Frozen Pizza in the Microwave??

Selah · RV-Dreams Family Member

First a convection oven is just like a regular oven except it circulates the hot air around the inside to do the baking. So don't put cardboard in a convection oven unless recommended on the instructions. Next, what ever your baking should be on one of the raised racks sitting on the turn table. For pizza you will need to find a pizza pan small enough to fit on the rack and turn without hitting the sides.
We reduce our bake time slightly.

I've never made frozen pizza in the convection oven, but I've done homemade pizza with no problem. What temp are you using? I usually bake my pizza at 375 degrees but a frozen one would probably call for a higher temp. I have a round pizza pan that is a smaller size and fits in the microwave. And like Paul and Kathy said, I wouldn't put cardboard in the convection oven.

we do pizza (and popcorn), as well as make Toast! in our micro/convection.

For toast, we set preheat oven to about 350, and put the toast on a cookie sheet ON the Lower Rack setting before it heats up. Then cook for about 10-14 minutes after it's heatedbb

For Pizza I'd do the same, but this time (and we reheat often) use the pre-heat feature, and DONT put in pizza until the preheat is at correct temperature.

and fyi, the GE combo I have also has an auto-cook feature, that will magically cook meat, potatoes, and other stuff.

example, put in 4-32 ounces of potato, (say 1-4) and it will figure out how long to cook for

Now we're talking! As a chef I can tell you that a convection oven is best for cooking pizza. I cannot testify to heating a frozen pizza. I make them from scratch and what is most important is what you put the pizza on in the oven. Preheat to 400 degrees and then place the pizza in the middle of the oven on a metal pizza pan that has aeration holes throughout for 15 minutes and check crispiness of the crust edges. you may need another 3-5 minutes tops until done. The up side to convection is that you don't have to rotate your pizza pan every 5 minutes of cooking. Now, if someone could develop this topic into what type of pizzas you make and if you make your own sauce, how you do that, that would be interesting. Pass me a glass of wine!

Best pizza I ever made was in my S&B, before downsizing, we would take the breadmaker out, set it up to make the dough and be ready before 7am (work) next day.

Move dough to the cast iron deep dish pizza skillet, let it rise all day

nighttime: punch down, put in fresh sauce (see below), and add veggies, veggies, and cheese..

close and cook..

Immmmm... that was good, and i miss it

my sauce: lazy man's way: can of tomato paste, water, LOTS of garlic, onions, dill, basil.

HINT: If you can still smell, it's not enough garlic!!!

I think the Breville convection oven works the best.....

You are so right about the garlic! Sounds like a great quick sauce. Now I want pizza!

My wife wants to buy a microwave for our brand new RV. I know there are many companies in the market which sell microwave, but I want to buy the efficient and reasonable one. Which company microwave I should go for. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hey DoyleDrayton,

Please start a new topic and re-ask the question. It's off-topic in this thread and the thread is old so I'm closing it. Sorry, just trying to keep things on-topic and close old threads. Thanks for your understanding.
