A trick saves electricity and also increases the enjoyment experience.

So it's no wonder that pizza is also one of the most popular ready meals in Germany.
But baking in the home oven consumes quite a lot of energy.
A trick makes the pizza tastier and also saves electricity.
Electricity guzzler oven: prepare pizza better on the stove
Frozen pizza is quick to make and everyone knows how to do it.
After all, the principle of preparation is always the same: preheat the oven, put the pizza in and then all you have to do is wait.
Only the baking times and the temperature of the oven can vary.
But especially in times of high energy prices, another kitchen appliance is much better for preparing the pizza, as reported by
Op-Online
.
Because the oven is a power guzzler (more service news on RUHR24).
"The oven needs about twice as much energy as the stovetop," explains Gerhild Loer, from the consumer advice center in North Rhine-Westphalia, to
Focus
.
"Heating up the large baking chamber takes a lot longer and isn't as efficient as a pot on a stovetop." But does stovetop pizza even taste good?
And how should it be prepared?

Then the pizza is placed on a small grid in the pan.
A grid from the microwave or a conventional bread grid from the toaster is sufficient for this.
If you don't have one, you can also use permanent baking foil.
Now just put the lid on the pan and cook for about 5 minutes.
