can you cook microwave meals in an oven?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

Only if there are instructions on the box or the bag that gives you instructions for cooking in a conventional oven

I made the mistake of buying a Trader Joe's Pad Thai frozen meal one day. I don't own a microwave oven. No realising it until I read the directions - it was microwave only. I thought i'd pop into the oven to cook it on a cookie sheet. Apparently, the reason it was microwave only is the packaging. It isn't oven safe. It melted onto the cookie sheet and oops, no pad thai for me.

it depends sometimes the finished consistency is messed up because a microwave is like a faster cooking, almost like making instant soup for the microwave on the stove. it will probably not taste good imo.

Most come with instructions for both oven and miicrowave cooking but toaster ovens are not recommended because they can have hot spots that might damage the container.

With some you can do it. It will have to say it on the box

self

Yes, but I wouldn't cook at higher than 350° because it may melt the container.

Not unless it says on the box...I put one in the oven once and the container almost melted into the meal!!yuck!

Yes dear, its not so tuff
