Will a Freschetta frozen pizza cook in the microwave?
More importantly, will it be edible?

The oven just broke tonight.:cry:

1. Are there microwave instructions on the box?
If not, it probably won't work, but you can give it a try. What have you got to lose?

2. No, but do you have a grill?
Freschettas are GREAT on the grill, especially souped up with some fresh veggies and grated parmesan cheese. YUM.

A microwave will make it gummy.

5. No. Tried it and it was Awful!! Use your gas grill if you've got one
and cook it on one side with the flames on the other. I've done this and it's awesome. Better than the oven even.

Good luck!

6. Save the pizza for when your ovens working
and just order take out. Even if you can cook it in the microwave, most pizza cooked that way doesn't turn out very good. It's better in the oven. So support some local small business.

9. The only grille I have tonight is a Foreman grille
(it's raining outside)

That wouldn't work though I don't think.

12. Can'tt speak to the microwave thing, but I'm pretty sure that it is
considered a fresh vegetable,

Topped with some more fresh vegetables like maybe some Ore-Ida French Fries and some ketchup, maybe a little relish ...

mmm mmmm!

Delicious AND nutritious !

:shrug:

15. The toaster oven...
even if you have to cut it up to fit.

I do the smaller pizzas in the taoster oven all the time, and they come out great.

Nuking it will heat it up, but it won't be crispy.

18. Wrap it in tinfoil and blasting caps
...no, kidding of course. Do what TreasonousBastard said, even if you have to cut it up. You could even put individual toast-sized pieces wrapped in tinfoil in a slot-loading toaster if you have to. The microwave will really ruin your night, I promise.

Not bad at all. Everything got cooked -- I think.:scared:


The crust is really hard though.
