    Default Stick your fork in me...

    When you pop a ready meal into the microwave... and the instructions ask you to “pierce film several times”... how many times do you actually pierce it?

    Have you ever thought that your piercing could be inadequate or indeed... excessive??

    Come on, make me feel less weird.

    I poke it a couple of times with a gleeful smile while Don't Fear the Reaper is playing at a moderate volume.

    I tend to go full ham and let rip like a psychopathic murdering bastard. Using the sharpest knife I have.

    Not really, I tend to actually stab it like 6 times, maybe more, depends on the size of the package

    I don’t buy those kinds of meals but I do use lots of plastic wrap. Once you poke through that’s all you need.

    I usually just pull a corner up, unless work has been a pain, and I feel like stabbing something. Then, multiple times.

    I normally use a sharp knife for many tiny holes. That way it's not shredded, but plenty of venting.

    I stab it slowly and methodically twelve times whilst saying how much I hate it, Murder on the Orient Express style.

    I try to cover a good portion of it, but it depends on if the sauce is on the lid. I don't pierce where there's sauce. Do you want to get sauce on you? Because that's how you get sauce on you.

    I just make all my food in the oven or on the stove. That’s what I have them for.

    Nope. Never saw the point. If I reheat stuff, the oven does the job, and I don’t buy pre-made stuff that goes in the microwave either so yeah.
