Costco report - I share because I can

[susandennis]

I picked up these yummy looking potatoes at Costco not long ago. I love potatoes of all kinds and these looked so good.



Looks can be deceiving. These are not worth the calories. There is nothing special about them at all. In fact, their flavor is a little odd. I'd prefer fingerlings bought in the produce department and cooked from scratch. Ugh.

But this, I've now gotten several times. Pricey but so yummy and handy.



It is four packages of sliced steak. I separate the steak and freeze the slices. When they are frozen, I pop them into a bag. Then I pull out 1 or 4 or however many I want for whatever - sandwiches, steak and eggs, steak and mashed potatoes. My favorite lately is steak salad. I pull out 4 or 5 slices, nuke 'em for a minute and a half and then cut them up into bite size pieces and toss them into the salad. So good! I probably get 5 meals out of every package so 25 meals out of the $20 pound purchase.

Do you pull the steak slices out and let them thaw before Microwaving or do they go from freezer to microwave to table?

[susandennis]

Mostly it's freezer/microwave/table. Like today, I put 6 on a plate and did them for 1 min. They were warm and still rare. Perfect for me.

I bet it was the "chicken drippings " that tasted off. What was dripping from the chicken? And WHY was it in the potatoes?

It’s disappointing that those potatoes weren’t better. They look like they would be wonderful.

I came close to buying those steak slices the last time I was in the store, now I'm definitely going to have to try them. I'm so glad you tell us these things. Too bad about the potatoes though.

It's better than you think unless prices are different in Seattle. The price here is under $10/pound but the package is a 2 pound package. I just did the same as you. In the freezer. But it did cost me a Burnt Brisket Ends purchase. They are, btw, fabulous.

Interesting! ours our $10.52 a pound. what a rip off! but then that's the price you pay to not live in texas i guess
