Â* We use ours mostly to heat frozen stuff , but it also does a great
job on stuff like pork chops , meat balls , hamburger patties etc . For
timing , tater tots take around 16-20 minutes , chicken tenders 10-12
minutes , pizza rolls 6 , most stuff takes around the same times as
frying or a bit less . And none of it comes out dripping grease and oil
or soggy like microwaved foods . We haven't tried whole chicken breasts
, but breast strips took around 12-14 minutes from raw to yummy . Stuff
like breaded (raw) chicken I spray with some olive or vegetable oil from
a trigger sprayer . Frozen stuff has enough oil from the pre-cooking
done before they freeze it .
