      @Celestalon I'm quite surprised at these results...

        @RealJoshHoward Eh, it's pretty close to what I expected. (My guess would have been 40/10/50)

      @Celestalon Definitely never c, but I wonder if that’s valid. I’ve always viewed it as putting a steak on the pan as it heats rather than when it’s burning hot, which degrades the quality of the steak. Probably not true for frozen foods?

      @Celestalon D. 10 minutes on the middle rack like the instructions state. Then 3-4 minutes on the oven stone I’m sure you have in the bottom rack. https://t.co/oN86bIoitN

        @MouseDivided E. 15 min on the stone I have, actually.

      @Celestalon Turn on oven, throw in pizza immediately, set no timer, get it out when it smells and looks done.

      @Celestalon D. The same steps as A, but the timer went off while I was in the middle of a game so I shut it off and then forgot about it and now my pizza is burnt and the smoke is taking over the room. 😭

        @hsdecktech @Celestalon But did you win the game?

          @themattlondon @Celestalon Sure, like 60% of the time.

      @Celestalon Huh, C never occurred to me. But I kinda like it. Might try that.

        @JeffAHamilton @Celestalon The problem is that the speed with which an oven reaches temperature is unreliable. (Of course, so are most oven temp sensors...)

          @coil780 @JeffAHamilton I mean, it's pretty consistent for the same oven+temp. Preheat it once, time how long that takes, divide that by two, add that much time to the directed time on all future bakes. Not exactly the same, but pretty damn close, and way less effort.

            @Celestalon @JeffAHamilton You make a good point, but it's hard to put that on a box. 😁 There are also a few recipes that specifically want a well preheated oven - sourdough and (non-frozen) pizza come to mind.

              @coil780 @JeffAHamilton Yeah, I preheat for baking cookies or whatever. But I’m not going to put more effort into cooking a frozen pizza than was put into making the frozen frisbee in the first place.
