Reheating Pizza In A Snap
We have all faced it: leftover pizza that has sat in the refrigerator. The cheese is cold and congealed. The crust is less than flavorful. Granted, some people prefer their pizza this way, but what if you do not? What do you do about it? Heating up a pizza in the microwave leaves you with a limp, soggy slice. There must be a better way.
If you have a frying pan, you can heat up decent pizza. Heat up your pan on a stove or hotplate. Once the pan is hot, place the pizza inside and let it warm over medium heat. You can speed up the process by covering the pan, but you may lose some of the crispness of the crust as the moisture stays in the pan. You may try covering it for a few minutes to help the cheese melt and then uncovering it so the crust can get crisp.
You can also use a griddle. Heat up the griddle and put the pizza on to crisp the crust. After a few minutes, flip the pizza over so the cheese warms and melts. Placing the cheese directly on the surface creates a delicious effect on the toppings, making the pizza absolutely delicious. It may even be better than it was the night before. You will not know until you try it.

The Ins and Outs of Pizza Stones
Pizza stones are fairly popular. Made from real stone or clay, these flat surfaces warm up as the oven warms up. You then put the pizza onto the hot stone for cooking. This makes a very crisp crust that you really can’t get any other way. Pizza stones are heavy and need special care. You will need a pizza peel to place and remove the pizza from the hot stone. Keep corn meal on hand to scatter on the stone to keep the dough from sticking. Using a stone may take a bit of practice, but they are excellent if you love thin, crisp pizzas.
Pizza pans made from metal are easy to find. You can find them made especially for Sicilian, thin crust and deep dish pizzas. Each kind is available in many different sizes so you can choose one that is right for you. They also come in different metals. While it is true that metal pans don’t crisp the crust as well as a stone, you can get closer to that quality with a perforated pizza pan. The holes in… Continue reading

Pizza is the Perfect Vegetarian Food
Healthy Yogi Chips from Wai Lana Yoga
Do you struggle figuring out what is for dinner? Every night you eat the same thing. You get back from a long tiring day of work and get home only to encounter another challenge. What will we eat? There aren’t any leftovers in the refrigerator to feed everyone. It seems like you just had everything you can think of.
