Admiral PatrickWhen the 'popcorn' button on the microwave is 3 seconds too long
MrNesserYou have a button for popcorn?
Mid 2000’s microwave. Has buttons for popcorn, pizza, potato, bacon, and beverage.
[deleted] in lemmyThey are all trash buttons too.
The pizza button works pretty well (I think it varies the power kind of like defrost does), but civilized people should always either eat leftover pizza cold or reheat it in the air fryer lol.
I am occasionally civilized!
Air fryer is the best, although sometimes I have to cut them down to fit in the trays on mine.
Microwave can work for some types of pizza, but I find it works way better with a reduced power setting and a little longer so it heats more evenly.
Frying in a stovetop pan can work for hand tossed or thin pizza, but I haven’t had luck with pan or thicker crusts.
Microwave on high is the worst though. Edges of cheese gets hard if it is long enough tonwarm the middle.
I’ve thought about getting an air fryer just for this. I usually use the oven or toss it in a pan.
If I’m having leftover pizza for lunch while smoking a brisket or ribs I’ll toss a couple of slices on the smoker on an uncoated paper plate. That’s actually my preferred method but I refuse to crank up a smoker for leftover pizza.
It’s a little pricy, but we absolutely love this Cuisinart Air Fryer/Toaster Over thing for anything that was properly cooked elsewhere, though I’ve used it for halfway decent roasted potato wedges straight from the knife. Basket Air Fryers hold so little as to be more frustrating than anything, and stacking deep defeats the purpose half the time. I have no idea if the grill setting works well, though.
Bake setting, 325, 2-3 minutes is all you need for most pizza reheatings.
