Are Frozen Meals Actually Good? The Honest Answer - Providoor

Are Frozen Meals Good? A Taste and Quality Guide

Frozen meals can be a useful way to keep dinner options available, but the result depends on the dish and how it is prepared. Choose for the texture you want, the portion you need and the method you can follow.

Choose the format you enjoy

Sauces and curries suit a different dinner from an oven-finished lasagne or roast. Classic Italian Lasagne offers a layered bake; Marco's Signature Bolognese lets you cook pasta separately and finish it with the sauce.

Read the product detail

Look for a complete ingredient list, allergen declaration, serving count and specific cooking instructions. Check current availability and compare the full meal cost, including any separately chosen sides.

Preparation affects the result

Use the product’s stated method and follow covered, uncovered and standing stages where specified. Defrost in the refrigerator for best results unless the product directs cooking from frozen. Our preparation guide points you to the right steps.

Keep nutrition separate from taste claims

A dish tasting rich or carrying a premium description does not tell you its nutrition profile. Use the current panel and compare like-for-like portions. Read how to compare frozen meal nutrition.

Find a dinner that suits you

Explore the current menu for mains, sides and desserts. Start with dishes you know your household likes, then plan the preparation and serving order.

It appears that your voucher belongs to the old Providoor, which, unfortunately, is not us. :(

We understand how much the original Providoor meant to many Australians, especially during the challenging times of COVID. It provided a way to enjoy high-quality meals from beloved restaurants in the comfort of your home. We also understand that some of you may still hold vouchers from the previous iteration of Providoor, and we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

When the original Providoor, unfortunately, went into administration, we made the decision to purchase the brand because we recognised its significance to so many Australians. Providoor was more than just a business; it was a source of comfort, connection, and joy during tough times. However, while we have revived and rebranded Providoor to focus on delivering gourmet frozen meals from celebrity chefs, we are a completely new company with a different business model and operations.

This means that we do not have any obligation to honour the vouchers issued by the previous company, as those financial liabilities were not transferred to us during the acquisition. We know this may be disappointing news, but please understand that we are committed to making this transition as smooth as possible for our valued customers.

Thank you again for your understanding and for being a part of Providoor’s journey. We are committed to providing you with the highest quality gourmet experiences, and we look forward to serving you in the future.

Warm regards,
The Providoor Team
