The water evaporates and gives more moisture to the pizza

>> No.4846079

>>4846074
wouldn't the added moisture make it chewy, instead of crispy?

That's not a pizza. That's not a pizza at all!

Actually, microwaving it without moisture will make the outer crust tougher. Kinda like jerky.

I assume the water in a glass is there to prevent this.

Iunno, one should never microwave apple pie, no matter how much caramel is poured on it.

Bread that's stale but not moldy?

Stick it in the microwave to 20 seconds and it'll counteract the dryness.

Incidentally, what's the coating you get on that card you use with microwave pizzas that reflects dry heat onto crusts?

>> No.4846159

keep a loaf of bread in the freezer in case you fall on hard times for a couple days and didn't buy food. there's always freezer toast.

also buy bags of frozen mixed veg. and a bag of powdered milk. same reason

I prefer to keep several kilos of dry rations of split peas, lentils, and rice for the same reason.

I was recently unemployed and I refused to take money from the government about it. I placed rent, incurred debt, gasoline, and internet in front of food in priority. I didn't buy anything from a store between July and late September, so all I had was garden vegetables and dry rations.

Poverty happens.

Did you know that if you're microwaving left over fried rice, you can slightly moisten a paper towel, lay it over the rice, and when you nuke it, you won't get hard rice-rocks that happen when the rice dries out in your fridge?

no, you didn't

Fuck that. I used to re-heat pizza in the microwave. Then I tried doing it on my cast iron.

I'll never go back. It comes off perfect and crispy.

what's so difficult about reheating pizza either in the oven or on a frying pan (preferably cast iron)? are you really that impatient to eat soggy, chewy leftover pizza utterly ruined by a fail cooking technology?

in that case, reheat it on a pizza stone in full sun next to a south-facing window

Yes, because that is totally an option when you live in Canada during the latter half of the year.

Dough is gluten alveolæ, microwaves excite molecules. Since the alveolae walls are thin, the water evaporation is high. This is not as significant in most baked goods, but the density of the toppings-covered area is much greater than the crust. That dough is also a lot more wet than the crust.

There were several reports of this working, and assuming it does work, it is my opinion that the water serves as a buffer for the microwaves, a bit like control rods.

I just peel back the leaves, then wrap them around the base so I have a nice insulation between the screaming hot corn and my hand.

You just pull the brown hairs on top after peeling down the leaves and they come off in one.

in that case, get on your doge-sled and mush them at top speed inside a gigantic hamster wheel...convert the kinetic energy into electricity and reheat pizza slice under a heat lamp while it's resting on the pizza stone

Yeah...the results are awesome...don't forget to put a metal fork as well, it adds more texture

I hear dropping ice cubes into boiling liquid is a good way to create flavourful froth. Cooling the boiling liquid any other way does not result in a dish that is very flavourful.
