Reheating your cold slice

Forget the microwave.  Cold pizza tastes better than nuked shit.

What you want is a toaster oven.  It will do a really good job of restoring the crisp texture back to the crust.

Most toaster ovens have a temperature setting much like a regular oven and then a high setting called “toast.”  This is what I usually make use of.

1.  Set to “toast”

2.  Set timer to medium

3.  Grab your cold slice and take it over to the sink

4.  Run your free hand under the water.  Remove and let excess water drip from your hand and on to the top of the slice, covering the toppings part, not the crust. (Learned this trick from an old roommate).  This puts moisture back into the cheese so it can be absorbed during heating.

5.  Place slice into the toaster oven directly on the rack.  Do not use a toaster pan.  The oven should already be on since you did this way back in step 2.  I’m a real time-saving kind of gent.

6.  Wait for the timer to go off or monitor the progress of the slice to your liking.  You should be able to hear a little sizzling going on.

7.  Put on a plate and enjoy.  You can use a reverse microwave if the pizza is too hot so you don’t burn the roof of your mouth.
