Frequently Asked Questions
No! Instead of microwaving, you can remove the meals from their packaging and heat them on the stove, or in an oven-safe container. You can also boil a large pot of water, remove the meal label, and put the entire vacuum-sealed meal in the water for a couple minutes to heat. Use tongs to remove the meal, and always remember to watch for steam!

Heat meals in the microwave for 3-5 minutes (watch the packaging vent if you want, its pretty neat), let cool for 1 minute (we know it’s hard to wait), and enjoy! Watch out for steam when removing from the microwave.
You can also use the defrost cycle in the microwave and then heat your meal 2-2.5 minutes. Allow the meal to cool in the microwave for at least one minute and watch for steam!
Many microwaves have a “frozen meal” option that work well for EatFlavorly meals. Allow the meal to cool in the microwave for at least one minute and watch for steam!
