I've been eating mostly microwave meals (Factor75 & Freshly) for the past year, and found that they taste slightly better when baked in the oven for 10-15 minutes.
Freshly only lists microwave instructions, so it's probably a bad idea to bake the plastic, but my Corelle plates are rated for 350°F, so I can flip and bake those directly. Corelle/Vitrelle is an interesting material. It's lightweight, microwave/oven compatible, and the couple times I've dropped it over the years, it just bounced, though supposedly the tempered glass can violently explode.
- kenneth 6y agoThat sounds miserable. Why would you do that to yourself? Is it purely cost?
- oezi 6y agoI can only image it must be time that OP is lacking, because cooking meals yourself can be substantially cheaper.
- p1mrx 6y agoThere are services that deliver raw ingredients, but that seems like a lot of work (inventory management, cooking, dishwashing) for less variety. This way I get 12 unique meals per week, made from lots of different ingredients with no wasted food. The grocery store is the riskiest place I go during the pandemic, and I only have to do that once a month for long shelf life items.
- aquir 6y agoThe last sentence is a good point in these COVID ridded times
- madengr 6y agoOh, the Corelle will explode, it just takes a few years. I don’t know what the aging process is, but will no longer bounce, and explode into razor slivers so small you’ll wish you had traditional ceramic.
