- vel0city 2y agoI get that. So microwavable issues. I'm probably an odd-ball though. If there's oven directions, I almost always go with those. Usually more evenly heated, things can be crispier instead of just soggy, etc. My countertop convection oven heats up pretty quick and uses its fan to cool off pretty fast as well when done, so I can often get a set it and forget it kind of deal reheating frozen foods in it once I dial in the time/temp on convection mode for whatever dish I'm making. I also tend to let a lot of my pre-made frozen foods thaw in the fridge the day before cooking to speed up cooking times. Once again that usually takes some trial and error to dial in the cook times as the packaging pushes you to keep the food frozen until cooking.
- OJFord 2y ago> My countertop convection oven Thank you; I'm with you! I'm not sure I could even bring myself to buy one over it. (I decided not to on cost vs savings basis before having to make that choice, since time to preheat isn't something I generally care about so that's not a benefit to me.)
- buescher 2y agoPretty much that, remembering that you probably didn't have a microwave. Nobody bought a microwave just to get away from aluminum foil. I hear you on the convection oven, but the real game changer for me was moving into a house with a double oven. The top oven heats very quickly but can fit a half sheet.
