Some people are disappointed when they buy frozen meals that have a warning that the frozen meals should not be cooked in a toaster oven. We wonder why some companies would do that.But is it true that you should not cook frozen packaged meals in the Breville Smart Oven BOV800XL? Well, we sought to know the difference between the toaster oven and the main conventional oven.

We feel that if you can cook frozen meals in the conventional oven, then you should actually be able to also cook such meals in the toaster oven as well. So why do some companies that package frozen meals attach warnings that one can not cook frozen foods in the toaster oven. Well, in an interview with one of the manufacturers that had put such a warning in their products, he said that they put such warnings because some toaster ovens have uneven and unpredictable heating patterns.

He further explained that this can lead to uneven cooking which could lead to fatal food poisoning. But he was quick to note that not all toaster ovens have this problem. In fact he did not know that a lot of improvement has been made to ensure that there is no unpredictable and uneven heating in the toaster oven. For example the new Breville toaster oven uses IQ heating elements. These are well known for even distribution of heat. They are also well insulated. This means that no heat is lost during the heating process.

Again, due to the insulation system, all the heat is concentrated in the oven. As such, you will achieve even distribution of heat. This way, it is possible to cook meals in the toaster oven. It is a fallacy that you can not cook meals in a toaster oven. This is especially so if you have the new Breville toaster oven.
