pizza: I was going to cook a frozen pizza, but it said to put it directly on the oven rack. Am I actually supposed to put the pizza in without a pan? It seems a little absurd to me. If so, how do you get the pizza off of the rack? Thanks!|||If you like CRISPY crust you can put it directly on the oven rack. Place a piece of foil on the second rack below the one you put the pizza on to catch melted cheese that drips off. Remove the pizza with a spatula, slide it onto a pan when it's finished cooking. If you don't prefer a crisper crust, you can cook the pizza on a cookie sheet. Both ways are fine. I have a pizza pan that's full of tiny holes to make the crust crispy without placing it directly on the rack. All these ways are fine. Enjoy your pizza.|||I do it all the time but you need to put something in the bottom of the oven to prevent drips. You will get it by putting a spatula under it and pulling it out.|||ahha, you probably shouldn't do that. the cheese will melt everywhere and it'll be hard to get it out. i'd use a pan.|||with a spatchula or oven mit's.|||Yes, you can put it on the oven rack, it will be fine.|||You can do that. But usually you should use a pan, or a pizza brick. The pizza brick you can always leave in the oven. It sits directly on the oven rack, and you just slide the pizza off when it's done. It definitely prevents the drips in the bottom of the oven!|||Yes, you actually do. It makes for a crispier crust. You should have a long handled metal spatula on hand to guide it out after it's done cooking. You can slide it right on to a pizza pan.|||No, use a cookie sheet. My oven- I keep the cookie sheet in there all the time to catch drips. I just place one sheet of foil over it every time.|||you can do it, i honestly do it all the time, but from some tinkering i suggest you get your oven up to temperature first so it doesnt stick, and just get a plate/pan ready when your done and lift it with a spatula|||I do...I put a baking sheet on the lower rack. Then I use a spatula to get it out when its done.|||save the cardboard circle the pizza came on...to take it out of the oven|||If you like a softer pizza crust, use a pizza pan or cookie sheet or baking sheet or whatever for baking your frozen pizza. You bake frozen pizza on the oven rack if you like your crust crispy. Make sure you pre-heat your oven as directed and keep a close eye on the pizza, it'll burn easily on the rack. I use a long-handled spatula to help remove the pizza, and slide it onto a pizza pan. Because you want it crispy, don't let it set on the pan very long or the bottom of your pizza will get steamy and soften. I transfer the pizza from the pan onto a wooden cutting board for cutting into slices, then immediately onto warmed plates. When the oven cools, don't forget to wash the rack like you would any other bakeware.|||uh, I don't think you should put it on the oven rack. Use a cookie sheet
