Do you always follow the instructions on the pizza box?
Then this trick will amaze you, which suggests something completely different.
Frozen pizza* isn't to everyone's taste, but there are undeniable advantages: you don't have to do anything yourself (neither yeast dough nor toppings) and it's ready in a flash.
That's why pizza
is a popular
ready meal
, especially after work
.
Have you always followed the
instructions on the back of the packaging
?
Read here which point you can simply ignore and why the result is even better.

Frozen pizza: Do not preheat the oven, let the pizza defrost instead
Normally, the
instructions on frozen pizzas
are as follows: preheat the oven, take the pizza out of the freezer and unpack it, put it in the oven and bake it in 12-15 minutes.
However, clever pizza lovers have now discovered a simple trick that is supposed to make the pizza better – without much effort and contrary to the typical
preparation recommendations
.
The tip says that you should not transport the pizza directly from the freezer to the oven - but let the pizza thaw first.
This should make the pizza crust crispier and the topping less burned.
This also allows you to preheat the
oven
save.
Keep an eye on the pizza so it doesn't get too dark.
Because defrosting reduces the specified baking time for a pizza.
Which is also the reason for the preparation recommendations on frozen pizzas.

This is why this type of preparation is not recommended on the frozen pizza pack
A product is only of optimal quality if it has been stored and prepared according to the packaging instructions.
These are standardized, which means that the frozen pizza has been tested by the manufacturer and prepared under the specified conditions.
Only if you follow the same steps - and put the
pizza in the oven frozen
- can the manufacturer guarantee an optimal result.
For the same reason, the package says you should preheat the oven.
The only reason for
preheating
is that an exact baking time is then achieved
for a dish
can be specified.
After all, ovens are different and have different heating-up times: the baking time would vary greatly.
This is how manufacturers of frozen meals
protect themselves against customer complaints.

Preheating the oven: Does it make sense or is it a waste of energy?
By the way: You should not leave a thawed frozen pizza lying around for hours or overnight.
Just take them out of the freezer in time and let them thaw, but then you should cook them right in the oven.
