Outlet Sticker Removal advice please

[Hamshandy]

Does anyone have any advice on the best way to remove these Outlet Stickers without leaving any residue on the box ? Just peeling seems to leave a lot of adhesive and material . Thank you

Maybe warm with a hairdryer?

Second this, but don’t go nuts, the heat will turn some labels black

The sticker may come off nicely, but maybe not. It's possible that you can carefully peel the sticker off (with or without help from heat) then use the sticker itself to blot the adhesive off the cardboard. The last rounds of stickers I removed from tactical cases actually came off better without heat. The heat really gummed up the adhesive and made it more difficult to remove. You're just going to find out if you decide to remove it. Personally I would leave it alone... in the world of Oakley collecting, that is NOT the worst box/sticker I ever saw. In fact, it's more evidence that the glasses are genuine (which seems to be more of an issue than stickers on boxes).

Is that on full power or defrost setting ?

Full power. Unless your microwave is less than 1000 watts, then double the cooking time.

Do I have to remove half way through and stir

Pull back the film, flip the patties, stir the potatoes, replace film and continue cooking.
