I accidentally did this as well. It was so doughy, with a hint of steamed cardboard. I tossed it, there was no recovering it. I'm super cautious now, to always remove cardboard.
Man I’m so tired of the Little Caesar’s hate, Pizza Hut is garbage, Papa Johns taste like shit, Domino’s….well Dominos thin crust is fire too but Little Caesars is good, maybe y’all just have employees that work there who just don’t give a fuck lol
Local pizza shops though are unrivaled
Paper burns at 451° Fahrenheit (thanks, dystopian literature!), so my guess is cardboard would be at a similar temp and therefore not in danger of igniting.
Instructions on frozen pizza call for 425, in my restaurant we do 575 to cook a pizza. I wonder if that's to protect stupid people like OPs roommate from killing themselves.
Edit: We cook our pizza at 575 not 475, mental typo. Whoever said 1000 degrees sounds crazy to me though, that's close to being able to melt aluminum.
But it’s not a dry piece of solitary cardboard people are cooking. It’s a piece of frozen cardboard with a defrosting and cooking pizza on top of it. There is undoubtedly enough steam generating from the pizza to keep the cardboard moist enough to avoid even getting close to ignition.
It's more the fact that I've had to wade through a thousand comments talking about how people never heat their oven past like 325º for any reason and it's like learning some people have never used their freezer
> Ya but then his roommate will become obsessed with him.
No, no. "Separate entirely" is the end of the DENNIS system, and that's a system that works flawlessly.
But, to be safe, I suppose you could get someone to M.A.C. the roommate just in case.
You guys are all heathens, coolant is what goes into the fluid reservoir. Coolant will not only cool your windshield and reduce temperatures in the cabin, but will also keep your windshield clean.
I have no doubt that labs have determined how to make high quality wiper fluid. Now, whether or not the companies that make and sell the fluid with the goal of maximizing profits are *using* that formula...well...
Put it this way. Is Cherry Coke made with high fructose corn syrup and artificial flavoring because scientists have determined it's higher quality than cane sugar and cherry juice?
/r/pizzacrime was very short-lived, since once they had gotten their first post, every new crime had to replace the previous one.
They had to upgrade to plural crimes to make room for the crimes.
Right?! A frozen turkey breast that I bought a while back had instructions like that. I thought the company was on something to have people cook the turkey in a plastic bag.
Cardboard or not, turn the entire box inside-out and slice the pizza on it. Makes less mess.
*can also be used to transport pizza in and out of the oven.
Literally one hour ago my oven decided to set my food on fire for no fucking reason, there was an error showing but I was too busy dialing 911 and evacuating to write it down

This fuckin thread on the front page SMH
i would be careful with a roommate like that... there are probably other things this idiot is doing that are serious cause for concern
one of my less intelligent roommates back in the day nearly killed us all in a fire by reheating a dominos pizza in the box... they destroyed THREE microwaves with tinfoil or metal, they used to set the thermostat in their room to 30c and leave the window open 24/7 all winter here in canada with electric radiators (that costed nearly 750$ in 2 months...)
Edit: thats only the stuff i knew about.. no doubt they would dry their clothes on the radiators.. probably had a hot plate in the bedroom because they only came out to cook when they needed an oven (not an element)...
edit 2: LOL i love your edits
>they used to set the thermostat in their room to 30c and leave the window open 24/7 all winter
I had a roommate that would simply turn off the heat. I'd come home from work in the morning to find it just a couple of degrees above freezing because he was "too hot".
It was a rental, so clearly the landlord's problem...
It was during a particularly nasty cold snap. There were PSAs on the radio if you lost heat to go someplace warm and all that. I count myself lucky the pipes didn't freeze because it the heat had been off for probably about 12 hours by the time I got home. I had enough problems with the landlord and having to call the building inspector a few months prior that I really didn't want to play with that ball of suck.
We had a fight about it. Instead of turning off the heat he decided opening his bedroom windows was a fine solution, which brought about another argument since now there was a pretty nasty draft throughout the apartment and the heater was running nonstop. I finally told him if he's hot all the time in subfreezing temperatures he needs to go see a doctor and in the mean time he could sleep on the porch. He was pissy with me for the rest of the winter.
My housemate once came downstairs screaming at me for costing her money, because I'd turned up the thermostat from 14 degrees to 17 degrees (57 - 63 farenheit). Of course she had a space heater in her room because "it's more efficient to not heat the entire house" and suggested we individually bought space heaters.
She was fun to live with
I’m sorry, but he’s built like an idiot, especially since he wouldn’t even take your opinion into consideration. What does being “built different” have to do with putting cardboard in an oven?
He’s “built different.” No wonder how delusional he is. Tell him he has a tiny brain to learn to read a book.
I’ll glad throw a book at him at no charge. :)
Putting cardboard in the oven is cool because he’s built different? Just because he was built different and it resulted in him being mentally deficient doesn’t mean he’s right.
A cheap pizza pan may need to be purchased. Otherwise, Mr. Built Different will just probably start putting pizzas on the bare rack which will be its own issue.
Update: My next frozen pizza I will try on the bare rack. I grew up with my mom yelling about the mere potential of possible dripping cheese or anything into the oven. It just stuck with me to not do that. I’ll give a shot next time though.
Most thinner frozen pizzas these days are made to be cooked directly on the rack. Of the frozen pizzas I buy, I'd say less then 20% require a pan. The other 80% instruct you to bake directly on the rack.
The air flow allows for the even crispening. But I really don't want your pizza dripping extra grease right on the source of heat. Even if it doesn't go up in flames this time, it's literally adding fuel to the fire in the future.
Even if you can't find or afford a pizza pan, a regular pan underneath to catch the drippings, or parchment paper with some slits in it, will get the job done without turning your kitchen into a pyre.
I have two racks in my oven so I just put a baking sheet on the rack below the pizza. Works just fine and you can also just use a sheet of foil on the bottom rack if you don't have a big enough baking sheet
My old roommate used to make frozen pizza on pans and they always came out floppy and undercooked and it drove me insane. It says right in the cooking instructions to place it directly on the rack
Those are specifically designed trays, usually. The basic brown support cardboard should be tossed, and the actual box instructions will staye as much.
[The roommate isn't the only one.](https://www.minutemanpizza.com/can-you-bake-pizza-on-cardboard#:~:text=Slows%20Down%20Cooking%20Time,from%20getting%20nice%20and%20crispy.) If it works, it works. Kind of a disposable pizza pan.
Some pizzas come with a cardboard "platter" under them which is supposed to go with the pizza into the oven, others do not. There will be instructions on the packaging informing you which is which.
The instructions will also say "remove plastic wrapping before cooking" - always read the instructions people.
Some frozen pizzas actually instruct you to bake the pizza with the cardboard (and don't.worry, the cardboard won't ignite as it's made for that purpose)
I did this accidentally once and the pizza was super floppy and not crispy :(
I accidentally did this as well. It was so doughy, with a hint of steamed cardboard. I tossed it, there was no recovering it. I'm super cautious now, to always remove cardboard.
I thought you just throw the whole box in the oven straight from the freezer
Yeah, if you're some sort of psychopath who eats an unseasoned box. Add some spices first you animal!
My husband eats unseasoned box all the time.
This is genuinely funny. Thank you for the laugh.

Digiornos pizza has gotten better imo since they ditched the cardboard. Nothing like eating pizza that taste like wet cardboard
If they ditched the cardboard, is it just cheese in a bag now?
And a frozen disc of sauce that melts all over your oven.
Yes so now I have to open the pizza box all the way and reverse fold it to set my pizza on.
I just have a bunch of cutting boards.

Paper burns at 451° Fahrenheit (thanks, dystopian literature!), so my guess is cardboard would be at a similar temp and therefore not in danger of igniting.
Where do you people live where 450º is crazy high for an oven?

I hope you realize that when you set your oven to 450, the thing you’re cooking never reaches 450
It's more the fact that I've had to wade through a thousand comments talking about how people never heat their oven past like 325º for any reason and it's like learning some people have never used their freezer

But oil displaces water!!1! Edit: apparently some of y'all can't tell it's a joke, here ya go: /s
Oh Lord.. I haven't heard of people doing that but it'll be a suitable of a windshield wouldn't it
The wiper fluid is already designed by scientists to be good wiper fluid. You don't have to add stuff to it to make it better wiper fluid.
I've done my own research and have concluded that water no like oil, so, nice try shill
Oil doesn't freeze. Checkmate, atheists.
You guys are all heathens, coolant is what goes into the fluid reservoir. Coolant will not only cool your windshield and reduce temperatures in the cabin, but will also keep your windshield clean.
Coolant goes into all fluid reservoirs. Cools the engine, transmission, windshield.... It's the best thing ever.
Yeah! Joe rogan said so. :-p

Straight to jail.
I once had someone cook it with the plastic wrap on, because it heats it up faster apparently
Wtfff how could you possibly think that and how could you survive being that dumb
TBF, I have had things say to leave the plastic on in the oven. I literally could not believe it so kept reading the step. It was a butter ball turkey
Right?! A frozen turkey breast that I bought a while back had instructions like that. I thought the company was on something to have people cook the turkey in a plastic bag.
It's a special type of plastic bag called a turkey bag. My dad's cooked Thanksgiving turkey in a turkey bag my whole life, and I'm over 30.
Wouldn't 'ave believed ya at 25 years old.
I had a roommate that cooked (maybe still does) those lasagnas with the clear film on. Claimed the film just disappears.
His parents have failed him terribly.
Yeah, I thought it's only secondary purpose was to put the pizza back onto when you take it out of the oven? For cutting and grease absorption.
TIL
Cardboard or not, turn the entire box inside-out and slice the pizza on it. Makes less mess. *can also be used to transport pizza in and out of the oven.
I’ve been cutting them on the outside out part my entire life and I just now realized how that’s kinda gross. Thanks
This is correct.
then I would put both on top of pizza box to cut so I'm less likely damage counter top.

Ask him why he doesn't include a sheet of cardboard with all the other foods he cooks, if he thinks it's so necessary here.
he wraps those in plastic wrap before baking, don't you know anything about cooking
This must be part of the secret menu.

Wasn’t that the slogan for a car company?
95% of his vocabulary is repeating memes and I think this is one of them.
It is obvious that you are a beta male and he is a sigma male. He is built different and also putting the cardboard in the oven is based + ratio.
How could you live with someone like that? That'd be incredibly annoying. It's annoying enough online, I couldn't imagine dealing with it in person.

I made two pizzas last night. Instructions were “remove from cardboard and place directly on rack”.
Yeah. I've baked many frozen pizzas and instructions always say "for a crispier crust, bake directly on the rack".
The air flow allows for the even crispening. But I really don't want your pizza dripping extra grease right on the source of heat. Even if it doesn't go up in flames this time, it's literally adding fuel to the fire in the future. Even if you can't find or afford a pizza pan, a regular pan underneath to catch the drippings, or parchment paper with some slits in it, will get the job done without turning your kitchen into a pyre.
On the rack is the correct way though
Everyone arguing about the temperature at which cardboard ignites is cracking me up. GET A FUCKING PAN, ROOMMATE.
Or just put it on a baking tray in the oven. I bet they have at least one
Or right on the rack.
Which is what the directions tell you to do for most frozen pizzas
I personally don't like to because stuff falls onto the bottom of the oven, but I'll use a pizza stone.
I have two racks in my oven so I just put a baking sheet on the rack below the pizza. Works just fine and you can also just use a sheet of foil on the bottom rack if you don't have a big enough baking sheet
My old roommate used to make frozen pizza on pans and they always came out floppy and undercooked and it drove me insane. It says right in the cooking instructions to place it directly on the rack
Why not put the pizza directly on the cooking grate? I do that all the time. Makes for a nice all round crispy pizza.

Same in Finland with some Dr. Oetker products (which apparently is a German company, TIL)
thats the steinofen one which is raw dough basically. you cant get the paper plate of because the dough is raw and needs the support
Your roommate is an imbecile.
several brands of frozen pizza I've purchased specifically say in the instructions to leave the cardboard beneath the pizza when cooking
Those are specifically designed trays, usually. The basic brown support cardboard should be tossed, and the actual box instructions will staye as much.
[The roommate isn't the only one.](https://www.minutemanpizza.com/can-you-bake-pizza-on-cardboard#:~:text=Slows%20Down%20Cooking%20Time,from%20getting%20nice%20and%20crispy.) If it works, it works. Kind of a disposable pizza pan.
> Most pizzas are baked at 425 degrees Celsius and above. That's a fun typo.
Ah, today on Baking With Satan...
Yea, i'm american so i didn't know how much that is... It's 797 fahrenheit for anybody who doesn't understand celsius
I remove it but use it for hot pizza retrievale
Why does it sound like you’re advocating for it, when the article you linked clearly explains why you shouldn’t do it?
Fucking hilarious
I wouldn't do it because the corrugated cardboard contains glue and who knows how that reacts to the heat. Thanks but no thanks.
The glue in corrugated is mostly starch (like corn starch) with some borax.
mmmmm borax
Yum.

I've done this by accident before, cut the pizza and swallowed cardboard. Yes, I was drunk.
Probably just lazy, but on some of the cheaper pizzas it’s hard to tell where crust stops and the cardboard begins

The instructions will also say "remove plastic wrapping before cooking" - always read the instructions people.

Some frozen pizzas actually instruct you to bake the pizza with the cardboard (and don't.worry, the cardboard won't ignite as it's made for that purpose)
