I use frozen breakfast sandwiches. Directions say to heat on Defrost
(30%) for a number of seconds and then heat on High (100%) for a
number of seconds. I would assume that frozen TV dinners are the
same. Read the directions.
Homemade frozen meals are thawed in the refrigerator overnight.
A couple ( 2 or 3) hours should be o.k.
