Pizza hut in China has an amazing new pizza.

Bacon wrapped salmon pizza. To die for.

I would eat this.

BladeoftheImmortal · Feb 5, 2015

I did eat it. I'm craving another but holding off until my arteries are less clogged from the last one.

Will M · Feb 5, 2015

I'm with you, OP. I make my own pizzas (crusts, sauces) and getting a scorching hot oven is essential to making the dough correctly rise. I dont know how people follow cooking times on frozen pizza boxes... wouldn't it be semi-cooked in the middle?

STOP REHEATING PIZZA. ROOM TEMP/COLD (WITH MILK) OR BUST

WTF

starchild excalibur · Feb 5, 2015

I'm sorry, but I scrolled for a while and didn't see it (not sure why it wasn't included in the OP): why exactly shouldn't I stick my pizza in while it's preheating?

I've done it both ways and don't remember it making a bit of a difference.

dragonlife · Feb 5, 2015

I eat pizza and drink milk with it sometimes.

Meet me somewhere.

Moff · Feb 5, 2015

damn this thread made me crave a pizza with nicely baked toppings and a chewy, soft crust

Faddy · Feb 5, 2015

But if I put it in at full temp it will dry out the pineapple.

Daweex · Feb 5, 2015

If we really have to be picky OP, stop baking your pizza in anything that doesn't look like this:

Randam · Feb 5, 2015

Ain't nobody got time for that.

surrogate · Feb 5, 2015

If you are preparing uncooked frozen pizza, preheat.
If you are reheating previously cooked pizza (frozen or real), don't preheat.

MarkMclovin · Feb 5, 2015

I prefer my pizza ever so slightly not-so-cooked though.

Not only that, but I got an electric fan oven.

MilkyJoe · Feb 5, 2015

iShouldGoPro said:
You're ruining everything.
Seriously, stop being so damn impatient and just wait for the oven to heat up to the proper temperature before placing the pizza onto the middle rack of the oven.

You're not giving your pizza the proper cooking experience. You're denying it the opportunity to be cooked to perfection.
If you put the pizza in too early then the top of it gets cooked but the crust remains chewy and gross

Just stop!

Now come over to mine, tell the missus this. Drives me up the fecking wall

M0nochromatic said:
People not understanding basic cooking instructions is whatever, but that nonsense about getting cold pizza out of the fridge and eating it?

With milk?

That's disgusting.

Inferno313 said:
Gross. Also OP might be talking about frozen Pizzas.

balgajo said:
What?!?! Is this a thing?

TimorousPanda said:
Oh my.

Milk rocks, but not with pizza.

Eating cold pizza and drinking milk right now!

I'll do whatever I want to, actually.

Seems like the OP was trying to be funny but it just ended up being another inane junk food thread.

Admiral Bone to Pick said:
LOL, you called him a heathen over something as minor as preparing food. That's really funny.

Drax?

Pankratous · Feb 5, 2015

I listened to you OP just now for lunch, and it did turn out a little better. Patience pays then.

WaffleTaco · Feb 5, 2015

People don't wait till its done pre heating? Uh why?

Famassu · Feb 5, 2015

Barrylocke said:
Better yet, just don't put anything in while it's preheating. It's called PREheat for a reason.

If something needs to be in the oven for 20-40+ minutes, it really matters fuck all if a couple of minutes of it will be at a lower temperature. On the other hand, it does save some electricity.

ElFly · Feb 5, 2015

Don't reheat pizza.

Cold pizza forever.

jmdajr · Feb 5, 2015

Don't have to tell me. I follow directions!

IAmRandom31 · Feb 5, 2015

theres a sexual reference here im sure of it

Brian Fellows · Feb 5, 2015

Can't say I've ever ended up with soft crust after putting a pizza in as the oven heats up. Preheating is for suckers.

-Plasma Reus- · Feb 5, 2015

How am I supposed to know when its finished pre-heating? Honestly? These things don't have any temperature gauge.

jts · Feb 5, 2015

Yes, do reheat pizza.

On a pan. Both sides.

Fucking better than fresh out of the oven sometimes.

I am in this camp. I like my pizza soft and doughy

God. I'm with you. My roommate insists "What are you doing? It doesn't matter" whenever he sees pizza or anything sitting on top of the stove while it finishes pre-heating and will come over and put my pizza right in there. It isn't even his damn pizza! Assholes, all of them.

Wow I hope you stand up for yourself and tell that person to fuck off (not necessarily using that lanugage of course)

Killing_Joke · Feb 5, 2015

I put that fucker in immediately, come at me bro.

jts · Feb 5, 2015

Usually the thermostat light turns off, indicating the oven reached the desired temperature and is no longer creating additional heat. When it cools down below a certain threshold it will turn on again, indicating the oven is again producing heat.

10 minutes is not a bad rule of thumb either.

Most ovens have a beep sound. Mine beeps 6 minutes after I set it to bake at 400 degrees for example. 5 minutes is a good boundary if you dont have an oven beeper.

Oh wait I thought it was a euphemism

God Dayumm · Feb 5, 2015

Can the microwave oven even be preheated?

Oh I have. Using that language in fact... oops.

We're pals, it's all good.

perfectchaos007 · Feb 5, 2015

Honestly I don't think my cat cares whether or not I preheat the oven for his pizza

Sheriff_Battlesnake · Feb 5, 2015

I'm a fan of the stove top technique when I nail it. When I don't it's pretty upsetting. By the time the bottom has the slightest crisp the cheese and toppings are in optimal condition.

Skellig Gra · Feb 5, 2015

What if I put the pizza stone in AFTER its done preheating?

Shagwell · Feb 5, 2015

Best lookin' pizza used to be the one that the ninja turtles ate

Prax · Feb 5, 2015

Not gonna waste 10 minutes of time + whatever other electric charges!
Frozen pizza goes in oven as soon as I turn it on!

MoxManiac · Feb 5, 2015

I use this to make pizza:

CONRAD · Feb 5, 2015

I just add a couple of more minutes to the timer. I ain't got the patience to wait for the oven to pre heat.

ferr · Feb 5, 2015

Also, use a pizza stone. Also make your own dough.

Salmonax · Feb 5, 2015

Aselith said:
What falls out of the box? Are those breadsticks? Because the pizza is intact.

Dipping sticks. He got them.
