Cooking a store bought pizza is : temperature, timing, and location I like to make pizza that can be reheated and enjoyed -- later

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

  • 13 x 18 Cookie Baking Pan
  • Non-Stick Paper - cooking sheet
  • 12 inch - Store Bought Pizza
  • Small Digital Timer

Step1
Place oven racks with one in center... and one on bottom...
Start oven and set temperature -- BAKE at 375 degrees
Takes about 5 minutes to reach temperature
Step2
Get cookie baking sheet ready...place non-stick paper on sheet...put pizza in middle of sheet.
I usually place french fries, or nuggets on ends -- to fill sheet...believe in getting bang for buck.
Step3
When the oven has reached 375 degrees I place sheet on center rack and use a TIMER -- BAKE for 15 minutes...
This lightly browns bottom of pizza - heat rises
Step4
Most people cook until crust is HARD to get top DONE --WRONG
*** To brown top of the pizza place pan on BOTTOM rack ***
*** Turn oven to BROIL -- HIGH ....Set Timer -- 2 MINUTES ***

Tips & Warnings

  • Broiling top of pizza for 2 MINUTES makes all the difference in the world. This will probably work on anything that is baked on a cookie sheet, most reccomend turning over pieces, this way turning over is not required.
  • A garlic spray really makes pizza taste yummy.
  • Use pot holders to move HOT baking pan
  • Move carefully -- Do not burn yourself
