Frozen Food

[jennyjoan]

I have been going to a butchers who sells fabulous home made stuff, ie lasagne, dinners etc - I'm not a ready meal fan but these are exclusive and sorta expensive.

This morning was my 3rd time and because I was buying quite a lot the butcher informs me that whilst the dinners are in a tin foil box I can microwave them.

I said oh I didn't know that - he said it was special tin foil. Now I'm not disputing my butcher but has anybody heard of these. I never knew they existed.

Thanks...it seems that after all this time, they've discovered that it's perfectly OK!

lasagnes are better in the oven anyway

^we have a combination microwave/grill/oven and get excellent results with the microwave and grill together..far more economical that putting the oven on for single portions.

I posted another answer after ginge but must have forgot to "Answer Now".

Bednobs - the butcher did say to cook the lasagne one in the oven as it is very dense - also for me I have cut it up into 3 as it is so large.
