That hasn't quite been the case. It works well enough for frozen fries and other frozen foods, but I've yet to get good results for a pork chop (or at least any results that are easier/better than more traditional alternative methods of cooking).

Not a total waste of money, but probably could have continued doing without one...
Any meat like pork chop or steak will always be better in a pan with a little oil, butter and seasoning. You can check it with a temperature probe and give it a poke now and then. Much better than the oven.

I just cooked a whole chicken and yet again the inner breast where it meets the bone was raw while everything else is cooked. It needed removing and putting back in the oven for a further 5 minutes.

In future I will joint the chicken first to prevent this.

However, re-heated roast potatoes, even yesterdays, are resurrected like it was Easter.

I do pork belly & stand them up against each other so the rinds crisp (on foil).
Only ever done butterflied chicken, then add onions to the juice in the bottom of the bowl as gravy :good:

I do loads of different types of prepped chicken goujons and veggies/wedges which I freeze and the kids can heat them up in the fryer if they are hungry without bothering me or their mum
