Is it alright to keep a frozen TV dinner, ie Hungry Man dinner, in the fridge
for a few hours before nuking it? My refrigerator freezer is usually well
stocked and when I bring a TV dinner up from the downstairs freezer for supper,
I don't always have room in the upstairs freezer. Is there any harm keeping them
in the fridge? Thanks.

I think you want the survivalist group.

The "keep frozen" is just to protect the big corporations from
stupid people.

Yes, it's perfectly fine. I do it all the time. We even leave unfrozen
beef patties in the refrigerator for up to a week. Things like corn
dogs I usually eat right away (can't stop eating them LOL).

I'd say "yes".

I bought by first "frozen TV dinner" (in years!) and nuked it last night. It was
still frozen, even though I nuked it fer the recommended time (plus a
few seconds for "old" microwave. I musta nuked it fer 2 mins above
what is recommended (Banquet mac n' cheese). ;)

But he thought that he was such a clever troll.

Nope, no harm.

You have to nuke frozen stuff in steps with a waiting time inbetween.
Once it thaws, even stir it a bit to even out the heat then nuke it some
more.

PS - if you like the Banquet mac n' cheese, try Michelina's sometime.
It's better, imo. It also has bits of well seasoned beef in it.

I use frozen breakfast sandwiches. Directions say to heat on Defrost
(30%) for a number of seconds and then heat on High (100%) for a
number of seconds. I would assume that frozen TV dinners are the
same. Read the directions.
Homemade frozen meals are thawed in the refrigerator overnight.
A couple ( 2 or 3) hours should be o.k.
