A. There are several ways to cook Oven Poppers.

Conventional oven preparation offers the best results for flavor and texture. Oven Poppers recommends that a glass baking dish be used. Remove product from the pouch, add a teaspoon of water, cover and bake as noted on the back of the box. Many customers enjoy the oven method, but it is important to cover the entree while it is baking if you prefer a moist entree. If you prefer your fish to be crispy or a little less moist, remove the covering for the last 5 minutes of baking.

Microwave cooking will also produce excellent results, but only if your microwave is not over-powered. Please refer to the back of the box for microwave instructions. Oven Poppers’ entrees will remain moist throughout microwave cooking, but to ensure best results, please keep the entree covered for the entire cooking time. A good tip to try is to place a moist paper towel over the dish while it is cooking. Microwave cooking Oven Poppers in its pouch is highly recommended; however, there is a chance that some of the delicious sauce or stuffing may remain behind on the plastic. Reduce the cooking time by half if you experience poor results from the microwave.

A. Currently, the most virtuous fat of all, Omega-3 fatty acids can be found in all Oven Popper’s salmon, sole, flounder and cod entrees. Like many "good fats" Omega-3's are unsaturated, the kind of fat that keeps the heart healthy and may also stave off type 2 diabetes and some cancers (according to Susan Bowerman, Assistant Director of the UCLA Center for Human Nutrition). Omega 3 fatty acids also may help prevent inflammation throughout the body, along with blood clots that can lead to stroke. There is hope as well that as we age Omega 3 fatty acids may also protect against mental decline. Fatty, cold-water fish, such as salmon and tuna are very rich in the most important forms of Omega 3's, called EPA and DHA. In this regard, nothing can substitute fish for delivering the recommended dose of weekly Omega 3's.

Scientists recommend 1,500 to 2,000 milligrams of Omega-3's per week, to be consumed through a variety of seafood. A four-ounce serving of salmon contains up to 100% of the recommended weekly intake.

Examples of fish containing Omega 3's - per four-ounce portion.

Lake Trout - 2,300 milligrams (4 ounces)
Atlantic Salmon, Farmed - 2,100 milligrams (4 ounces)
Albacore Tuna - 1,700 milligrams (4 ounces)
Atlantic Salmon, Wild - 1,600 milligrams (4 ounces)
Cod - 300 milligrams (4 ounces)
Sole - 250 milligrams (4 ounces)

One box of Oven Popper’s Salmon w/Spinach & Cheese will deliver for you the current weekly recommended amount of Omega-3's thought to protect against heart disease!

A. Our cod, sole, flounder and pollock come only from Alaska. Our shrimp comes from Indonesia and South America. Our salmon is farm-raised Atlantic salmon from Chile. Our lobster meat comes from Maine. The majority of our tilapia comes from South America.

Oven Poppers is committed to utilizing as much ground fish and vegetables as it can from the United States, however, as needed, a very small percentage of product may come from Mexico, China and Thailand.

A. Oven Poppers utilizes the best vacuum seal method to ensure the longest lasting shelf life. There are two ways to open the pouch. Run the frozen entree under moderate temperature tap water for 10 seconds, then open the bag with scissors or a sharp knife. The warm water will release the seal for easier opening. Another method is to run a sharp knife down the back underside of the frozen entree, pushing the entree out and onto a cooking plate.

A. Prepare your favorite Oven Poppers and serve with pasta tossed with butter, olive oil, salt and pepper and a side salad. Or serve with rice and green vegetables.

A. Microwave your favorite Oven Popper and top with a yummy cool yogurt. We like Stonyfield’s lemon yogurt or their pineapple, mango or vanilla yogurts. Serve with a side of fresh, delicious fruit. Another good tip is to mix vanilla yogurt with two tablespoons of dijon mustard and serve over your Oven Popper entree.

A. a) You can make a sandwich out of any one of your favorite entrees. Cook your entree and allow to cool for up to 2 minutes. Lightly toast a piece of bread or sandwich roll. Place your entree on top of the bread and serve alone or with mayonnaise or olive oil. Tom (Stacey's wonderful husband) microwaves the entree and pours the entire entree and any sauce onto the bread and eats it like a regular meal. A great sauce idea is to mix 1 teaspoon of Mayo, with 1/4 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, add 1/8 teaspoon of capers and serve on sandwich bread, with salt & pepper. Awesome!!

b) Pan Sauté. Heat a nonstick skillet on medium heat. Add a teaspoon of olive oil or butter. Thaw completely (our favorites for this method are) the Crab Stuffed Sole or Sole w/Garlic, Shrimp & Almonds and add to the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes then turn over entree. Cook another 2 minutes and remove from the pan. Pan Sauté can add a nice crispy texture to the fish that is just wonderful. Serve with a side dish of vegetables and rice or on a sandwich roll.
