I honestly have to say I haven't tried that. However, I have done anything else in Oyama that I would normally do in an electric oven. I have cooked frozen fish and frozen chicken breast in it. It takes about 45 minutes to do those. You probably would have to mess with the time and temperature to get it just right. That is one thing I like about this oven...I can adjust the temperature so I can cook things just how I want them. There are some handy websites that tell you how to adjust the time or temperature for cooking things in a convection oven that you would usually cook in an electric or gas oven.

Yes just remember using heat from coils and fan blowing air around so does work better if it's you open the meal in put on the bottom of the bowl since the air needs to circulate.

You can but you will need to take it out of the plastic container that it comes in and put it in a pie tin or a glass container and then cook it

Yes John, just be careful of your temperature that little dynamo gets up to 425 if turned wide open. We regularly put frozen food and meals in ours

I havent tried tv dinners usually they go in the microwave but I have roasted beef and pork out of freezer and came out good. I hope I answered your question.

Frankly speaking, I have not used this oven for frozen meal. However, I found out this oven is good for anything dry and not good for heating up something wet like soup. For frozen stuff, I suggest to start with lower temperature for defrosting, then turn to high for browning.

Yes you can heat or reheat items in a very short time frame because the heat is circulated around item.

I have not done this. This oven heats both from inside out, AND from radiant heat. So, you would likely achieve a browned surface. It would likely be faster than the oven. I love my oven for the way it cooks meats. Much better than outdoor grill. And, very easy cleanup, as it's glass.

I am not the person to answer this. I did not like how the oven worked. I tried to send it back within 30 days, after using it only 3 times- all three were disasters.. I was refused because I had "used it "multiple" times!!!

Yes absolutely, you can also bake a pie from frozen state in about 30 min. You will probably have to play with time and temp but it gets easier every time you use it. I love it, so handy.

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.

Sorry. That was my experience exactly. I microwaved for the max time and it was only warm, not nearly hot enough to keep a meal warm through a plate. I will be looking for something electric next time.

Yes you can, it's an easy modification. Remember to use magnetic pots and pans for cooking, otherwise it will not work. Instant and temperature controlled heat. A great product and technology!

It is not intended for uncooked frozen food, i.e. frozen uncooked chicken patty. However if you have something that is already precooked but frozen that would be fine I think, would probably just take longer. I love mine.

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 not done that but I'm sure you could. The only issue I can think of with that is you might have to adjust your cooking time a little bit depending on how much you use.

I'm sorry, I've never frozen any food in the dishes. But, I would guess that they would not heat the frozen food without the glass getting too hot. I find they are best for refrigerator storage. My food stays fresh more than twice as long as in other containers.

Yes you can. I have taken from freezer to oven with no problems. My new must have.

Hi There, Girl!.....I use mine with waffle-cut frozen potatoes.....just put a single layer on a shallow pan that isn't so big, that the hot air can't circulate.....Use the tall rack.....I set the temp at 400, and set for 10 mins per side.....the timer tends to cut the heat off at about 7 mins, but the potatoes get brown and pretty fast.....I hope this suggestion helps you:)

Yes I mix it up and freeze it as is, have frozen meatloaf, and pre-make burgers and freeze. They also sell breakfast sausage veat, and I do the same since you can get 4 - 8 patties out of both products, depending on size desired! I usually pull it out of freezer day before I wanna reheat them, just be careful as all other thing to not dry them out as reheating

There is no temp gauge on this model so it only cooks at one temp. I wouldn't cook frozen chicken breast on it unless it is thin cutlets. Time would vary depending on how thick it is or if it's boneless or not. You know, for the price it's very versatile so just give it a go.

Personally I recommend defrosted because it cooks faster and the plates can keep it in place but it also depends on if you are using the full grill...if full grill then yes frozen is fine...if press grill defrosted works best

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

You will probably make a huge mess using pudding. If you're planning on freezing it then it may just work. I would only recommend baking products. However, you just gave me a great idea for yogurt..... Frozen yogurt bites!!! It just may be silly enough to work.

You can try. The temp control is very unstable and ended up baking or under heating 2 batches before we have up on this unit. Total waste of $$$!

No. Think of a big toaster. It gets hot for a few minutes, but then it's done. I thnk for small things like single portions of frozen entree or toasting bread or rolls, this is a perfect gizmo, much less heat and energy than a big oven.
