Given a ready meal. In general is it cheaper to cook in the microwave for 750w for 5 mins or oven cook for 20 mins at gas mk 5 
I came into this world with nothing and I'm gonna leave with nothing.

umm well if you were cooking Bing meals in a Microwave as opposed to food from scratch in an oven.. I would say cheaper to oven cook!
Ahh you have been GIVEN a ready meal?
Chuck it in the Microwave and don't worry about it.. I hope you've eaten it before you see my posts

Apparently the microwave:

Buy a Remoska that way you can cook stuff you would cook in the oven and use the microwave as well. Since I got a Remoska - I cook everything in it and then just cook up some frozen veg in the microwave. Job done and cheap.0
