Reheating frozen pizza?
When I try to heat up frozen pizza that was made in the home or from the
pizza parlor it just doesn't work. It's sometimes too dry, sometimes overdone, or the crust falls apart depending on the method used. How do you all reheat pizza that you've frozen? Thanks in advance, Kent |

No normal person freezes left over pizza, that's illegal. Left over pizza must eaten for breakfast the next day, cold right out of the fridge, never reheated... same as left over Chinese food. I've never heard of anyone freezing left over take out... you're not right in the head, Kent. |

If it's good pizza, defrost as usual, and place on a tray in the oven just so's it'll heat through. No high temps, otherwise you'll end up with a piece of wood. Or, nuke it....... I stick it in a plastic bag if I'm doing this. The crust will be a bit 'limp', but the toppings don't dry out. Mind you, I rarely freeze leftover pizza.

Reheating frozen pizza?
I would put it out on the counter to thaw out and reach room
temperature, then broil it for 1-2 minutes to get the cheese melted. |

Use a Baking Stone....anything that's been fried or pizza, etc. crisps right
back up when you re-heat it on a baking stone. "Kent" > wrote in message . .. > When I try to heat up frozen pizza that was made in the home or from the > pizza parlor it just doesn't work.

Thaw in refrigerator COVERED.....then reheat in cast iron skillet or flat griddle. That is the only method to "recover" the crust back to an eatable condition. Forgot your microwave...that will only make it tough. Putting under a broiler only burns the already cooked top and leaves you with a soggy crust. |

LOL. I never did like bologna and still don't. We never had it in the house when I was growing up. That sandwich only reinforces my disgust for it! :-) > TFM® doesn't eat much pizza; that's a *me* thing, so I luck out, there. > If and when he does eat pizza, he wants the Supreme - lots of veggies > with sausage and pepperoni.

I like a very crisp crust, and the more toppings there are, especially those with moisture, only serve to make for a sodden crust no matter what you do to prevent it. -- Wayne Boatwright ------------------------------------------- Sunday, 04(IV)/06(VI)/08(MMVIII) ------------------------------------------- Today is: Daylight Saving time begins Countdown till Memorial Day 7wks 11hrs 40mins ------------------------------------------- If you can't convince 'em, confuse 'em. --Harry Truman ------------------------------------------- |

I've never frozen leftover pizza, the thought never occurred to me, but if I were to try it I think sealing the pizza well (like with a foodsaver or similar vacuum sealing system) before freezing and then thawing in the refrigerator would help prevent drying out. Maybe add a shallow bowl of water in the oven while re-heating, if the well sealed bit doesn't do the trick. These are tricks that work with frozen pastries. Bill Ranck Blacksburg, Va. |
