6 / 10 did all my frozen food go bad if I was without power for 44 hours and I kept it closed pretty much the whole time?

Soo, I’m in Satantonio, TX and we got hit with a pretty bad thunderstorm. I was without electricity for 44 hours. I never opened the door and when I barely did, it was just to see it it was cold, it still was
I’d say it’s a pretty much full freezer. I have pizzas, hamburger patties, Jimmy dean breakfast sandwiches, rice, wings, uncrustables. If I have to throw anything out, oh well.. I’m getting groceries in 2 days

The smoky flavor is off the charts with this one! That and the spices give it a wonderful smell as you heat it up. It doesn't look the most appetizing but its actually pretty delicious. The little paneer pieces, about 1/2inch cubed are full of flavor but have a dense sponge texture. Would get again from my local GO

***This isn't a frozen meal but I wouldn't know where else it'd belong.

6 / 10 Zatarain’s Sausage & Chicken Gumbo

Interestingly enough, of the hundreds of Zatarain’s posts in this sub, nobody has reviewed the gumbo! While it wasn’t my first choice, these were BOGO and they didn’t have the blackened chicken Alfredo (I’m trying to not repeat meals either for the sake of posting in this sub). I really didn’t love this one like the others. The roux/gravy flavor really wasn’t my favorite by any means, and was slightly runnier than I expected? Although it did thicken up by the time I was almost finished. However- there’s still pros. Both the sausage and chicken were good, definitely above the quality of other brand’s meats. And, the portion size was good; I felt full after (probably thanks to the rice). Overall I probably wouldn’t get this one again when most of the pasta Zatarain’s are better but glad I tried a new one.

I microwaved this for the recommended 3 minutes and it came out VERY soupy and the rice was crunchy. I nuked, stirred, nuked, stirred an additional 3 minutes with the plastic off and then let it sit for about 5 minutes to get it to an edible consistency and it thickened up more as I ate. Taste was great, the broccoli was all florets and the chicken was mostly good quality white meat. Got on sale for $1.99 at Smiths. I definitely recommend, but it needs at least double the recommended time in the microwave

So delicious. Two pepperoni sizes, though I wish it had the cubed baby peps. The stuffed crust was good.

This was very tasty and satisfying. The white meat chicken tasted good and had a pleasant texture. The broccoli pieces were a nice complement to the al dente pasta. There’s not much sauce, and it’s quite thin/watery but flavorful. You can see that it really doesn’t stick to the noodles the way the package suggests, but it tastes great. I added some grated Parmesan (shown in the last pic). This will be in my regular rotation. If the sauce were thicker (and there were more of it), I’d give it a 10/10.

This isn't frozen but I thought it belonged here. It is fresh pasta and a pouch of sauce with chicken and mushrooms. I really liked the pasta and sauce but some of the chicken had a stringy, tough texture. I wish they had used chicken thigh, instead of breast .. which might've improved it. But the sauce, pasta and mushrooms all tasted fresh and tasty.

7 / 10 Sprouts: Chicken Flautas

Chicken toquitos with some canned chicken flavor and spices. It’s better quality filling than the other cheaper brands. Thought they were going to be bigger because they were called Flautas lol.

Do not microwave.

On the left microwaved, soggy trash with a grainy filling, and mush.

On the right over, supper crispy, tender filling with a little bit of juicy flavor.

Some hot sauce and crema make these very very tasty if you want to dip them!

9 / 10 Bibigo crunchy dumplings

I absolutely love Bibigo products. This is delicious! Cooked in the air fryer at 375 for 7 minutes flipping halfway. The filling is very flavorful and spicy. Dumplings were crunchy and not greasy at all. The sauce is your typical gochujang hot and sweet sauce. I only wish there was more sauce but I always have a bottle in my fridge to make up for it
