Physicists and other scientists: What is the best way to reheat pizza? (1 Viewer)

[Ron-P]

Agree Jack, with most everything, but the pineapple. I love the pineapple/Canadian bacon combo.
My pizza of choice would contain the 3 meats;
Pepperoni
Canadian bacon
Sausage

Jack, the way to do it is:
30-40 sec. in microwave (does the actual heating) followed immediately by
toaster over on medium toast (to add crispness)
As far a cold pizza goes, don't knock it until you've tried it.

After readingabout the 'veggie' pizzas, thius got me thinking...

Does anybody besides my little brother LIKE pineapples in their pizza? I think its one of the nastiest things in the world that ruins one of the best foods in the world... Eww, i mean, its sweet, its juicy, and fruity.. Pizza is supposda be salty/cheesy, not juicy and sweet and fruity!

Cold pizza. The breakfast of college students.

I lost count of the number of times I rolled out of bed on a Saturday morning, grabbed a cold leftover slice of pizza and a cold leftover can of beer, and proceeded across the campus to the football game.

I too am in the Cold Pizza eating group. I like it just about as much as hot from the box.

 

[MickeS]

NickSo, I'm with you on the pineapple thing, in fact I think fruit ruins just about every hot meal there is.

I'm with you there, Ron! Meat and cheese, that's my kind of pizza. No onions, no veggies.

 

[Jed M]

Meat and cheese, that's my kind of pizza.

Right on Robert! If it doesn't Moo or Oink I am not interested.

I like pinapple on my pizza. When eaten with canadian bacon, I think the sweet pineapple provides a stark constrast to the salty bacon. I find the two complement each other nicely.

My other favorite is sausage and green chile, though I've had trouble finding it outside of New Mexico.

Last week, I tried Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce on my pizza. I was surprised at how great the pizza tasted!

Personally I'm a meat man, its Pepperoni, Bacon and smoked meat. that is the best.
BTW, for those of you who make your own pizza dough/crust, the key ingredient is NOT water but BEER. And it does depend on the right beer, I have been searching for the perfect beer for my dough and me, but I still only have candidates, no clear winner. Oh, guinness doesn't work well in the pizza dough, but it does look interesting.
After all this talk of pizza, I know what I am havin for supper.

 

[Ron-P]

Exactly Leila. I love the Hawaiian style pizza, it's right up there with the meat lovers.
Pizza Out~

 

[Chris Derby]

Unless you have a toaster oven, I'm going to second "350F for 10 minutes"... Vary this according to crust thickness and topping density.

Jack after thinking very hard about this subject, I decided to toss out your ground rule. Conventional ovens are for wimps
Actually one of the best Pizzas I ever had was cooked in a solar powered oven. Nothing more then a parabolic reflector that focused the sunlight onto a metal box. Don't see why this wouldn't work for re-heating. Secret is circulation. Warm, or hot air the circulates around the pizza for even heat distribution.
For cooking a pizza, nothing, and I mean NOTHING beats a big, hot, wood fired clay/brick oven.
Finally, might I sugest a small, home built breeder reactor? (Check out the story about this Eagle Scout) Remember to wear the lead undies. Depends filled with bird-shot rather then absorbent fibers should work, but remember IANANE.
Brady, I use a wheat beer for my base, specifically Big Rock's Grasshopper, a proper (Canadian) beer. Toppings: Old Cheddar (preferably white), Mozza(sp) Parmesan(sp), hot Italian Sausage, pepperoni, ground beef, fresh garlic, mushrooms.
Edited for brief moments of clarity.

Sometime this summer I'm planning on trying my first grilled pizza. I'll probably wimp out and use a store bought crust the first time or two until I get the knack of it, but I'll bet it will be pretty darn good anyway.

(BTW, I only use lump charcoal - none of those icky briquettes or *shudder* gas...)

I'll bet a charcoal grill would reheat a pizza very nicely.

 

[Jack Briggs]

Boboli Bread isn't bad. But a homemade crust is to die for. Charcoal. Interesting.

 

[Ron-P]

Spread the coals out evenly over the entire surface of the BBQ. Open the bottom vents 50%. Open the top vents 100%. Put the lid on and your good to go for about 20-25 minutes. BBQ'd pizza

BBQ'd bacon is also to die for. Get yourself some foil and make a tray. Add some hickory chips and double

I love to BBQ.
Peace Out~

Hawaiian pizza.....cold.....mmmmmmm!

Baaaaaa!

 

[Jed M]

Baaaaaa!

Good point Max. I never thought of Lamb but I am sure it would be good. Gyro Pizza or something
