I’ve never fully understood how the ‘popcorn’ button on microwaves work (I’ve read different things that may or may not all be true depending on make/model), but my current one always runs for exactly 3 seconds too long and ever so slightly burns the popcorn.
It’s not burned enough to throw it out, but it does give a noticeable “burnt popcorn” smell that kind of ruins my day.
So instead of pressing “popcorn” and doing something else, I have to stand there and watch it to hit ‘cancel’ in time.
I am occasionally civilized!
Air fryer is the best, although sometimes I have to cut them down to fit in the trays on mine.
Microwave can work for some types of pizza, but I find it works way better with a reduced power setting and a little longer so it heats more evenly.
Frying in a stovetop pan can work for hand tossed or thin pizza, but I haven’t had luck with pan or thicker crusts.
Microwave on high is the worst though. Edges of cheese gets hard if it is long enough tonwarm the middle.
It really is. I was late to the air fryer game assuming they were just another kitchen gimmick, but once I caved to peer pressure and bought one, I can’t imagine not having one.
I think that’s what the “Pizza” button on mine does. You can hear it kicking on and off at a weird cadence similar to but more frequent than defrost, so I assume that’s how it works.
I’ve never tried that, but we have baked deep dish style in a cast iron frying pan.
On the stovetop I like to use a ceramic non-stick to reheat so I don’t need oil to keep i lt from sticking. The goal is evenly heating, so it doesn’t need to hold a lot of heat.
I’ve always wanted to do the cast iron pizza!
What I do for pizzas overloaded with toppings is start in the microwave, finish in the air fryer.
I’m also late to the air fryer game, because I didn’t want to keep making"fried" things… Instead I just kept frying things on the stove…
