Unless you actually eat the meal straight out of the box it's possible. Adding water and applying heat can be downright scary things! Well, I suppose you could give yourself a paper cut while wrestling with the box...
The first peach cobbler of the season is in the record book. We will finish it off today before company comes.
Lol! How hospitable of you.
I don't know if this has come up before, but I put some water in a bowl and microwaved some corn on the cob for 3 minutes and it came out perfect. Not sure if it's worthy of starting a new thread, but I just thought the info needed to be put out there.
I reluctantly confess, I watch Below Deck, and they had this disastrous chef. She made nachos by putting Doritos on a plate, pouring on a jar of commercial salsa and a can of canned corn.
I think to my self, OMG! I am qualified to be a chef on a 40 million dollar charter yacht! I might not be 5 star rated, but I can, by golly, make better nachos than that.
So why am I sitting around posting to C-D when I could be in the Mediterranean or Tahiti, cooking for spoiled rich people who have paid the cost of a nice house to spend 3 days on a luxurious yacht?

You can microwave it in the husk (no water) for three minutes and when you peel the husk back, the silk will come away with it. I’m not sure if microwaved corn tastes as good as boiled to me though.

A new career beckons.
That isn't as bad as when we visited a favorite bar and grill in downtown Alexandria VA in probably 1982 or 2. The Californians had just come to the DC area so DC didn't know much about Mexican food. They had nachos on the menu. We ordered them with friends: instead of jalapenos they were topped with dill pickles.

I don't remember setting anything on fire, but my husband did.
We were first married and he invited a co-worker to dinner. I marinated chicken and out it on the barbecue and asked my husband to keep an eye on it while I finished the rest of the dinner,
When I came back, the chicken was flaming like a torch, flames shooting 5 feet in the air.
When I pointed out that he was supposed to be watching it, his excuse was that he thought it was supposed to do that.
My first effort at baking a cake as a newlywed was a disaster. I had no idea of the difference between regular flour and self-rising flour. First problem: I had self-rising flour. Second problem: the recipe called for baking powder so I added it.
Third problem: I had put it in a smaller pan than the recipe called for because that's all I had. Fourth problem: we're living in a foreign country and my oven has two speeds: on and off. So I have to keep looking at the oven thermometer throughout the baking cycle; when the oven gets to 400, I open the door; when it gets to 350, I close the door. Rinse and repeat. Cake goes in the oven and proceeds to rise....and rise....and rise.....until it was a gigantic dome slopping out of the pan on all sides. I take the cake out of the oven and it collapses. It's about a half-inch thick in the middle. The oven is smoking from the cake batter that slopped over the edges of the pan.
My husband came home to find me sobbing and a deformed cake upside down on the sidewalk.

You mean there are different kinds of flour?
