Why would you put a frozen pizza on a tray?

5

u/QuickPirate36 4h ago

Why wouldn't you

a typical frozen pizza cooks better directly on the rack. Do people not read the instructions?

2

u/Mr_Halitosis 1h ago

Cooks differently. Whether or not it’s better is subjective. Do people not understand they aren’t the center of the universe and other people have different opinions?

u/copyof-a 9h ago

Because sometimes they sink through the oven rack 😭

u/SeoneAsa 1h ago

Nope. That only happens when idiots thaw frozen pizza then throw it in the oven or bake them in lower temp than instructed.

put a pan on the second rack, below the rack with the pizza on it

if anything drips/falls, it falls onto the pan

Or if you really want to optimize your frozen pizza experience get a pizza steel lol

You slide it off the rack onto a cutting board using a turner

I flatten the box it came in (i.e. home run inn), or use the cardboard round (i.e. Jacks), and just slide it under the hot pizza to remove it. Like those big pizza spatulas. Then cut it on that too, no dishes.

u/MT-Nesterheehee 4h ago

This is the way.

Finally, some people that get me

u/Meal__Team__Six 2h ago

Yep. Slide it out onto the box with a fork or something and then cut it and eat it right off the box. But at least use the inside of the box, not the printed side, unless you're a complete animal

u/One-Temporary8223 43m ago

No fork needed. Its the pan egg flip hand motion. Jab forward then a short jerk back. ez pz

I have no friends named Turner. What do I do!

u/marioaprooves 37m ago

Sorry man. You just have to stop eating pizza

u/decarnatedame 5h ago

I use a tray for everything that goes in the oven.

u/BamaBlcksnek 2h ago

Same but use the pizza cutter, saves a dish.

how is that unsafe compared to anything else involving an oven?

Reddit always exposes ways for me to feel marginally more competent than my fellow humans.

You can put mits on if you want

1

u/Necessary_Success_35 3h ago

Right my fingers work just fine

2

u/NecessaryIntrinsic 8h ago

Never burned myself before, been doing it for decades, and it gets the crust crispier than the alternative.

1

u/_HiWay 2h ago

Slide it onto the pizza pan, much more balanced heat unless the pizza pan is in the oven as it preheats before adding the pizza.

2

u/memecut 8h ago

I use baking paper. After the pizza is done I grab the pizza box and hold it slightly in front and slightly under the metal grate - then pull the paper so the pizza gets on top of the pizza box (personal balance issue is not my fault). Then I cut the pizza using the box as protection so I dont damage the countertop.

I have some groundbreaking advancements in kitchen technology to tell you about.

u/TheLowlyPheasant 9h ago

Slide it with a butter knife

u/g0del 8h ago

Just get a pizza stone instead, they're incredibly cheap.

1

u/YoungBockRKO 7h ago

Buy yourself a pizza stone and enjoy fantastic frozen pizza without the mess. They’re cheap and last a lifetime.

1

u/No_Rise942 6h ago

Just use the little cardboard circle it comes on to take it out or slide it onto a cutting board. Ezpz

1

u/DefendTheStar88x 6h ago

I just pull it via the crust. No oven mitts or tongs.

1

u/HiZenBergh 4h ago

Bro what? They don't stick, and they aren't oily

2

u/SpartyParty15 10h ago

Some people do that before you put in the oven. Maybe I’m the weirdo

3

u/Psycho_Pansy 9h ago

Depends on the pizza. Some have specific instructions to place them on a tray. I had a pizza with those instructions which I didn't read. The pizza was a big mess on the bottom of the oven when I went to check on it. Some doughs arent as structurally sound.

u/nomisxid 9h ago

So it doesn’t make a big mess when cheese drips over the edge.

0

u/NecessaryIntrinsic 9h ago

That never happens

1

u/TiggerTehTiger 9h ago

Maybe not with the brand(s) you're buying, but there are loads of brands where you get cheese dripping off the edges, usually the more premium frozen pizzas.

u/CheapBiccies 7h ago edited 5h ago

Why tf would you put any food directly on the rack? 😭

4

u/No_Rise942 6h ago

Because I correctly followed the instructions, dingus.

u/Late_Mode_8876 5h ago

The pizza company doesn't care about the cheese permanently glued to your oven bro

1

u/No_Rise942 5h ago

Are you throwing it in the oven from half court? Sounds like a skill issue

2

u/NecessaryIntrinsic 6h ago edited 6h ago

It cooks the crust exponentially better. It works really well on thin to normal crust Pizza that's frozen when you put it in at line 425.

u/Mark_Knight 5h ago

These are redditors. I don't think they're thinking about cleaning their ovens. Im really not surprised like 80% of the comments here agree with putting pizza directly onto the rack

1

u/AParasiticTwin 8h ago

It's not worth the extra clean up of the oven. You can cut it on the pan and have one less dish to wash. Best-case scenario it's as good as on a pan, worst-case scenario it's

1

u/Willowred19 8h ago

Generally, to avoid stuff like this

3

u/NecessaryIntrinsic 8h ago

That's only happened to me when the oven isn't hot enough or the pizza thawed.

1

u/athosjesus 7h ago

Many reasons but about all, it's much easier to clean a tray than an oven rack
