Yea 450 for a few mins and all good. Aint waiting 30 mins Id go buy a damn pie lol
Ok NO.. STOP SEARCHING/SCROLLING ….. here is the best way … heat up a pan on stovetop, medium heat throw just a tiny bit of butter in as it sizzles , lay ur slice down , turn heat down just a tad; 3 mins rotate the slice , after 2 min turn heat to medium high, put just a drop of water in cover it with lid. You will see it start to seem , I let it go for 20 seconds or so , cut the heat , keep lid on for bout a minute … it’s just as good IF NOT BETTER than when you first got it
Goodness gracious I don’t have a week to reheat it. Who has time for this
Just tried this. It’s the best reheated pizza I’ve ever had! Awesome!
I used this method and the pizza wa tougher than my shoe .
I thought no way it could be as good or better. It actually was though ! No cap
25-30 minutes is way too long, I’d rather eat it cold at that point or take the microwave method with a cup of water to stop the crust becoming chewy, or even hot frying pan so i can have pizza in under 5 minutes
I just tried it, nothing special. It's not even worth the foil.
Heat up the oven to 400. Once its ready, put in the pizza in for approx 5 minutes and bam!
But is teflon non stick pans really safe nowadays…. C8….
Its interesting that every comment here says their way is better. The method in the video is great, allows many slices to be heated at a time and its hands off. Will be doing it this way from now on.
Pro Tip: Air Fryer, 360°F for 5 minutes. These Test Kitchen people are on fentanyl.
I wanted comments on whether this worked or not, what I got was 72 comments on everyone else's method…. people, do your own video…
I totally agree with those suggesting pan fry to reheat! I add a touch of butter in the pan as well. Maybe some garlic as well. Better than the original pizza and you can clearly get it as crisp as you want. Sometimes I don’t eat my pizza until I do this 🤣 The best!!
High heat for 2 min in a skillet, add pizza and lid, lower to low for around 3 min, that’s the way to go
Cmon
I've tried many methods. This weekend I was doing some grilling, I threw a slice of a bacon pizza on the grill, (about 500F), in about 5 minutes the cheese was melty and the bottom and crust had a better crisp than new.
Ain't nobody got time to wait 25 minutes to reheat their pizza.
I just did this: best pizza ever!!
Left-over pizza?
I use a non-stick skillet, very low heat, and a lid. Crispier than when it was delivered.
Air Fryer reheat ftw. You crazy man 6 minutes and its new pizza!
I bake my leftover pizza in the oven on preheat at 350deg. but my oven is super old and so the heat is really not all that strong. it only takes 5 min however and for something like costco pizza, it does the trick. I guess the bad thing about my method is the cheese will get a little melty but the bottom will not get crunchy… (but it never started crunchy as well)
Nothing beats cold pizza for breakfast!
Geez, in College we never seem to have a problem opening up a pizza box left on the coffee table on Saturday morning and just eating it. Especially with a breakfast beer.
I air fry leftover pizza. 360 for 4 minutes. Perfect.
Heres a better method. Instead of waiting 30 minutes to REHEAT your pizza. Drive over to Walmart or Target and buy a toaster oven or Cosori dual burner Air Fryer. then reheat your pizza in those. If you are close to and quick at Walmart/Target and then back home. You can probably do it faster than the original 30 minutes in the oven.
I do this same thing but with a skillet on the stovetop. It's more efficient if you're just doing one slice and works really well as long as the pizza is not too thick. You can end up with a crispy bottom but the toppings still cold.
Definitely can confirm the toaster oven is the way to go, like other comments are saying. It's warm, crispy, and pretty fast – it sounds like the results from the oven pizza
Left over pizza? Never had that problem.
I use a toaster oven on toast comes out perfect
Sure, or heat it on the stove on a skillet. Or better yet, just scarf it cold while you nurse your hangover and grieve your life choices.
Nope y’all gotta take pizza to the next level; y’all grab your favourite cold beer, one electric blenderizer machine, drop in a cold slice or two of pizza, pour in the beer and press the high speed button. Impress yur family with a PIZZA SMOOTHY!! Pro Tip: dump a can of tomato paste into the blender, it’s like extra sauce…
My air fryer, 2 minutes at 400F works well.
NO. This is bad. Absolutely NOT. 450 oven, brought all the way up to temp with a pan or without. NOT covered. This video is ridiculously BAD cooking.
A nonstick pan with kosher salt on the bottom, so that they slide around, after the bottom crisps up cover the top the top side turn off the flame, this may take 5-7 minutes in total, plus you'll lose that cardboard taste that the pizza absorbed! I purposely let it cool down and then re heat,because once it is in the box it is ruined
People re-heat pizza? I eat mine cold out of the fridge for breakfast.
In my opinion, the air fryer works much better
Best way I've found is in a lidded non-stick fry pan. Warm the pan over medium heat, put a slice in, add a little bit of water to the pan, keeping it away from the pizza (think I use about half teaspoon) and slap the lid on. Once the water is evaporated in a minute or two, it's done.
I just heat in a skillet. Easy peasy.
I don’t have a toaster oven, so I use the broiler function of the regular oven. I put it at 400F and heat the pizza for about 3-4 minutes. Not quite as fast as microwave, but it gets the cheeses melted without drying it too much, is fast, and no need to preheat the oven, so not tto energy consuming.
Love this channel and her. If u have one, we just use our airfryer works like a charm. It takes about 6-8 mins. or 4-5 mins. 4 one slice.
Best way I've found to reheat pizza is in a frying pan. Though I recently tried putting a slice in toaster bags and it did pretty well. I also got thumbs up when a family member reheated it in a silicone pizza storage container. But eating it cold seems to be the fam favorite.
PLEASE do a video on Collard greens, Blackeyed Peas & Mexican Cornbread! It's my go too Southern dish.
