Methods are sought to replicate the texture of crunchy food in a convenience food stored in a freezer and prepared in a microwave oven. All ingredient-based solutions must be GRAS (generally recognized as safe) for human consumption. Cost must be within 1 to 2 cents per pound for the final product, and cooking time, once out of the box, must be complete in 4 to 6 minutes. Storage time for the packaged food should be 18 months in a home freezer.
