bag of premade frozen meatballs
I used the same frozen meatballs in all four appliances.
  • I cooked frozen meatballs using my air fryer, microwave, oven, and stovetop to see which is best.
  • The microwaved meatballs were too rubbery and overly hot, but they were ready in one minute
  • My classic stovetop approach was predictably good, but the oven was the clear winner

If there's a more comforting meal than pasta and meatballs, I'm not sure what it is. Give me a good homemade marinara sauce, a fistful of linguini, and seven or eight meatballs, and I'm a happy man.
