"George" wrote in message ... Is it OK to put large quantities of SPAM in a microwave? Good one. On the subject of microwaves, I recently learned what you *cannot* do in them. I was home alone and decided to raid the refrigerator. I found a big tub of pre-mixed chocolate chip cookie dough and decided a little snack would be nice. I didn't want to get involved with firing up the oven and finding cookie sheets, etc., so I put three tablespoonful globs of the stuff on a dish and stuck it in the microwave. I did a quick mental calculation .... meaning I did a wild-assed guess ... and programmed five minutes at 80 percent power. Pushed the start button and went off into another room to do something. After about three minutes my dog (Sam Adams) caught my attention by barking his head off in the kitchen. I came over to see what his problem was and there was smoke pouring out of the microwave rapidly filling the room. The stupid cookies had caught fire. Then the alarm system went off which automatically caused the fire and police department to call to see if our house was on fire. Lesson learned. Eisboch |

The trick is to do it on one of those big pizza reheating thingos that you zap for 10 mins before putting the pizza on it to reheat it. Works great. |

Pizza Hut is overpriced. I don't eat seafood, or BBQ. Pizza really isn't on my special diet, but I cheat about once a month. My favorite pizza was from any of the Cassano's pizzerias in SW Ohio, but I haven't been there since 1987. I grew up in the midwest, and the seafood and fish was trucked in. I just couldn't eat it, because it was so bad. BBQ makes me sick within a half hour of eating it, so I haven't touched it in over 30 years, even if it was a free meal. -- Service to my country?

It sounds like you are trying to fix a frozen pizza in a microwave. Nope. I used to do that, but it's just too icky. I'm talking about reheating the product from the common local pizza joint. Maybe there's a regional difference in locally-produced pizza product style? They have never been cooked, so they have too much moisture. I used to fix them on a "Black Angus" rotisserie oven by baking the crust on the top, then putting it into the oven to melt the cheese, and brown the toppings. These days, for my frozen pizzas, I use a toaster oven with gimmicky IR cooking elements which works surprisingly well and quickly. It's pretty well balanced, although it could stand to be hotter on the bottom element. I have been looking at one of those countertop pizza ovens, but I can't justify the cost. Like what? The Presto Pizzazz? I have one, it doesn't crisp the bottom at all. Whatever it says about heating the bottom through the pan is a lie. The aforementioned toaster oven that I like is a Panasonic "Infrared Toaster Oven" and IIRC is pictured on the box cooking a pizza. http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-NB-G.../dp/B000063UZV It's worth it's weight in high quality cheese, at the very least. I'll surely replace it with the same when it falls by the wayside. It's frozen pizza setting is perfect for a Tony's frozen pizza the way my wife likes it. I like my pizza cooked until before the cheese starts to bubble, when it's just liquified (but not browned and hardened much of anywhere) and the sauce is at least warm. The same oven is what I use for decent reheating of local pizza...but I'd still prefer 45 seconds in the microwave on a plate to 2 minutes in the toaster oven on a piece of foil, if I could get a decent result. |

"Mediocre" is the best rating I can give microwave-reheated pizza; but reheated a toaster oven, pizza from one particular local place is even better than fresh. My vote is the for toaster oven (though I don't agree it's better than fresh / original heating). I prefer to reheat on a pizza stone, but I'm not willing to wait for the stone to heat up, just for a slice or two. I can't believe any pizza out of a microwave is edible - unless perhaps Pizza Hut is your standard. |

Hi!
Is it OK to put large quantities of SPAM in a microwave? Yes, just be sure to take it out at some point, otherwise it will begin to smell like burning or turn rancid. I don't even want to imagine rancid spam--the real stuff (junk mail) is bad enough. Oh, and if you do--crank the power up to the "hotter than hell" setting, so that the spammers can get a good taste of where they are going. William |

Hi!
A microwave with a USB port would be great. Then you could feed the SPAM in directly. I think Firewire would be better. :-) weird sense of humorI once tried to stick a bunch of spam down a USB cable, but all I got for my efforts was "a device attached to the USB hub is drawing too much power". And when I put the microwave that close to the computer, it pretty much obliberated the Wi-Fi signal. Which I guess solved the problem, at least for a while./weird sense of humor William |

"Rick Onanian" wrote in message ... How else can you cook a pizza from frozen in 13 minutes? I have one and it works fine. You need to set it correctly for the style of pizza. Well, the toaster oven I described does it faster than 13 minutes. How do you set the Pizzazz to crisp the bottom of the pizza without vaporizing the top, or indeed to crisp the bottom at all? I find it works fine. For some pizzas, 5 to 8 minutes with heat on bottom only followed by both works well. Self rising pizzas are a bit slower but still come out fine if you follow the instructions. |
