How does it do when defrosting meat does it start to cook?

I have only tried using that option one time, and I admittedly had some difficulty figuring out how to use it. You have to put in the pounds of the item, and I think I may have ended up having it in too long. It actually did start to cook a little. Sorry I'm not more help on this question.

It defrosts very well Michelle. The microwave uses a turbo defrost button from there you would enter the weight of the meat to defrost. Of course all the prep before defrosting one would need to consider, removing wrapper, some meats placing fat side down, turn items over during the defrost period and etc. I hope this helps some , good luck.

does it defrost meat evenly don,t no have not had it that long I have never seen a microwave defrost meat evenly. Any of them.

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 got hold of a cooking chart from another brand (Morning Ware). It shows cooking times for fresh and frozen foods. It sets cooking temperature at 400 deg F. Times are approximate as usual for different brands but it is a reasonable guide. I find that you still have to turn meats at least once to even the cooking. Hope this helps. wfc.

I am sure it does...I have not tried that yet. check on-line for cooking instructions or find a temperature guide.

If you put the food on the grill before it indicates it is ready to cook it will automatically switch to manual mode. I learned that the hard way. So the proper steps are: 1. Power on. 2. Select type of meat/sandwhich. 3. Press OK. (If you are grilling frozen meat select the frozen food option, which is the snowflake button). 4. Wait until it warms up which should be indicated by both the slow flashing doneness light on the right becoming steady and a beeping tone. 5. Put your food on the grill and close the lid. You will then see the Doneness light at the right turn blue. It will change color and alarm at each doneness stage. For example. When it gets to rare it will beep and the Doneness light will be yellow and progress all the way to red and well done to which it will give you a different alarm continuously until you press OK. Hope that helps.

Yes it will "heat" a frozen dinner. As long as it is pre cook you can use this little crock to heat it up. It will not cook raw meat, but it's fine with raw veggies. It will take longer then poppin it in the microwave ... like an hour. NOTE: as Gayle says it is small, so you'll have to break it up to fit it in. It wont be pretty. If it's something like pasta that's not a problem.

Every 6 months, I defrost it manually. Not a big deal. LOVE IT! Better than I expected for the money! Low cost to run too.

Yes, there is a light, which is on during operation and if you leave the door open after food has been cooked or defrosted. However there is a screen on the window that makes it difficult to see the food being cooked.

If starting from frozen it will take longer to reach pressure but the same amount of time to cook. If preparing a meat and it has been browned in the pc pot, pressure will be reached in a few minutes. If making a frozen roast without browning it can take up to 15 minutes. Soups and vegetables takes minutes. It depends more on the temperature of what you're beginning with than it does the amount of food.

Mine did and on the front panel (you can't see it in the picture), there is a guide for chicken, beef, fish, sandwiches, etc., which tells you a range of minutes and a range of temperatures (like 4-6 minutes at 400-425 degrees.)

I personally have not tried it, but you should defrost foods before putting them in the machine for best results.

Yes it can slice frozen meat. I actually prefer to freeze mine before slicing, works better. This is not a butcher quality slicer but for occasional home use it works well.

Mostly we defrost and serve cold which is delicious. We have warmed it before, but you have to be careful because it can get dried out. Leftovers are better when not heated.

I personally have not had a problem with your issue, however be aware that your meats and or fats should be as close to slightly frozen as possible if not everything will be mushy!

It doesn't actually grind, but it chops meat pretty well. Cut the meat into half-inch cubes, put it in the freezer for about 20 minutes, and pulse to the texture you want. We like it pretty coarse, but I've accidentally chopped it finer and it doesn't smush if the meat is cold/firm enough.

No - but it cooks very well and quite fast - and it's supposed to be the safest way to cook. I can even cook from frozen in minutes.
