I hate it when I get something to eat and it comes in a box or something like cake, ham berger helper and I don't know the instructions so I try to look them up online. only to find, over and over again, Follow the instructions on the back of the box. I wished that there was some websight that had all that availble. There probaly is and i just don't know it.does anyone have this ishue? and if anyone knows the instructions for hamburger helper, let me know. it doesn't have to be perfect, just about how much milk and water need to add. thanks

I'm afraid I can't help you with the Hamburger Helper, but I hate that too. Many times, things are online, but an equal number of times, they're not and I go nuts. Even with ocr software, sometimes, the box is too shiney or too small for the scanner to pick up the lettering. I think every blind person should have a bar code scanner. I'm thinking of getting one, probably the $70 one for now.

That's a fantastic idea! Maybe, one of the more technical among us could help you.

I use the delivery service web site for my local grocery store. But I don't use it to order groceries for delivery. I search for the item I need, then click the link for it. and there is everything that is printed on the box. Very useful.

I use tesco in UK and they have a lot of instructions, failing taht I usen a penfriend labeller, but for that you need a pair of eyes to read stuff in the first place. It can be off putting wanting to order certain things and not having a bloody clue how to cook them

To be honest, once you've cooked for yourself for a bit, you should start to find that you can make a good guess at how you should cook something.
There''ll always be the people who will think that guessing is a stupid idea, but really, just use some comon sense and you'll be fine. I started making propper meels for myself when I was 15 (So 4.5 years ago) and after about 6 / 9 months I really couldn't be bothered to go and find someone to read stuff to me every time I wanted to make something so I just guessed. Still here to tell the tail so I must be doing something right.

Remember, it's always better if you need to wait for your food to cool down due to it being to hot as apposed to it being edible streight away and you undercooking it.

yeah but there are so many different types of hamburger helper that one set of instructions would be impossible to use for another...some require milk others don't, some even require mayo, and of course others do not...some takes only water so what kind of hamburger helper are u using
