How do you cook a frozen pizza without it being soggy?

Before Cooking:

* Let it thaw slightly: Take the pizza out of the freezer 10-15 minutes before cooking. This helps the crust to crisp up better.

* Preheat your oven: A hot oven is key! Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the pizza box instructions (usually 400-450°F).

* Use a baking sheet: Don't cook the pizza directly on the oven rack. Use a baking sheet to help the heat circulate and prevent the bottom from becoming soggy.

* Don't overcrowd the oven: If you're cooking multiple pizzas, don't put them too close together. This can make the pizza steam rather than cook evenly.

During Cooking:

* No foil: Avoid covering the pizza with aluminum foil while baking. This traps moisture and makes the crust soggy.

* Avoid broiling: Broiling can burn the cheese and toppings before the crust has a chance to crisp up.

Additional Tips:

* Use a pizza stone: If you have a pizza stone, preheat it along with your oven. This will help create a crispy crust.

* Add a few tablespoons of water: Add a small amount of water to the bottom of the oven (not on the pizza) to create steam. This can help the cheese melt more evenly and keep the crust from drying out.

* Use a pizza cutter: A pizza cutter will make it easier to cut the pizza into even slices without squashing the crust.

Try these methods:

* Oven: Follow the box instructions, preheating the oven thoroughly, and using a baking sheet.

* Air Fryer: Some frozen pizzas are designed for air fryers. Be sure to check the box instructions for specifics.

* Cast Iron Skillet: Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Place the pizza on the hot skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Enjoy your delicious, crispy frozen pizza!
