Hello Patty, I got the cooker for my kids for Christmas so I don't know. Sorry.

Not sure. You would have to cook them longer. They may char on the outside before heating through.

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

Yes, you can. In fact, the last get-together we had, that's what we cooked. The frozen kind from Costco seem to work best, as they are compact, mostly unbroken, and stay together nicely until you pop those tasty little morsels in your mouth.I have found that this well designed machine works far better at cooking and keeping Brats, Sausage, Dogs, Taquitos, Corn Dogs, and Egg Rolls than any conventional oven can do.I thoroughly recommend! 5 Stars!JGLDFW TX

Yes, you can cook from frozen with all our Instant Pot pressure cookers. The cooking time is the same but the "pre-heat" time will just be longer. Regards, Instant Pot

I haven't cooked hot dogs in the buffet warmer. I don't see why you can't it has a temp control. You can always pre cook the hot dogs first and then keep them warm in the tray. Perhaps you can keep the buns warm on the other tray at a low temp. Hope my answer is helpful to you. Enjoy the buffet warmer.

yes that is fine, and what do also is take baking grease and flavor water from like top ramen and free them in yougurt containers for our dogs. We breed and raise old english mastiffs which AKC show dogs so for when it comes to a $3000 dollar dog we do everything to keep them cool. So yes you can freeze them and give them frozen in the summer time

Yes you can! They work great in the freezer. Just defrost in hot water or fridge overnight. They cannot be microwaved.

Yes! The hot dog is completely heated through and HOT when it pops up. If you wanted to you could put the hot dog down again but if you use the right size it should be heated through.

Never tried freezer but blend with about a cup of ice is really good, as it is a can I bet they would explode but that is just a guess.

Never tried either but know it would work great with the buns. It would just be a question of timing on the hot dogs. This is a great product. Thanks for new ideas.

Cooking times vary based on temperature setting, but frozen Corn Dogs take approximately 40 minutes on a temp setting of around 150 degrees.Refrigerated Hot Dogs and Italian Sausage take a bit less time.The beauty of this cooker is you can let the dogs cook while you are doing other chores or taking care of your customers or your guests.Great machine; highly recommend!Joe Levine Burleson, TX

I'm sure you could, but the stuff they are made of wouldn't hold the cold for very long. These are really fun, not sure what the freezer could add to the experience.

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

just put your frozen item on the tray ... if you wish, warm the tray first with warm water

Yes. i have frozen apple sauce, chicken and sweet potatoes and peas. I thaw them in the fridge or warm water. Works like a charm! Love this product!

Frozen or from scratch? I haven't tried making them from scratch yet. Frozen it takes about the same time as the directions if you preheat the unit before you put them in. It's basically a convection oven and "hotter" or more effectively cooks because of that. They turn out the best if you draw the tray out halfway thru and give them a good toss before they finish cooking.
