I baked two pizzas for dinner last night, with some leftover. I've always
eaten leftover pizza cold, but just as I was ready to eat lunch today, I
decided to pop a couple of pieces in the toaster oven. I had both the top
and bottom elements on and the pizza was terrific! The crust browned some
more and the cheese bubbled up and browned, too. I'll certainly do this
again. In fact, right now I wish there was more leftover!

I used to do that when I had a toaster oven, too. The crust comes out nice
and crispy. Sometimes I'd add some extra cheese to it when I reheated it,
too. I love it that way! (I'm gonna get me another toaster oven now!)

Wayne, when I read your posting, I ran for my camera to take a couple of
pics of a great pizza screen that I use when I use the regular oven. The
first pic is a small screen, the second pic so you can it the wires closeup.
They are aluminum and very sturdy. You can get them in all sizes, quite
inexpensive. They are excellent. If you bring home a pizza, put it on this
in your oven and it will immediately perk up. Put a couple of slices of
left-over -- just like you say in your oven, terrific - almost new again.
I don't see these screens in regular kitchen stores, but they are on line
very cheap, but I bought mine in a cook's kitchen supply in CT. They should
be using these screens in Costco where the big pizzas get pretty flimsy
after setting even under the lights in mostly a solid-based pan.

I've seen those before, Dee Dee! I can't remember who I knew that used one.

Oh, thank you, Dee! I've been tempted to order a couple of these, but
didn't know anyone who had used one. I've found these and others on the
web, so now I will put an order in.

I hope you will like them, too.
I believe the two that I have is an 8" and a 16" which just about covers the

Wayne, don't attempt to do homemade pizza on these without parchment as the
dough will spread right through the mesh -- I'm sure you can figure out how
that is not a good thing. Same thing is true of a store pizza that must be
baked at home. I suppose if you have a pizza that has no rise left in the
dough you could bake directly on the mesh. Usually the store that sells
fresh pizzas to bake at home sells these pans as well as heavy duty pizza
cutters.

Thank you, Janet. That is excellent advice that I will heed. I did begin
to wonder about putting fresh dough on the mesh. :-) The pans I have now
are heavy commercial 1" deep. I have 14, 10, and 8 inch. I was thinking
of the mesh for reheating or for frozen dough that's ready to bake. I
could use a new heavier cutter as well.

We usually have my homemade pizza, but occasionally bring home an extra
baked pizza from our favorite shop.

I do have a question that perhaps you could answer. The pizzas I bake
usually end up with a crust 1/4-3/8" thick after baking. While we really
like it this way, I would also like to try a thin crust. I've tried, using
the same dough recipe, but I always seem to get more rise regardless of how
thin the dough starts out. Can you offer any pointers?

TIA

Wayne, it's been a long time since I did pizza, but I think I used
Reinhart's Pane Siciliano bread dough last time. The dough is extremely
elastic -- it just drools over the hand. I had to shape the dough over the
hand rather than rolling it. It became almost paper thin after it had
rested a couple of times. When I used that dough, I got very thin, crispy
crusts. I think that's probably the key -- you've got to have a very soft
dough that will stretch thin. That's probably a higher hydration dough.
But, I really don't do pizza often. I think there are some folks over at
a.b.r. that do and they could help you more. I don't know, for instance, if
a higher protein flour gives a thinner crust or if the amount of gluten in
the dough doesn't really matter.
Good luck.

I eat it both ways.
Depends on what mood I am in, and how much of a hurry I am in. <lol>
Placed on an OPEN electric grill works too!

I often eat leftover pizza cold, but if I warm it, I put it in a
nonstick pan with a tight lid over very low heat for several minutes and
it crisps the bottom of the crust nicely by the time the cheese melts.

Yes, that's how I do it, too, though I use low to medium heat. Same
method as for quick 'n dirty quesadillas: dry nonstick pan, flour
tortilla, shredded/grated cheese plus whatever other toppings you have
handy. -aem

Great thinking, Bob, I will have to try that. We don't have a toaster oven,
and I hate heating up the oven for just one slice of pizza.

I love leftover pizza at room temperature or reheated to piping hot. Just
not microwaved!

I like cold breakfast pizza slices until the oven slices are ready.

If it's microwave or cold, cold. If I can heat it in the oven, then
heated. However, I do like it cold for breakfast.

Oh, I agree. I wouldn't nuke it. I'd soooner eat it cold, but heating in
the toaster oven was really good.

I personally don't mind the texture of cold pizza, but it really loses
it's taste when chilled (like all foods).

Toaster ovens - the forgotten appliance. I think they're much more useful
than a microwave. Every office breakroom should have a toaster oven IMHO.
So should most coffeeshops. I use mine all the time. Great for reheating
pies, pizza (as you've discovered), veggies, and while we're at it, making
toast.

I used mine all the time when I had one! Baking fish, broiling shrimp
skewers, making croutons, baking potatoes, heating cold pizza (watch the
cheese drippage!) even going as far as baking scalloped potatoes. It was a
necessary item and I miss it. This is the first time in gosh, I dunno,
YEARS, since I haven't had one. There's so many times I want to heat
something up or bake something small, but don't want to turn on the "real"
oven, so I end up eating it cold or deciding not to make it. Toaster ovens
are a vital part of the kitchen. They're wonderful. (Oh, they really don't
do well for toasting bread, though. LOL.)

I agree, but not the huge clunkers they sell now. I really miss my
old GE 2 slice toaster oven. I used it consistanly and loved it to
the point that I replace it with the same model until GE sold off
their small appliace division to Black & Decker. I tried a DeLonghi,
but even it wasn't very good and certainly too big for my uses.
AFAIC, if I have to heat up one of those 4-6 slice things, I might as
well heat up a regular oven.

When toaster ovens were in their infancy, I also had a GE 2 slice model
that I used for anything that would fit. Loved that thing! Then went for
years without a toaster oven. A couple of years ago I bought a B&D 4-slice
model, but it's probably the smallest and simplest 4-slice unit they make.
Three simple knob controls; a toast timer, bake timer, and temp control for
bake/broil. So far it has performed well.

That's the resoning behind a convection microwave oven conbo. You can get a
real toaster and a combo microwave.

And this is some big revelation? ;-) I never fire up my big oven for
dinky stuff like slices of pizza. Next time, try reheating in a
fairly hot non stick skillet. Crust gets crisp, and the top will not
"cook" or get overly brown.. Take care not to overheat Teflon though.
There are "concerns" about the safety. I suppose a cast iron skillet
would be ideal.

I guess you could say it was for me. :-) I've never eaten "re-heated"
pizza. I've always eaten leftover pizza cold.

I'll probably stick with the toaster oven. I like for the cheese to bubble
up and get brown.

LOL, me too, Wayne, until my son got old enough to want his leftover pizza
warmed up, and I realized that I'd never done it before! Then I had to
admit that it was pretty tasty heated up.

Mmmm....pizza! Haven't made a homemade one in a long time...maybe we'll
grill one tomorrow!

We have homemade pizza 2-3 Friday nights a month. It's our "end of the
week - come home and crash" meal. :-) 'Last night was unusual, but I was
off from work yesterday. However, I have never made it on the grill or
tasted one that was. It sounds like a delicious departure from the oven!
I'll have to read up on this, perhaps for next time. We grill 12 months
out of the year, and this would make a nice addition.

Thanks, Chris!

When you hear a knock on your door some Friday, Wayne, open up. It's just
me demanding homemade pizza. :~)

Geeze Wayne, I thought only kids did that... but you're a guy so maybe
it's a guy thing. Someone should have slapped you upside the head and
asked you what you were thinking when you ate your pizza cold.

Honest to Pete. You need a woman around the house... to civilize you.

Everyone I know eats it cold. It never really occurred to me to re-heat
it.

Well, I don't know about that. :-) Ours is probably more civilized than
many where there is a woman around the house. Bonus: no pantyhose hanging
in the bathroom! :-)

I think I asked that question, but there were no answers. When I was
cleaning out boxes of clothes to take to the Salvation Army (BTW, we had a
big-bed truck tightly stuffed full of clothes and more to be loaded) I found
3 un-opened packages of panty-hose. When I touched them, my hand jerked
back as if the pack were some obnoxious party favor out of the past. Yikes!
If there is still such an item, and someone here is wearing them, forgive
me.

Yeah, come to think of it - they're more like cats than dogs, but they
*can* be trained to put the toilet seat down.
