Prediction: Unlikely to succeed
This pitch suffers from cognitive dissonance. The promise? "Cook perfect, oven-baked potatoes in just four minutes." The method? Just "place [the product] in the microwave." Huh?
As for the product, I don't think it solves a painful enough problem with a common enough dinner item -- unless potatoes are like eggs, in which case all bets are off. But so far, DRTV history hasn't been promising.
