And now that you are in the comfort of your home, you have to prepare dinner.

The pizza tastes better and you pay less
When you buy a frozen pizza, the instructions speak clearly. “Put the pizza in a preheated oven for 15 minutes at a temperature…” But following these instructions often results in a soggy crust or an unsatisfactory flavor that isn’t as strong as you’d like.
But this can be solved very easily. When it comes to a crispier crust, the most important factor is temperature. The higher the temperature, the crispier the crust. This does not mean that you should burn out the oven. Try making pizza in a pan instead.
The sight of a frozen pizza in a pan may be a bit bizarre, but believe it or not, the pizza will taste much better out of the pan. It is ideal to use a cast iron pan for baking pizza, as it can retain heat well.
Although it will take a little longer to reach the desired temperature, once the pan reaches the desired temperature, it will hold it much better. As a result, you will achieve even baking. The crust will be crispy, the cheese will be beautifully spread and the topping will be exactly as it should be. This will avoid the disappointment of a rather bland taste when you bake a pizza in the oven.
Why bake a frozen pizza in a pan
If you start baking pizza in a cast iron pan, you need to preheat it really well. It is also a good idea to thaw the pizza before putting it on the pan and not toss it straight from the freezer onto the pan. This will speed up the baking time in the pan quite a bit.
When baking pizza in a pan, you not only get a better taste, but also save on electricity. You don’t need to preheat the oven at all. And the taste of pizza from the pan and from the oven is indistinguishable. Try it next time too, enjoy!
