Does this work for heating up frozen foods? Like frozen french fries, pizza? Or, for prepared foods that need to bake like Pillsbury crescent rolls?

I love this little oven. You can do anything a big oven can do,-Just on a smaller scale. It can fit one slice of a large pizza at a time. Because there is no window, each time you open it to look inside you will lose some of the temperature you selected..but it will recover very quickly, again because of the size. I have made very good cresent rolls & buttermilk biscuits (from ready made in the cardboard roll). Make note of temp & how long you cooked the items you cook so that next time you have a reference for the "doneness" you prefer. Really good purchase.

Yes to the fries and pizza. Have not tried the crescent rolls though. Did bake popovers in the oven - they came out well. Key is to pre-heat the oven for a few minutes. Use care to not breathe in the smoke that comes off the hot Teflon surfaces. This little oven is great. Makes perfect fried eggs! You never have to turn them and risk broken yokes. I like this oven so much, I bought a 2nd one to put away in case my current oven stops working. Have also sent this oven to friends for birthday presents. Good luck with yours. Do not ever try to make oatmeal in it - what a mess! Have fun! Yes to the fries and pizza. Have not tried the crescent rolls though. Did bake popovers in the oven - they came out well.

It should do frozen French fries. I got mine to bake cinnamon rolls in. You should be able to BAKE anything in it that you bake in a regular oven. Remember it's an oven. Just don't go by the time it says on the package for a regular sized oven. You are cooking in a lot smaller space. Also lower the temperature about 10 or 20 degrees. Experiment with a little bit of what you are cooking till you figure out what it takes to cook with it.Good Luck.Lee.

I only use it for fresh foods, but normally just softer solids like cooked veggies (squash, potatoes) or softer fruits (pears, bananas, plums). I guess you could put frozen foods in it and they could eat it as it melts, but my little guy would probably not like that.

Yes, I have not used it for pizza but I love it for french fries and fish sticks.

you can use anything you want to cook with in this, but plastic. It comes with a round Teflon pan that works good and you can also get a round screen that you can put on top of the rack so French fries and smaller foods wont fall thru. You have to look in accessories either for this, or flavorwave, or nu-wave. I have had them all. I will never go without one, or the other of these ovens....EVER

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'm not totally sure, but I have only used it as a warmer. It can get things pretty warm (dips) but I'm not sure how it would work for things that are not cooked prior.

Yes, works just fine. If I use for freezing, I do let it come to room temperature before putting in the oven, but freezing does work.

Buy yourself a pizza stone and a pizza peel and use those things instead of this wonderful cookie sheet. As Grape answered, the stone will make a better pizza than a cookie sheet does. Even if you are just cooking frozen pizzas or take and bake ones, the stone is perfect. I can just imagine those awful cuts on your cookie sheet!

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.

I have just started using it myself. Heats up leftovers well and quickly. I'm not sur how it would do with a potatoe. Might be best to micro those.

Totally, that's how I warm up my meat pies. I bake and freeze....though you want to make sure that they are only *cold* when they go in the toaster oven. Not frozen...tempered or not it could break them.

Yes! It cooks up frozen pizza nice and crispy. We've only tried thin crust ones, though.

I have only used it to bake pizza and am very happy with the results. It hadn't occurred to me to use it for other food that would be best if turned over. I'll try using it that way.

Yes, I put them in the cold oven and preheat for 10 min on 425. I do this for both frozen pizza and the ones we put together with the pre-made crusts you can get in the bakery at the grocery store. I prepare them on a cookie sheet or metal pizza pan then slide them onto the preheated pizza stone right on the oven rack. The crust is nice and crispy on the bottom but yet soft in the middle. Hope that helps.

I have used mine when baking in the winter to heat the area where I place dough to rise. I have not used it yet to keep prepared food warm while serving a meal. However, it does generate enough heat for my "dough rising area" that I need to position it so it does not overheat the area. So, I would imagine it would produce enough heat for keeping food warm. I actually plan to try it as a food warmer in a few weeks when we have family visiting.

I haven't used it for something like that, although I don't know why you couldn't. I've mainly used mine for pie crust and biscuits. I love it. Give it a try for you red velvet or pumpkin cake roll. I think it would probably work pretty good. Good luck.

YES, you can cook that hasn't cooked yet (my experience with french fries show me that it Works)
