Can Chef Boyardee Be Eaten Cold? (Should You Do This?)
This is a pretty common question that we get, as many people are unsure if Chef Boyardee is cooked or not cooked. Is it safe to eat right from the can or should be heated up?
Back in 2013, a Twitter user had that same question. He was curious to know if Chef Boyardee ravioli can be eaten cold or not?
The official Chef Boyardee Twitter account answered that question with a simple Tweet.
They confirmed that all Chef Boyardee pastas are fully cooked and can be eaten directly out of the can with no problems.

Instructions
- Empty the pasta, ravioli or meatballs and spaghetti into a pan or pot.
- Heat up over a medium flame for about 2 to 3 minutes or until the pasta is steaming hot.
- Once reheated, you can remove the pan from the fire, let the pasta cool and serve.
Reheat Chef Boyardee in the Microwave
You can also reheat Chef Boyardee in the microwave, but it depends on whether it is in a can or plastic container.
The Chef Boyardee bowls are microwavable, so you should be able to heat them up with no problems.
If you have a can, you definitely should remove empty the pasta into a microwave-safe plate or bowl and then reheat that way.
Placing a can in the microwave is dangerous and this could possibly damage the appliance or cause a fire.
