As much as I love Quorn, their ready-meals are pretty bad. I always just make such dishes using good recipes and substituting in basic Quorn products (sometimes with a little adjustment to account for the difference between meat and Quorn stuff — more water, or oil, etc).
Heat added in any case simply for the prices, if real!

The pies are great but otherwise as fire phantom said its best to use their ingredients to make your own dishes.

These taste similar to meat equivalents, I'd recommend trying them and switching if you like them. Notes the saturates in the pie however, 48% of your recommended daily allowance in there.

Saturated fats are not all the same and not all equally bad for you. Saturated fats from coconut and dairy have actually been shown to improve lipid profile and reduce incidence of heart disease. The saturated fats that worsen lipid profile are generally those found in animal tissue.

I respect people eating Quorn and would love to get into it myself, but it simply does not taste as good as the meat counterparts no matter what the hardcore tell you. Loads of Quorn fans at work, and all harp on as "as good as or better than chicken/mince etc) and it's utter lies.

I've given Quorn chicken to lots of meat eating friends and they've said they couldn't tell much difference, apart from the texture being less fibrous. Anyway, very quick and easy way to find out for yourself. Try it!

Um, I have tried it. In a variety of dishes. Or I wouldn't have said it doesn't taste as good.
I do want to get into it though.

The try it yourself comment was directed to other people.
Regarding Quorn for you, maybe it's how you're cooking it? Personally I prefer it quite well done, starting to brown a little. Which is probably more than the recommended cooking time.

Interesting tip! I'll stick with it.. I'm determined to like it.

At the least I find it helps with the slightly rubbery texture they start with.
