To cook frozen meat in a Ninja Foodi, start by preheating your Ninja Foodi on the 'sear/sauté' setting. Once hot, add your frozen meat. No need to thaw! For best results, brown the meat on all sides to seal in the juices. Next, add your desired broth or sauce, then switch to the 'pressure cook' setting. Lock the lid in place and set the timer (usually about 20-30 minutes for most meats, but this can vary). Always ensure the internal temperature of the meat is safe before serving.
