I've put frozen burgers on it and it worked fine but I haven't tried any other frozen meats in it.

I have cooked premade frozen hamburger patties on this grill. It takes longer to cook them. I don't know if any other meats like frozen pork chops would work. I would be really careful to check the meat for doneness if you decide to try it. Best of luck.

I cook Costco frozen skinless chicken breasts in just a few minutes simply giving them a quick rinse, a little seasoning, then straight on the grill. Works every time.

if it is frozen really hard, it wouldn't slice it. and actually slightly frozen meat is slice better than just cold meat.

It's cooking area is not big enough for frozen dinners that are plate like but like burgers and such it will cook. If it is frozen it will talke a while to heat it theoughly. I use it mostly for left overs and it works great.

I've sliced up venison roasts and whole muscle venison frozen with no problems. I've had mine for a yr and had no issues..

Never tried frozen meat. Not sure. If anything could do it, this could. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

I would say no! Because the two pounder cold roast beef can cut except the side panel was weak and moved back and forth thats why cut meats are uneven cut. I never try to cut frozen meat so I'm not sure if it works well.

I haven't tried frozen food, but I did put a leftover cooked steak wrapped in foil and it heated nicely in an hour or so. no mess to clean up. I will have to try a frozen dinner if it will fit. It's only about 5 inches in diameter inside to cook. I'm also going to try vegetables (sliced potato, zuchinni, carrots, onions, peppers seasoned and wrapped in aluminum foil to see how long they would take to cook. To be honest, I think it more for warming up foods than anything, but it's worth a try.

I have the large one and you can cook any amount in It. I like to cook a lot and freeze the extra.

I have had mine for a couple of months. Grills sandwiches, veggies and fish nicely. I would not grill a frozen chicken breast.

You can always cook frozen meat. I frequently have put frozen hamburger in a skillet simultaneously friying it and thawing it out right there in the pan constantly scraping off the outer layer as it cooks and defrosts at the same time. You can do this in the instant pot on the Saute setting. In any pressure cooker ( the instant pot is primarily used as a pressure cooker) you can put a whole frozen chicken, stew meat, frozen chiie block with two inches of water, making beef stew or chicken soup and just cook it about 5 minutes longer in the pressure cooker than unfrozen meat. It works very well. A pressure cooker unthaws frozen meat rather quickly as it cooks at about 240 degrees. No need to defrost first. You can take the meat put in the morning, put it in a dish in the morning and it will bee defrosted when you get home from work, but that is not necessary. Just take it out of the freezer and throw it in the Pressure Cooker. It will cook just the same as unfrozen, just give it a few extra minutes Bottom line - frozen is no big deal. W.O.

I had cooked chicken wings in it for 10 hours and they stayed nice and hot. I also had a shrimp pasta in one and put ice on the bottom in a ziploc and it stayed cold the entire day and the ice was still frozen. It works like a cooler so I would think you would be safe for a good length of time if the meat were cooked and frozen. I love the carriers and bought 2 more.

Yes, you may have to adjust the temp. and time, this oven cooks food much faster than the traditional large ovens. Start with a lower temp. than advised on the package and put the meal on the bottom level so it isn't too close to the heating element. This will help you cook your frozen items more evenly. Good luck, I love my oven!

no, just put it on and wait awhile - it doesn't take too long. The steel draws out the cold from the frozen meat. You can accomplish the same thing with a steel frying pan.Just try it.

I have this model and it works great. Prime Rib, chicken is awesome on it. Found pork roast smoked up the room too much from fat on roast but it was good tasting.

If you go slow it works well for cold meat, I haven't tried frozen. It's not that strong a motor so you would probably want a stronger one, or thaw the meat a little first.

If the meat is very juicy, freezing it or wrapping it in plastic wrap is a good idea. With the new models you can stop the vaccum cycle and seal it if it is getting messy. What you don't want to do is suck any liquids into the machine. This will kill the motor. Hey, it isn't too onerous a task to put your meats onto a baking sheet and pop them in the freezer for a few hours first and it is worth it to preserve all of the juices and the lifetime of your machine. These things ain't cheap!

Using frozen meat is unsafe due to the meat being susceptible to bacteria. Slow cookers will not heat fast enough to keep the meat in the "safe" temperature cooking zone. You need to thaw the meat (in your refrigerator!) before slow cooking it.
