Probably not much different, except there was obviously no such items that were made specifically for microwaves. They probably just cooked on a stove or over a fire; I would prefer a homemade meal over a microwaveable one any day.

They used a sort of metal rack that you could lay or skewer bread on, then prop it over the wood cookstove to toast. The racks had to be turned over by hand to brown both sides of the bread.

Before microwaves, people simply had to cook everything regularly. There was no step in between stoves/ovens and microwaves, unless you want to count toaster ovens.
