How do you reheat your 'za?

Reheat?

>>21554844 (OP)
Toaster oven

>>21554844 (OP)
Oven.

To reheat means to heat something again after it has already been cooked or warmed once. It’s usually done to leftovers or pre-cooked meals to make them hot and ready to eat.

>You might reheat soup on the stove so it’s warm for lunch.

>Or reheat pizza in the oven to make the crust crispy again.

>Microwaves are often used to reheat food quickly, though they can sometimes make things soggy.

It’s a super common word in cooking and food prep. Want tips on the best way to reheat something specific?

Well, back when I use to eat unhealthy foods like pizza with a crust, I use to get these monster 1 1/2 - 2 inch Giordano deep dish pizzas also Rosatis. You just lightly oil a non stick pan with canola and put it on medium, put on the cover and let cook for a few minutes. The "undercarriage" as you enthusiasts say stays crispy and helps the heavy pizza stay rigid to eat.

For good health reasons I've started making my own deep dish crustless pizza. It is still very delicious but I can only get it to keep its shape once. Any reheating after that is just done in a microwaveable plate that holds everything together then I eat as a casserole.

Za in a bowl in a bigger bowl with boiling water.

'za 'oup?

>>21554881
Nah, just some kind of 3rd world steaming.Seem to not dry them especially the crust too much compared to microwave or the rare za slice fork kebab on open gas stove fire,nice aroma from that though.

>>21554844 (OP)
Bit of butter on there, bit of oil in pan, also a few drops of water, low heat, a few minutes, mangia.

>>21554844 (OP)
With the heat of the rice

Anon, it's called a bain-marie or double boiler technique, how do you think people heated things before microwaves were invented?

Yes, now it's not as common (though in many ways it's better) but it's not some ancient mystical lore, people worldwide were doing it daily just ~30 years ago.

And yes if you want to microwave something quickly but don't want it to be dry, this tecnique fucks.

>>21554857
fuck off retard

With coffee. While it's in my stomach.

>>21554844 (OP)
prefer to eat it cold

>>21554844 (OP)
5 minutes in the airfryer at 170c/330f does the job

>>21554844 (OP)
throw cast iron on high heat to warm up while i rummage around in the fridge looking for the za
throw za in the cast iron, turn it to low, put on a lid
forget about it for 5-7 min
come back to crispy bottom za and melty cheese

>>21554913
It "fucks"? What a lame zoomer expression. It doesn't look good on you.

>>21554913
You can throw a wet paper towel on top and achieve the same effect

>>21554933
Bruh be crashing out fr fr

>>21554913
bain?

>>21554913
>how do you think people heated things before microwaves were invented?
ovens?

>>21554844 (OP)
I don't, the best way to eat pizza is by eating it fresh or cold from the fridge, reheating kills the flavor

>>21555032
Ovens work too but you need to be more careful not to overcook it. I've found that the bain-marie tecnique is the best if you want to preserve the flavor.

In my childhood toaster oven, of course.

>>21555057
What a cute little oven.
Cool

>>21554844 (OP)
Toaster oven with a wet metal tray, then a wire rack on top of it, then the pizza, then a little water on top, then foil.
It steams the pizza without drenching it allowing the dough to rehydrate
Then finish off with a minute or so of toasting/broil

>>21554848

This

Just let it sit at room temp for a few hours. Never reheat cooked food.

>>21555318
nonsense

>>21554844 (OP)
I eat it cold out of the box for breakfast the next morning. Wash it down with whatever half drunk beers I left on my counter, then take a barely warm shower just long enough to lather and rinse before starting my day.

>>21554844 (OP)
oven or air fryer if I'm feeling zesty

>>21554844 (OP)
microwave it to heat it up and melt the cheese
put the pizza on a hot frying pan to crisp the bottom
this is the way

>>21554844 (OP)
German method works best.

The oven, i mean.

cram it and leave it in there for 10 minutes

I used microwave because it doesn’t require that much effort on my part

Microwave because it is lazy, but ruins the bread if you do more than the minimum.

Oven is much better almost as good as fresh, but requires preheating the oven then generating a lot of extra heat in my home located in a hot climate 75% of the year.

>>21554844 (OP)
Heat gun and an electric iron.

>>21554844 (OP)
Microwave for a minute to get to room temp, then crisp in the oven

>>21555556
I genuinely came here to post this set of steps and then an anime picture, but you beat me to it. Wild.

For me I never reheat it. Cold is better

>>21554844 (OP)
Why would anyone reheat a pizza when they don't have any left?

>>21555704
Leave the fridge open it should balance the temps

>>21555409
This. But with a proper shower. And a shower beer. Reheating pizza is a waste of time.

>>21554844 (OP)
pan with water on the second step

toss it in the dryer on high for 4-5 minutes

>>21554846
this. pizza is delicious hot or cold, and the joy of leftover pizza is having both.

>>21554844 (OP)
>tomato sauce
if it's left out, eat it like that. if it's refrigerated, there is no saving it, toss it
>no sauce or any other sauce
flick some water on top and on bottom, microwave for 30~70 seconds depending on the size. or eat it cold.

>>21554844 (OP)
I rarely have leftover pizza, as I've taken to getting smalls, which I can eat in a sitting. But, back in the day when I had leftover delivery I'd just nuke it. Worked just fine on shitty delivery.

>>21555704
I've never had the bread ruined, but it was shitty delivery so there wasn't much to be ruined in the first place. It just got a tad bit floppier as a result.

>>21555828
This is best way to live.

>>21554844 (OP)
oven of course

>>21554844 (OP)
>throw cookie sheet in bottom rack of oven
>preheat oven to 450 F (about 230 C for non mericans)
>wait ~10 minutes
>put pizza on the cookie sheet (on the aluminum foil i wrap it in)
>convection bake for ~5 minutes
>move to top rack
>broil on high for about a minute

>>21554844 (OP)
Oven is best makes it crispy k saw a video on pan fry with a bit of water but don’t know how legit that is water always make me think it’s not going to work

>>21556921
if your leftover pizza comes from the fridge, it's a little dehydrated. run your faucet, put one hand under the water for a second and flick the drops onto the pizza before reheating

>>21554846
>>21554857
The Bongs call it "afterburner".

Microwave at 50% power for a couple minutes

oven, convection, 240c, 4min

it's money dude

water + pan

>>21554844 (OP)
airfrier, from a cold start 3 minutes, gets my pizza juts warm enough to be called warm but not too 'extra' cooked

Microwave cause it makes it soft

Ziplock bag + dishwasher. Put in a paper towel to absorb some of the grease and water

that's why we buy one slice at a time around here
we call it "getting a slice"

>>21558627
Which is indeed not a bad name, if you know the background...

>>21554844 (OP)
>Put pizza on a ceramic plate
>Put another ceramic plate over that plate upside to cover it.
>Microwave the pizza for around 1 minute or more.
>Pizza is not dry or too wet, and the cheese is only slightly melted more.

>>21554848
This.
Lived in Japan for 10 years before Air fryers existed and their houses dont have ovens.
Toaster Ovens are amazing for making/reheating pizza.

>>21554844 (OP)
preheat pan in oven (so crust will be nice and crispy)
take out pan, put pizza slices and rub some water on top since they will be dried out from sitting in the fridge
drizzle olive oil and maybe some minced garlic or chili pepper
This is the best method.
>>21554870
>You just lightly oil a non stick pan with canola and put it on medium
but then your undercarriage will be all oily and greasy? You should put the oil on top not bottom. I do like the pan cover method.

>>21554844 (OP)
Water + Pan, or I just toast it in the oven.
Microwave is garbage for garbage people. You want the pizza to have some crunch and bite to it.

oven

>>21554844 (OP)
in the microwave like a normal person

>>21554844 (OP)
I eat it cold, or ill microwave it for 15 seconds to remove the chill and eat it tepid.
Its a waste of time reheating to the point its hot, or the cheese is melting

>>21554913
The only reason to cook things like that is when you need tight temp control

>>21559979
yuck

>>21554844 (OP)
>warm up in the wave so cheese is melty
>steam over water in pan
>dump water
>cover and finish by crusting bottom with butter

>>21561831
convoluted but you do you
