It is not a toaster. It is a microwave and a convection oven.....it will act as a microwave and cook your dinners and reheat your food. It will not toast like a toaster.... It will bake and broil like an oven. I LOVE mine, but still use my toaster.

Yes, it would. I leave mine on the countertop in a corner, and pull it out to use it. The top is not heavy when removing. The buttons on the heating element are: cook time, power, reheat, start and pause. It works well with pre-cooked frozen items as well, and unlike the microwave, you don't really have to stand over it. When the time is up, it dings, and shows "end". At that point, you can set it again or turn it off. Instead of leaning the top on the bracket to check things, I life the top off and set it on a dishtowel when checking the food, or when the timer ends. What I like about it is that things will "brown", unlike the microwave.

Oh yes. I often put frozen veggies in it and microwave on high for as long as it takes. Maybe 3 to 4 minutes.

It doesn't technically cook food. It reheats. If you mean something like a lean cuisine then yes, it will work for that. It heats food in plastic, glass or metal. I vacuum seal a lot of food and it reheats just fine in that bag. Hope this helps.

Yes, yes, yes! Rice, mac and cheese, frozen chicken breasts, stuffed peppers, whatever.... The Mini does a fantastic job of cooking meals. Try it... I plug it in when I get to work and a few hours later at lunch time my meal is perfect.

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.

Yes. I have not tried it yet, but the recipe book allows for it. You have to add additional cooking time for frozen food, but the recipe books tells you how much time to add.

Yes! Definitely. It's one of its handiest features. I've stored it in the fridge and also used it to reheat my leftovers in the microwave (without the lid) (and my microwave is small..........)

Probably, yes. It's also a lot smaller than a microwave. We have been very unhappy with this appliance, as it takes forever to toast anything.

Yes, as long as all of it fits in the Rotisserie. It will cook most anything.

Yes, this oven does cook premade junk food breaded or battered up nicely. I do cook frozen fish and chips in it a lot. It comes out excellent.

I believe it can. If you look at the toaster, next to the wheel selection for toasting color, there are four buttons...these are for frozen things, like bagels,etc.

I think it will do a great job - I have not made any cheesecake with it. It is much more rugged than my previous Cuisinart. Hope this helps!

I dont see why not. Remember it cooks much faster than the traditional microwave method, so i would keep an eye on it.

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