Can these meals be microwaved instead of made on the stove top? I stay in hotels when I travel &amp; cannot use a stove .... microwave only.

We have not tested these meals for microwave preparation. However, several of the soups would work quite easily, though you'll need to reduce the water since it won't be boiling. Some of the meals have potatoes and beans that would not soften up through a microwave so those would not be a great option for your situation.

yes, you can put hot food on it. You heat the pack in the microwave and then I put it in my carrier. The hot pack and my food stayed warm (not hot) for more than 8 hrs.

I'm not really sure? It is a hot/cold pack but we only use it for cold. It does say it is microwaveable, so I would say no to the stove or oven.

I strongly suggest that anytime you employ a microwave to heat, or cook, any food or beverage,you must handle it with care, and use a pot holder, or oven mitt!Gee whiz, I would asssume that you would understand that it is going to be very warm, or hot.Is that not what a microwave oven is intended to do?Of course, this is just a suggestion from a person who had to learn his lesson, the hard way!

I am not sure - I don't use microwave ovens. I will tell you though that the travel mug is made of plastic and while microwave ovens are bad enough used on anything, plastic would be a real no-no.

I am not sure but they would get very hot and I wouldn't chance it. Maybe go directly to their website for confirmation? They do heat up in the microwave.

I would not microwave. The metal in the bowls would destroy your microwave.

Absolutely, but a reminder most of the new cookware is to be used as directed. They do NOT have to be on the highest heat, mainly because you boil the nutrition out of anything you are cooking. Bring your product to a boil and turn down the heat.Incidentally, I have a glass top stove.Happy CookingJ.

You can bake with it in the oven. Not sure about microwave? I don't really care for it.

Look back Mark because you may have gotten mixed up- as I did too. There are microwaves & then there are smart ovens- convection ovens that have cutting board on top. The board on top is there for a reason- without it- the top becomes a warming plate. However, I have the microwave also- it does not vent from top, so you could put one up there. Hope this helps.

I personally cooked the food then placed them in the tray, but I'm sure you can make and bake lasagne in the oven and place them on the buffet server. I would just be careful of scratching the teflon. Freezing them shouldn't be a problem either because it's metal. I recently used them for a nacho bar watching football with my family and plan to use them over Thanksgiving. It's a great deal for the price.

You are suppose to boil the egg (usually soft boil). Then when ready, place the eggs into the cups. I have never tried to microwave them.

I microwave with them occasionally. I can't recall what the original packaging said about microwaving. I accidently turned on the wrong burner on the stove last night, and the plate was partially on the burner for around 5 minutes. Heat setting was "5" out of "10". The plate was fine.

It can still be microwaved, however, not in the foil package. Just put it in a bowl, cover it with a paper towel, and you should be fine.

I'm not sure if I exactlty understand what you are asking. We own a small hotel and offer the individual portion packs at breakfast. For domestic use I can see the convenience for 'on the go' meals such as school/work lunch, hiking/camping, gone-all/day/doing/errands. Hope this helps.

I would suggest against it. The directions should probably include something about not microwaving the pads. What I've always done is heat water to a boil and slide the pillows into the boiling water, leaving it in until they have cooked between 7 and 10 minutes. They will have lost their stiffness inside and can be reused once they've cooled enough. All I can think about microwaving the pillows, is all the times we've cut a plastic bag to microwave the dinner we are going to eat hot. So even the food we are going to eat will not be too cold.

I used cooked chicken, beef or eggs. If traveling I use the mix with Ceaser gourmet filets so I don't have to worry about refrigeration.
