Chefgirl2 said:Actually, you can put a cold dish in the oven. You just can't go from freezer to oven. So, if I have a frozen lasagna in my 9x13 I need to put it in the frig to completely defrost. Then when I'm ready I pull out the lasagna, preheat the oven, pop it in and cook.
I only know this because I had to call HO about this years ago.
