Why would a microwaveable lasagne be in a metal dish? Why? I bought a 6lb one because it said microwaveable in big letters on the front. Once I read the small print, I discover what you're supposed to do is transfer it to a suitable dish before microwaving. Well heck I don't have an enormous dish to fit that!!! Why not just put it in a dish that's okay to use in an oven or microwave in the first place?

I had it saw up a still frozen lasagne to get it to fit the biggest pyrex dish I had. Honestly, is that not crazy?!

it is crazy, I don't get a lot of packaging these days.  although, the metal packaging is friendlier than plastic to recycle ;0)

I'm not buying it again, so there.  The fact I only buy lasagna about once a year isn't the point! They should be accommodating such a valuable customer as myself.

I think I'll email and complain and see if they send me a freebie LOL. I'll leave out the once a year buyer part.

Grrrrr, today I had another problem. I opened a pack of instant mash (I know I know I'm a bad wife, so sue me  ) and the thing ripped all the way down the length of it in two secs flat, spilling it all over the floor. I know I didn't tear it that hard! Have you any idea how hard it is to see potato flakes on cream lino?  What a mess. I'd have been quicker peeling the potatoes LOL.
