The pizzas I use are already cooked. Asda does that part for me. I'm just defrosting them and bringing them to eating temperature.
But if I was cooking one, there's no reason you couldn't do it in a microwave. If anything I'd say they'd end up softer not harder, as an oven tends to cook from the outside and make a hard crust.
I'm not talking about defrosting. I've bought ready meals which are sat at room or fridge temperature, they go in the microwave to heat and the plastic melts.
It's more tasty and quicker to make :-)
What a palava. We invented ready meals for a reason.
You take them out of the container they were in dumbass.
I appreciate the better things in life and don't want to spend hours making food. To make something tasty, you make it warmer, end of story.
Wota connoisseur.
There is actually. You don't get the bottom cooked anything like as well as if you do it in a proper oven.
Yes, and that's nothing like a real pizza.
That's what its meant to be with a real pizza.
And your stomach is happy to wait?!
We arent all silly little kids stamping their foot and demanding what they want right now.
Why could they not be switched independantly after the stepup transformer?
Yes I know that. But however it lowers the total cooking power, I've never felt the need to use less than all of it. Just as when I drive a car, I only lift my foot off the floor for a corner or a slow woman driver in front of me.
Not really true with the old microwaves where the on/off cycle was every 10 seconds! All that does is make the food hot then warm then hot then warm, not very good I would have thought.
Well they're meant to, but you can see them flickering, especially at the lower quarter of brightness. Or maybe I have better eyesight than the designers?
I bought a small apple tart at a stall at Manchester Airport the other day and the assistant said she was going to put it in the oven for 3 seconds. I asked how powerful the oven was and she said 1,900 watts. My tart was certainly warm - I didn't observe exactly how long she gave it!
Exactly, more power, less time.
Yes, you actually are that stupid.
Yes, you actually are that stupid.
Yes, you actually are that pig ignorant.
It allows more time for the heat to move from the outer layer of a big chunk of stuff like with a leg of lamb or quart of something you are defrosting to the inside where the microwaves don't get to.
No it isn't. The cooking has already been done. All we have to do is apply heat to make it a nice palatable temperature.
Yes it does, firstly you have to warm up the oven....
When I see food, I get hungry, it's a natural instinct. Therefore I cannot prepare food without consuming half the ingredients during the cooking operation.
I always want something fast, therefore I cook EVERYTHING in a microwave. Even things that say you have to use an oven, I ignore it and use the microwave, funnily enough it tastes nice and is edible.
Yes, you actually are that terminal a f****it.
Just another stupid little kid that must have everything right away.
Yes, you actually are that terminal a f****it.
Yes, you actually are that terminal a f****it.
Tastes much better when done the right way with all except boiled veg and a few other things.
No, it's an INSTINCT. Look it up.
I eat because I need energy. There are plenty thing in life that are more fun than eating. I don't eat as a hobby.
My tastes tell me what I need to eat. Fat salt and sugar are requirements for survival.
What's wretched about food that gives me energy? It's a fuel and nothing more. Do you buy your car tasty petrol?
No, it's pre-cooked, why would I buy a pre-made pizza and still have to do the work myself? If I wanted a home made pizza, I'd start from scratch.
Nope, only the base is, not the topping.
Good luck replacing that 2kW hoover if it goes wrong. I don't think it's legal to sell such a power hungry hoover now.
