180 for 15-20 mins

Hiphopopotamus · 14/02/2023 10:36

Put in a hot oven. Take out when cooked…

Itsvalentino · 14/02/2023 10:36

Actually if they're not frozen more like 10 - 15, just keep your eye on them

AnchorWHAT · 14/02/2023 10:36

10 - 15 mins in oven at gas 5 or 6

ironhelp · 14/02/2023 10:37

Thank you all. Except sarky 🤣

This surely 🤣🤣🤣

The instructions are on the back of the label when you take the plastic off.

BouncingWorms · 14/02/2023 10:37

Instructions on the back of the label normally

This. Probably about 10-12 minutes.

ArmWrestlingWithChasNDave · 14/02/2023 10:38

Stab several holes in packaging
Fold and place in microwave for 45 minutes
Let stand for 2 minutes
Liberally coat the crust with baby oil and place on a hot grill for 15 minutes to crisp up
Serve with jam

BreviloquentBastard · 14/02/2023 10:39

Christ this reminds me of being 14 and away from home for the first time ringing my mum asking how to boil an egg.

The instructions are on the back of the label. When in doubt 180-200 and keep an eye on until cheese is bubbling and crusts are crisp.

ironhelp · 14/02/2023 10:46

I know, simple to most people. Thanks for the help though

180 for 15-20 mins

If you want it cremated this is a good instruction

These are fresh pizzas with not a lot of cheese on so around 12 to 15 mins.

TightFistedWozerk · 14/02/2023 10:54

Now I want pizza for second breakfast.

Yep! I realised they’re fresh and added another comment.

OP I couldn't find the instructions the first time I bought an Asda pizza either!

It's on the back of the label, which is absolutely useless fir planning the meal!

FinanceLPlates · 14/02/2023 11:03

Remove all packaging
pre-heat oven to 180 (fan)
stick in oven
check on it after 10 mins, though it’ll probably need a bit longer
take out once the cheese looks properly melted

picklemewalnuts · 14/02/2023 11:04

Don't worry OP. Hope they are tasty.

My ex boyfriend used to cook following the label to the letter- but didn't preheat and his oven was very slow/cool.

He ate frozen lasagne because the label said it would be ready.

Often it really is as easy as 'put it in and take it out when it's ready'.

BarbaraofSeville · 14/02/2023 11:05

FrenchTrellis · 14/02/2023 10:37

This surely 🤣🤣🤣

Finally, some others who agree with me.

Cooking instructions invariably produce food that is underdone, or burnt, and ovens often vary in temperature. Plus for things like pizza, the exact time or temperature isn't really important and it really is a case of 'put it in the oven until it looks cooked, probably at around 200C for 10/12 mins'.

Or do people eat over/undercooked food because they stick to the instructions?

BarbaraofSeville · 14/02/2023 11:07

Cross posted with @picklemewalnuts and, while I was being only slightly sarcastic/facetious, I see that it is true that there are people who rely on the instructions over their own common sense.

ouch321 · 14/02/2023 11:07

The cheese will be turning golden when it is done. Peek through the oven door.

GiltEdges · 14/02/2023 11:10

Instructions on back of label.

milkmonitor20 · 14/02/2023 11:11

If they're the smaller ones, 8 mins at 180. If the bigger ones then 11 mins at 180
