February 27, 20179 yr Have you ever noticed that pretty much all frozen pizza manufacturers recommend you cook their pizzas directly on the oven rack, with no pan? In what world is it a good idea to have cheese and sauce melting down on your oven burners? Does anybody actually do this silly thing? My theory: Frozen pizza producers are in a cabal with oven manufacturers to try and ruin your ovens as quickly as possible so that the life of your oven is very, very short. My guess is there's some symbiotic money being exchanged on this one.
February 27, 20179 yr We hardly ever have frozen pizza, but if I do I definitely put it straight on the rack. Only way to get a solid crispy edge on the crust.

Good thing you don't do frozen pizza often. No way I would do that. And you can get the edges crispy in a pan. Just adjust the heat lower and leave it in a bit longer than recommended.
February 27, 20179 yr Author Straight on the rack for us too...never have an issue with it. Do you swap out stoves much faster than you'd like? Cleaning up burnt-on cheese is no fun.

February 27, 20179 yr I've done this enough to know if it would be an issue. I've never once had cheese get on the inside of my stove from a frozen pizza.
February 27, 20179 yr I used to put it directly on the rack before we got a stone. I never had an issue.
February 27, 20179 yr We used to eat frozen pizza often but it has been several years since we had one. I will say the quality of frozen pizza has improved tremendously over the years. DiGiorno was our pizza of choice when we were still buying frozen pizza. I have never cooked one directly on the rack. For those that do, I am assuming there is a noticeable difference?
February 27, 20179 yr Author ^^^^ Jim's Oven! Not mine, but I've seen a lot of far less talented cooks pull a similar maneuver.
February 27, 20179 yr Author And the frozen pizza I cooked in a pan earlier came out perfect. Nice and crispy on the crust.
