I am going on a diet and i love lean cuisine but i don’t have a microwave. can i put the frozen dinners inside the oven?
uh miss milla v or whatever don’t be a bitch i don’t have a box at my house and i don’t go to the grocery store so i wanted to know before i told my father to buy them. no need to be rude.
yes you can, but you have to take them out of their container and put them in something that’s oven safe, I use a small glass caserole. I do it every day. I preheat my oven to 275 degrees and bake for about 20-30 minutes for most meals.

You can put TV dinners in the oven in the plastic tray thingy. I am assuming there wouldn’t be really any harm with lean cuisine because it is like a tv dinner. I could be wrong though because I never used the oven for Lean Cuisine.

Doh, check what is says on the box. Some TV dinners you can put in the oven, like Stouffers, some you can not with out the plastic container melting too. To be safe, you can always transfer your meal into a ceramic dish before baking it in the oven.
EDIT: sorry hon, didn’t mean to be rude, didn’t realize how young you are. Well then just check the labels after your dad brings them home and use a ceramic dish for the oven if you need to. On a personal note, no offence again, I really don’t think they taste that great, I’d rather cook my own lean low fat meals (or eat my mom’s cooking, just not the full portions as she tends to over-serve…)

Common sense, reads the labels!
EDIT again, if it says it’s oven proof, the plastic film will still not be, please peel that off before putting in the oven ( Yeah, silly me forgot to do it once with a stouffer’s lasagna meal…ruined it)

Yes they are oven safe and actually better if you put them in the oven versus microwave. Some of them have the meal in a sealed plastic bag that you just pop into a pot of boiling water.
