Can this be used to cook 1 or 2 servings of frozen vegetables on high?

Honestly, all I've ever cooked is one large can of soup. It would have taken two cans. Your guess is as good as mine.

Yes, the bowl is plenty big enough to put a whole regular can of vegetables in and cook them.

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

Yes if you use frozen ingredients. It is more like soft serve. They have great videos on YouTube on all the features.

I only cook for 2 of us but we like leftovers. I guess I haven't tried to cook for 2 so I can't answer this question. I would think if you were cooking smaller amounts then you could cut down on your cooking time.

There is no cooking time shown for frozen meat. You can do vegetables and seafood from frozen per the instructions.

This is not an electric appliance. It is just the right size for steaming broccoli and other vegetables. One to two portions cook in about 7-8 minutes.

I have not used it for that yet but I see no reason why you couldn't based on my 2 month useage of the steamer. You just take the basket out and heat the food up. I would not hesitate to use it for that. I have a Pampered Chef microwave cooker a friend gave me so I use that. So, I would indeed use it for that but I have not yet. That is all I got.

I don't think that would work. The best way to do baby food portions is in a regular ice tray or popsicle mold. About the dozenth time I use this to make ice, there were cracks in the blue cylinder. I guess it couldn't stand up to the power of frozen water. Wouldn't recommend this again.

Yes, definately. I use it to cook frozen fries and wings, both have to cook at 450 or higher.

I use less water when cooking frozen vegetables in the microwave oven. Usually cook for 3 min., on high then open one side of lid carefully with tongs to avoid hot steam, then test with a skewer or knife. Really trial and error. I also use a microwave plate to easier stabilize the case or use oven gloves when removing from the microwave oven. I own several steam case and pots.

I haven't had my oven thru a winter yet, but I would imagine you could, you'd just have to allow additional time for heat up and perhaps even cooking. Currently on medium I cook a pizza in 5-8 minutes depending on how much stuff I put on top, so I would venture to say that cooking on high would be close to the same with temps in that range. We get that low here where I live and it will get tried this winter!

Yes John, just be careful of your temperature that little dynamo gets up to 425 if turned wide open. We regularly put frozen food and meals in ours

I have tried to puree thawed frozen peas in this and it was not a fine puree. You may have to cook it first to get that.

No you cannot. That would be a good feature. Something we discovered may help you. To keep stock at a vigorous simmer I set the power to 2 and the temperature to 250. The theory is that the low power level will have to keep striving to reach a higher temperature so the heat seems to remain more constant. You did not say what you were cooking so I hope this helps.

it could easily blend the vegetables if they were cooked first- if not- i suggest the food processor attachment or maybe you want a juicer? The blender is a 6c capacity. Don't put that much in in all at once.

I haven't tried it. I got it primarily to blend Hormel meals for my son. I have chopped onions and ice and it did great with those. Sorry.

Yes, you can cook as little as 1/2 cup. If you just want to steam vegetables you don't have to cook any rice, just add fluid in the bottom and place the basket on top with your vegetables in it.

These are good for a large single portion or medium portions for two (depends on your appetite), I use mine often to do two servings of vegetables. Handy size tha works well for me.
