That is a good link.

However - frozen sausage rolls are super lazy to make -
turn on the electric stove to 175 C.
Take rolls from freezer.
Put in microwave on defrost for 3 minutes.
Shove in the oven on forced fan.
Wait for 18 minutes -
Done.

These ones:

Gourmet.

Duck breast with asparagus, mushrooms ad raspberry sauce. The trick is to start cooking breasts on cold and dry frypen to render fat out and gradually bring heat up so the rest is cooked in the duck fat, all up about 20-30 minutes.

French make orange sauce but I prefer berries and frozen berries do just fine, add little red wine and touch of honey.

BTW, coles duck is on special this week.

I had a really nice gourmet pie a few nights ago and the other about a week ago.
From Coles here:
https://www.coles.com.au/product/charlo ... 0g-5139686

$11.80 for 2 but they were worth every penny.
The most expensive frozen pie that they sell.
Big juicy chunks of delicious beef and nice pastry.

I took one pie -
defrosted in the microwave for 4 minutes -
then into the electric oven for 25 minutes at 170 C on fan forced.

Oh wow 😲 I think I fluked a pork roast to perfection. Well for me anyway. I decided to cook it on 170C and upside down with the skin side on bottom. No oil applied anywhere and just mixed herbs on top.
I just came out succulent and the crackling was perfect, peeling off hard in long thin strips with no soft fat attached. This allowed me to shear off the soft fat layer with ease (Magpie and bird food... oh, and my little Ant colony in backyard). I'm not a good cook, so I'm pretty chuffed it came out good this time. No oil applied.
