Frozen Meal FAQs

Can you cook frozen meals in the air fryer?
To cook frozen meals in an air fryer, preheat the air fryer first. Then, place the frozen meal in the air fryer basket or tray in a single layer. Set the temperature and cooking time according to the meal's packaging or your air fryer's settings, adjusting as needed. Halfway through cooking, shake the basket or flip the food for even crisping. Once done, carefully remove the meal from the air fryer. Always follow the specific instructions provided by the air fryer manufacturer and the frozen meal packaging for the best results.
Are frozen meals bad for you?
A lot of frozen meals can be considered 'bad' for your health, but it completely depends on the nutritional content. Our meals can be frozen from fresh, preserving their nutritional value and keeping you fuelled with the right things your body needs.
Do frozen meals expire?
Yes, frozen meals do have expiration dates. While freezing can significantly extend the shelf life of food by slowing down the growth of bacteria, yeast and mould, frozen meals can still expire over time. The expiration date or "best by" date is typically printed on the packaging of the frozen meal. It's important to check this date before consuming the meal. Eating a frozen meal past its expiration date can potentially lead to foodborne illness or a decrease in quality, such as changes in taste, texture and nutritional value.
