Yes, they are fine for a 1 minute quick dessert.
Assume the meals are as well. Great for a beginner cook.
To me the "dump dinners" are basically like "skillet meals". I don't know what the big deal of calling anything "dump". I don't associate it with anything like what people are saying on this thread.
I make a 1/2 dump cake for my mom alot. The regular size is too much for her(it spoils).
I measure 1 cup of the cake mix
1-2 cans drained peaches, sprinkle with sugar & cinnamon.
I leave out the crushed pineapple.
