Pizza

[ZOMBIECRUNCH]

Whats the best temperature to cook pizza at. I prefer 400 or 450 degrees because you can have it done in like 8 to 10 minutes. And still have heat left to throw some other stuff in there while the heat goes down from the oven cooling off. I personally hate where directions say heat the oven to 350 or something and wait 25 minutes to half an hour. Because that is just too long for pizza.

225 normal world degrees is perfect

I think cooking pizza fast is better unless you have some specific reason not to like using a certain topping that is better at a lower temp.

I usually find it depends on brand and if it is fresh or frozen. I don't mind the wait, so I usually just go by what's instructed on the box.

Red Barron's cook at 400 for 18-20 minutes.

Many years ago, when I was a pizza cook at a local theme park, we had the ovens set to 700F. Pizzas were cooked in 7 minutes. One time, they measured the temperature in the ovens (they had top and bottom elements), and found it to be 1400F in them.

As far as at home, even Boboli states to bake them at 450F. As far as Red Barron pizza goes, that is from frozen, not thawed.

Set the oven to 450 and you only need to wait 11 minutes. It's the law of british thermal units. That the more calories of heat added. The less time it takes for something to cook. You would be using the same amount of gas. Just turn the heat up so you don't have to wait so long. You might have some heat left over for some left overs to get warmed up in the oven when the pizza is done or other stuff. Like warm up some muffins on the quick or banana bread for desert. Also cheese matters. Deep dish is usually a thick mozzarella cheese. I would never try speeding up the time for a deep dish pizza unless I had a industrial oven. Since the temperature needs to be consistant and high for that.

just put it under your couch pillows and then do some gaming on that couch, it'll be ready when you hit the munchies.

Those recommended temperatures on the back of the box are there because they do not know if you have an oven that can go to 500 degrees. Or broil. But not many people can retain information that they learned in science. Since BTU's are calculated by calories. And you can time the amount of time that it take for a btu to reach a certain calorie. Unless you are at say 5,000 or 7,000 meters.

600 for 30 minutes
Enough to cook for the entire house

You have entered the perfect time and temperature for a pizza. However. I make it thick. So I need more heat. How ever for deep dish. That cannot be rushed. Because you will have a burn outside and a soggy inside. You you are best waiting 45 minutes so it evenly done.

Red Baron is like a brick when it is frozen though.

And why it takes so long to bake. ;)

You really want to blast a pizza as much as you can, that's why industrial pizza ovens are so hot.

When I make pizza at home most of the time I build it on a silicone mat, so 480(F) is the maximum since that's the material's limitation. Most home ovens can only do about 500 anyway, so that's a good enough reach imo.
