warming up cold pizza?

[boomchakabowwow]

I microwave it just a bit and then toast the slice on cast iron...you?

 

[Corradobrit1]

Throw it in the microwave and use the built-in grill to crisp it up. There's a specific program for reheating pizza. Simples

 

[chiffonodd]

Breville convection oven/air fryer.

 

[Jovidah]

Start in a cold oven, put it at 150 or 180c and give it 5-10 minutes.

Thats a lot of energy just to heat up a couple of slices. Cheaper to buy a new pizza?

A pizza near me is like $40 no way it costs forty bucks to heat a few slices for 5 minutes.

where do you live? On the moon? $40 is crazy. Is that $15 for the pizza and $25 for delivery and tip, service charge etc etc

It's honestly not that bad energy wise if you're not using a 90 cm stove oven.
And I'd rather buy new pizza than eat microwaved soggy crap. At least when you use the oven the result is quite good.

I'm from Seattle, although temporarily in southern Oregon. A large from Pagliacci (local favorite) is like $36 plus tax. Seattle might as well be the moon.

No one is arguing or saying they only microwave it. Convection heat feature makes all the difference.

 

[Rangen]

Never the microwave. Microwaves toughen crusts, and leave the top of the crust soggy. I use a 400 degree oven, but if I had one of those modern countertop toaster-ovens-with-fan, I'd use that.

 

[HSC /// Knives]

Lay my toaster on its side
Slide the slice in horizonatally

Thats nothing. Think about the poor New Yorkers and their $2000 pizza's. If I was reheating that I'd probably fire up the big boi.

Now thats lateral thinking

yeah my brother lives in NY. ****'s wild out there. I think he's managed to steer clear of insane gold leaf truffle pizzas but you never know

 

[kujaku]

Place the pizza in the pan, add a teaspoon of water to the pan, making sure it doesn't touch the pizza. Cover and cook for 1 to 3 minutes.

 

[nopomo]

First thing is that it should be stored room temperature or frozen, because refrigeration accelerates staling. For a slice or two: hot griddle then finish under the broiler.

 

[jakuda]

toaster oven (convection or not) is great

 

[M1k3]

Start in a pan on the stove, finish under broiler for a minute or so.

I'm going to try the sideways toaster next time though.

 

[Vertigo]

Y'all don't prefer it cold?

Wild world.

 

[fortheloveofmoar]

Eat it cold!

So you're saying don't 'oven is a waste of energy' ... 'use convection heat'... what do you think convection heat is?

I like cold pizza fine.

but I was wondering about warming it.

 

[Jovidah]

FWIW if you really care about energy expenditure, beyond simply eating it cold (which is quite okay actually)... best would probably be to just fry it on both sides in a non-stick frying pan. Actually works half-decent to heat frozen pizzas without any oven at all (for example when you're on a campsite).

I use one of these when camping. Works great. Like a mini oven

 

[mengwong]

1tbsp lard or olive oil
in cast iron or carbon steel pan
fry slice, constantly moving, until
bottom is browned
let stand on wire rack to crisp
or simply tilted at side of pan

Bro I live in Washington and Oregon, that **** is legal, local, organic, top shelf, and available everywhere. The cold pizza is dangerous.

Start in a pan on the stove, finish under broiler for a minute or so.

I heat it in a pan but I cover it instead of using a broiler.
Bottom gets crispy and top is gently warmed.
Much better crust compared to using the toaster oven...
