You know, everybody, how about we go back to the "old way" of cooking some things: the conventional oven. Yeah, that thing sitting in your kitchen with 4 burners on top and that cavern underneath for baking cakes, cookies, pies, turkey, meatloaf, and the list goes on! We've become a society so hell-bent on convienence that we have to be able to "nuke" everything and be quick about it. Let's all slow down and take time to cook our food in the oven and sit down and eat it! Oh, and before all of you start thinking I'm "Susie Homemaker" with all this time on my hands, I'm 53 years young, work 2 full-time jobs, and am in college full time for my Bachelors Degree. And, yes, I do have a microwave that is used to heat up foods and beverages up, not cook them outright.

I totally agree with Deb R. If you want to have a microwave for reheating or making popcorn, great. They're really cheap that way, about $30 at Walmart. To cook in, it's not worth putting your family at risk. The world survived just swell before "nukers" and we will go on without them. Unlike Deb, I am her age but disabled so I am at home, but so what? (other than Deb, bless your heart, you need a break girl!) There are still crockpots for the busy working people and excellent recipes for them if one is too busy for the stove. I had my last 3 children when I was older so I am still raising children and a grandchild so I'd rather take the time and use the oven/stove and be certain that they are at least safer than take the chance anymore with what this story says and not "nuke" anything but leftovers or to reheat coffee and such. Be careful out there!

I don't understand ConAgra's excuse for the recent outbreak. They are trying to blame microwaves, instructions and people for not heating them enough. What doesn't make sense is why the SUDDEN outbreak? Are we supposed to believe that people have just recently started not understanding how to cook Pot Pies? Or that microwaves have just now started not being powerful enough?

Maybe I'm missing part of the story, but if not, it's clear that there's something wrong with the Production or the food they're using - NOT the consumer doing something wrong.

BTW, Microwaving a pot pie? Yuck! I've never tried it, but sounds like a gooey mess to me. The only good part of a pot pies is the crispy crust around the edges. I don't see how that would be possible in the microwave.

There are many, many foods that should not be prepared in a microwave. Are people really that lazy?

In BIG BLOCK LETTERS they say how good and new there products are: in small print, on the side, almost indestinguishable, instructions; as the fine print on the reverse side of a contract.

So I have some of these pies, ate two got incredibly sick, though it was the flu but then learned that I had salmonella. I missed several days work and had to cancel a trip to my son's military base. What I am supposed to with these pies other than throw them out? Shouldn't someone want them for study? Who is going to reimburse for lost work, etc.?

These tainted pot pies are back! my sister just ate one and got poisoned... she even cooked it in the oven for 40 minutes... what a joke... serials match ones recalled 2 months ago. F*** Wal-Mart
