It's spicy, but not hot. I didn't microwave it in batches, I just put the whole big bowl in and then spread it out to cool and it turned out great -- still crispy.

Don't waste your time with the "Fat loss for idiots" I paid the required $40, tried it twice and gotten sick by the 5th day. It's so not healthy!
