start to cook it, the pie will swell up like a balloon. When it reaches its breaking point, it will unleash a thick gooey hell upon your microwave. Torrents of gravy, chicken, and fillings will splatter amongst the innards of your cooking device, which will obviously be counterproductive to our goal.
Perhaps the most important aspect on this quest of pie preparation is the length of time you allot the pie to be cooked in the microwave. You should have assumed by now that the microwave is the mode of cooking for this snack. In my own personal experience I have found that three minutes and thirty seconds is an excellent time. However, you must let the pie sit before you eat it, otherwise it will be too hot. If you let it sit in the microwave, it will cool off slowly but wont get cold, whereas if you set it on the table you might forget about it and it will get cold. Microwaves are all different though, you will have to find the perfect time for your particular microwave. The boxes usually recommend between three and four minutes.
A small hunger is easily sated by one of these pot pies, but if you still hunger, have another. It is a good idea to stock several in case such an occasion happens. Once consumed you should feel elated and accomplished. The pot pie was cooked successfully, and so the biggest adversaries of pot pie preparation prove to be but small stepping stones on the road to satisfaction.
