See you're supposed to sous vide it at 165 then sear it.

    That's 420° Celsius, right? For that delicious charcoal effect

    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.

    Weed references aside, pizzerias cook their pizzas at anywhere from 500-1000°F depending on the place and type of pie, so given that most home ovens max out at about 500-550, don't be afraid to crank it to the max (just don't forget to reduce the cooking time to compensate). The texture of the crust ends up being more like a pizza place's crust when you use more heat.

    It's probably on the plastic wrap inside. I don't know why they do this, but I've seen it happen more and more often. I like having it on the plastic, but I don't love the fact that they take it off the box.

    200°c / 180°c fan

    That's the cooking temperature for like 90% of things

    Wonderful day! Though, I am not into this kind of meal, or the vendor/brand even seeing it the first time, since I am mostly around Europe and Asia, but once I noticed your share, I tried searching about it, and found the following:

    - Then we opened the box and found the sticker. I’m assuming they produced the boxes with the misprint and then create the sticker after to fix their mistake?
    - Maybe it's because people like to throw out the box to save freezer space?

    It seems like the sticker shows 400F (~205C).

    Of course, lovely Bon Appétit! ✨

    Not misprint. Now they can use the same box regardless if the country uses C or F for temperature.

    At the cost of having a machine that applies stickers to every box, as well as keeping inventory of stickers for C and F.

    I don’t think that would save money vs a properly designed supply chain and manufacturing process.

    400-425F or 200C is pretty much universally the temperature, but yeah.....somebody done goofed.

    That’s the Aldi difference…

    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.

    Look, Aldi has to cut corners to keep prices low. I bet removing that line from the instructions saved... something!

    It's on the inner wrapper for some reason

    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?

    Max temp until it’s done.

    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

    It says 320 calories.

    1 calorie of heat energy is equivalent to raising the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius, so 1 cal = 1 °C temperature change for 1 gram of water.

    So how many grams of water are in the pizza?

  • source

  • [–] 6 points 4 months ago (2 children)
  • [–] 21 points 4 months ago* (1 child)

    Right. So 320 calories x 12 grams = 3840°C

    3840°C = 6944°F

    145°F is the “minimum internal temperature.”

    6944°F - 145°F = 6799°F (the Aldi difference)

    6799°F for 20-23 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown.

    It’s all right there on the box, man.

    Around here, if there's no posted speed limit, the limit is 50. So try 50?

    Dont know what that is in Celcius off the top of my head, BUT if its a wood fired Napolitano style pizza they may be fine at that temp. 800-900°F for like 2-3 minutes is 🤌

    I would be rather surprised to find an oven going to 400*C though, thats quite hot lol

    I'd say ovens here in EU usually go to 200-250 degrees.

    A self-cleaning can go as high as 500°C during pyrolysis.

    Yea, but they usually lock the hatch during the cycle and I don’t think any pizza needs 500’C for a couple of hours 😅

    This will get you stoned to death in Italy.

    Neapolitan style pizza, not that greasy NY shit requires an overn at 800-900F, close to 500C for 90 seconds.

    What oven only goes to 200C? I live in Canada (where we use C for everything except cooking, which we use F for) and pretty much everything I cook in the oven is at 218C or above. 200C isn’t even hot enough to bake frozen French fries properly without drying them out.

    Most common oven temperatures:

    325°F/160°C, 350°F/175°C, 375°F/190°C, 400°F/205°C, 425°F/220°C

    So functional range of temps for most baking is 160-220°C with 175°C being the most common for most standard dinner recipes. Every non-commercial oven I’ve ever used defaults to 350/175 unless you set it otherwise, and I’ve used a lot of ovens. Commercial ovens are a bit different, most don’t have a default or if they do they have memory built in to default to your last temp used, but in my experience the most common temp for commercial baking is more often 375/190.

    Though obviously individual recipes vary, that’s just averages across the many recipes I’ve made in both home kitchens and commercial kitchens. I’ve used 425/220 many, many times, as have I used 325/160 many, many times. I’ve also used outside that range but it’s far rarer. That’s mostly for specialized techniques or a very specific ingredient, or slow cooking and broiling obviously.

    My oven goes to 500F/260C. The previous one I had went to 550F/288C, but it didn’t have convection (unlike my current one).

    I actually use 500/260 on my oven quite frequently, using the “convection roast” feature. It’s excellent for roasting veggies and reheating pizza!

    I only really use 500 for broiling or burning the tips of veggies. It’s really useful for making homemade soups, but I only do it for the last few minutes of the roasting process. I’ve never tried it with pizza, I’ll have to give it a go.

    Cheap ones and airfryers. Normal cooking temperatures are 170-200, I only go above that for pizzas. No idea what you do with 218, I would only expect burnt ousides and gooey uncooked insides.

    My small pizza oven goes to 400C. Everything else is not enough for good pizza. Cooking time for a pizza is 2 to 3 minutes. With that I'll get a nice leopard pattern on the dough.

    My household oven goes up to 300C but just because it supports pyrolysis. (Best thing, I bought it used from Kleinanzeigen for Eur 50 after about a year of searching for a pyrolysis oven that was sold for cheap). Running Pyrolysis about 4 times a year, so the cost is reasonable but the oven still is CLEAN.

    It’s a good thing you only spent 50 euros on your pyrolysis oven. I used to use that feature on my old oven until it was destroyed by it.

    I believe the excessive heat from the cleaning cycle rapidly accelerates the ageing of the electronic components on the oven’s main circuit board. Electrolytic capacitors in particular are susceptible to failure from heat exposure.

    My wife from Mexico once decided she’d make a cake (here in Los Angeles). After several hours she couldn’t figure out why nothing was cooking. It turned out, she was cooking at ~200°F if I remember correctly.

    What’s the reason? Doesn’t sound like a good one.

    Some of the best chefs around don’t use recipes at all.

    Just got to check if it needs a baking tray or not.

    You can normally tell by sight if it's raw dough or if the base has already been baked, but opening your oven to find your pizza doing an impression of the terminator from T2 down through your wire shelf is a sad experience.

    I don't know about elsewhere, but in the UK they're normally a bit more expensive and marketed as "takeaway style". They're generally superior, but they need a stone or tray, a hotter oven, and more time to cook.

    That's the cool part, this pizza actually sets the temperature for you so you don't have to.

    Yall saying throw this in at max temp, if its going straight from the freezer and has heavy toppings this is not going to turn out well.
