I bought a box of the Trader Joe’s vegetable lasagna and plan to have it tonight. The back of the box indicates two ways to heat it: microwave and oven. From my experience, heating stuff up in the oven almost always results in a better result. But I thought I would ask the throngs here which way works best. What say you?
Oven.
There are frightfully few things that actually taste better when cooked in a microwave. So few I’m having trouble naming one.
OTOH, I have some frozen burritos that take 3 minutes in the microwave and 50 minutes in an oven. I’m not waiting 50 minutes for a stinkin’ burrito.
I would suggest thawing it in the microwave a bit and then finishing it in the oven. Last time we got one of those it was still freaking cold in the middle after the allotted oven time. I said, fuck it, and threw it in the microwave for five minutes to finish it off.
I agree, you can partially cook it in the micro just so it doesn’t take so long in the oven but if you have the time just stick it in the oven the whole time to cook. I love Trader Joes Veggie Lasagna.
