Conduction

Which would be way faster if the water content
the
microwaves were
hitting was heated hotter.

But the difference in temp between the outside
and
the inside of the
food would be greater and this could result in
food
that was both over-
and under-cooked. This is why microwave ovens
have
low settings, so food
can cook slowly and evenly. Anyone who uses a
microwave a lot will be
well aware of this. For items where convection
can
assist conduction
higher power can be fine, but not for large solid
lumps of food.

I can't say many things I cook have large solid
lumps.
All ready meals are pretty much fluid, so convection and
conduction
can take place, and almost everything I cook is a dish of
something
which is only 2 inches deep.

I don't know what the low settings are for. All
the
instructions I've
seen - e.g. on ready meals - say "full power".
There
is the defrost
setting, but microwaves aren't very good at
defrosting as they don't
heat frozen water very well.

Mine thaws a frozen (already cooked) pizza extremely
well, on full power. It turns a -20C pizza into a +40C pizza in 4
minutes.

Only a moron would cook a pizza in a microwave.

No, anyone who wants it ready more quickly. I buy the
frozen pizza in the supermarket, place it in the microwave, then I
can eat it in 4 minutes.

Why would you think pizzas shouldn't go in microwaves?!
Every foodstuff can be cooked in a microwave.

Because some of us are more interested in good results
than
in speed.

When I want pizza, I make the crust from scratch, wait
for
it to rise,
shape it, top it, and bake it at 550 F.

And your stomach is happy to wait?!

Sure. I plan ahead, and the pizza is ready when my
stomach is.

When I see food, I get hungry, it's a natural instinct.
Therefore I cannot prepare food without consuming half the
ingredients during the cooking operation.

Like a child.

If I want something fast, I have scrambled eggs.

I always want something fast, therefore I cook EVERYTHING in
a
microwave. Even things that say you have to use an oven, I
ignore it
and use the microwave, funnily enough it tastes nice and is
edible.

You have an undeveloped palate. Ready meals taste "nice"
because
they
hit your evolutionary preferences for fat, salt, and sugar.
The
manufacturers do that deliberately so you won't notice how
truly
wretched the underlying taste is.

Cindy Hamilton

It's still mostly wretched compared to real cooked food that you
prepare
yourself. The idea that a pizza cooked in a microwave is
representative
of good pizza is absurd. The vast majority of the commercial
frozen pizzas
that I've seen do not say that they should be or can be cooked
in a
microwave.

They're ALREADY cooked, you're reheating them. A microwave is
perfectly capable of this. Even if you were actually cooking
them,
it's easy enough to change the power level accordingly. But
there's
no reason to reduce the maximum power available. When you just
want
to heat something rapidly, you need as much power as possible.

There are a few small pizzas designed for a microwave and they
have to play tricks, like have a piece of metalized cardboard to
try to
crisp up the bottom. It doesn't work well and the one I tried
was
also
among the crappiest pizzas for other reasons too.

Again, it's ALREADY cooked and crisped. If you were actually
cooking
it, you can turn the grill or oven function on on your microwave
simultaneously.

IDK what kind of crap you have over there, but here, in the USA,
frozen
pizza is not cooked. The crust is dough that needs to be baked,
the cheese needs to be melted, etc. I suspect, as usual from past
experience, you're full of **** and pizza in the UK is similar.
And
the vast majority of pizza COOKING instructions say to put it in a
regular oven, not a microwave. For obvious reasons.

No, it's pre-cooked, why would I buy a pre-made pizza and still
have to
do the work myself? If I wanted a home made pizza, I'd start from
scratch.

No wonder you don't have a job. The cooking instructions in your link
are to oven cook from frozen. None are given for a microwave. You are
utterly brainless.

No, an utterly brainless person would think "I can't microwave that".
The pizza is ALREADY COOKED. All I do is warm it up to the desired
eating temperature.

Only an utterly brainless person who has never cooked pizza before
would
say that.

How old are? Can you read cooking instructions?

What part of "ALREADY COOKED" didn't you understand?

The link you gave does not say already cooked. Are you illiterate?

It would seem you are. The first line, the nutrition part, says "Each
(ovenbaked) 1/2 pizza contains". Look at the word in brackets.
OVENBAKED. That means it's ALREADY BAKED.

It actually means that that's the nutritional breakdown
AFTER it has been oven baked by the purchaser.

Well I eat them a few times a week, and they're certainly cooked after microwaving. Anything can go in a microwave, don't believe the **** on the label.
