Look, Aldi has to cut corners to keep prices low. I bet removing that line from the instructions saved… something!
I mean, it says the temperature it has to reach. So hotter will get it there faster. I don’t generally buy frozen pizzas but when I do it’s for a party so inevitably I end up with a bunch of boxes that say to cook at different temperatures. I heat the oven to 425, put them all in and remove as they finish (I have 2 ovens and 5 oven racks)
I do agree they should advise a temperature, you are right. But maybe more people are like me and disregard it?
It’s pizza. The hotter the oven, the better. Ignore the cooking time because you’ll have to reduce it. Just check on the pizza every 3-4 minutes and you’ll be fine.
The fact that they included the 1st step but forgot the temparature…
400-425F or 200C is pretty much universally the temperature, but yeah…somebody done goofed.
The best thing about Fahrenheit is that a bunch of frozen foods can be cooked at 420°
Also, 69° is a good temperature for indoors
Indoors I usually have at 73
Mine’s actually at 71, but I keep it 69 during winter =)
Is this your first frozen pizza?
200°c / 180°c fan
That’s the cooking temperature for like 90% of things
For pizza you could probably get away with another 20° higher and it will be more crispy.
And then crank it up to 220° fan when it’s taking too long.
As is traditional, yes
In the UK that’s pretty much all food and should go without saying. Aldi knows what it’s doing.
Cook it on hot.
Around here, if there’s no posted speed limit, the limit is 50. So try 50?
400 degrees Fahrenheit
Also, Mama Cozzi isn’t real.
That’s the cool part, this pizza actually sets the temperature for you so you don’t have to.
Fucking AI pizzas.
See you’re supposed to sous vide it at 165 then sear it.
Ah drats, I par-boiled mine and then put it on a kebab spit
I poached mine, send help
Ah yes, pizza benedict. My favorite!
I can’t get mine to unstick from the wall of the tandoori.
This is the way
Oh that would be an interesting mess.
i always cook pizza at 420° bc it just feels right
That’s 420° Celsius, right? For that delicious charcoal effect
No, just 420°. But since pizzas have rotational symmetry you also use other funny angles, like 69°.
Cajun pizza
As long as it contains 0% James Carville by volume
Professional pizza ovens do reach temperatures between 350°C and 500°C. So 420°C isn’t unreasonable for a pizza, your oven at home probably won’t get that hot though.
Pizza ovens are usually at around 320°C, I’ve seen from 300 to 350… I’ve never seen one set above 350
Brick ovens can go there, doesn’t mean that you should cook the pizza at that unless you’re one who likes charcoal as a topping.
I have a cheap small electric 400C pizza oven, but that’s not something you’d use for frozen pizza. And I still wished it could get a bit hotter…
The pizza I make is still decent, however - already got the approval from a few Italian friends. It’s Neapolitan style pizza, not Roman.
I mean…my convection oven does either 410, or 425.
I cook everything at 425. So you’re not far off from what I do.
5min at 410 + 10min at 425, perfect avg
Pssshhhh!!! I ain’t doin all that!!!
I’m putting the it in for 15 minutes, then forget about it, and remember 2 hours later that I cooked a now cold pizza.
