[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] OP here, a revelation was that almost all of Trader Joe's food has instructions for (and recommends) using a conventional oven to heat. It takes a few minutes more, but it's not like you have to be there for any part of it. I go fold laundry or whatever. Costco stuff tends to be 50/50, either explicitly NOT good for the microwave, or unheatable without a microwave. Wegmans is pretty non-microwave oriented.[/quote] You use your oven for convenience foods. Oven is better for frozen meal stuff. I use my oven for that too. I prefer a microwave for melting butter and chocolate. Heating milk lightly for bread recipes. Thawing corn, peas. Heating homemade leftovers. I can use the same dish for heating that I eat with so it saves dishes. I would have to hand wash a lot more using the stove top. It also takes much longer on the stove. We do not have top of the line instantly heating stoves. [/quote]
