Generally the meals are “ready to cook” meaning they need to go into the oven, be cooked on the stove, cooked in a slow-cooker or on a grill. Some items such as soups, mac & cheese, BBQ Chicken Sandwiches and dips can be warmed in the microwave. Regardless of the cooking method, HomeCooked provides simple, detailed cooking instructions and times. No slicing, dicing or special equipment required.
