i've always done totino's at 425 for 11-12 minutes and they have turned out good

 

[FettsBabe]

6-8 minutes. use a pizza stone. they rock, just don't preheat. and for christ sake..please don't use soap on the stone....just water.

 

[mugs]

I never use a timer when cooking pizza (or most things for that matter). You can tell when pizza is done by looking at it. When the cheese is lightly browned, take it out.

I've got the box in front of me:

1, Heat oven to 450

2. Place pizza on middle of rack

3. Bake pizza, pizza is done when cheese in center is melted.


Crust Crispier Softer Crust


Oven Rack Directly on Rack Cookie Sheet
position


Bake time 12-13 minutes 15-16 minutes


That's what the box said, now that being said I normally use 10 minutes on a pizza pan with holes in it since 12-13 always burned the edges on mine.

Also, these can be found at all the local walmarts near me. Hopefully that helps you. Good luck!

OP, just some etiquette, it's appropriate to share with ATOT members who gave you the information you requested.

How many did you buy again?

 

[thehstrybean]

Preheat to 450 F
Cook on a sheet for a crispier crust, on the rack itself for a softer one
9-13 minutes, or until the cheese melts

I ate these things for a month on a dig because they filled me up and @ 10/$10, not a bad price...Great pizzas, too...

This is part of being a dude.

Fixed.

The best pizzerias that make fresh pizza typically use ovens that are much hotter than that - 700 degrees or more is not uncommon.

Aww, lol. There's love for you too pyonir; just give in to the power of Totino's. :evil:

Apparently the box DOES say 450*F....so I was right in my original post, but I guess even Totino's isn't aware of the men's universal pizza cooking temperature.

jadinolf, I bought 10 boxes. I started early this morning, ~130AM, and 3 are gone as of now. :shocked: Maybe I should start sharing or go work out.

I tried cooking one in a toaster oven a couple hours ago. Definitely does not taste as well; I'll be sticking to the real oven from now on. Lesson learned.

Its odd, I felt this same thing...I ha a giant toaster oven in college that I used out of ease, but it definitely was not as good as using a pizza pan and a proper oven.

I wonder what the hell is going on in our toaster ovens.

 

[oiprocs]

Indeed. They just don't provide that same taste; maybe it's the metal heating coils? Is that the right term?

Let's hope pyonir doesn't see that we agree on something else and incur more internal anger.

 

[RU482]

I remember when I was a kid (~20 yrs ago) my mom would stock up on Totinos when the would go on sale for 88 cents each.
I noticed my local grocery store has them for 99 cents each...WOW

 

[Ricemarine]

10/$10 man, you can't go wrong!!!!! I cook at 450, although my parents disagree and lower the temperature to 350.

 

[HombrePequeno]

I bought a bunch of those a couple summers ago for $1 each. I think I finished three of them (not at once) before I got completely sick of them and threw the other ones out.

Man I wish my current grocery store had this. I havent seen this deal since I lived in Chicago.

[ballmode]

Those are the best pizzas you can buy for the money in the grocery store

FOR SURE!

 

[oiprocs]

Yeah, I'm still getting them for a $1 each RollWave. Sucks that you don't get the same; I'd think twice about buying 10 boxes if they weren't $1 each.

They don't take long, go with smoochy's time. Just check on it every little bit.

Or go dumpster dive and find one of the boxes dummy.

I believe it is 10-11 minutes...but you need to do a thorough check if you are cooking it directly on the oven shelf as the bottom will burn before the top looks crispy. I go about 9 minutes and take a gander at the bottom.

They are SOOOO damn tasty.

Totino's can only technically be called "pizza."

You must not be cooking your Freschetta pizzas properly. They blow away everything else you listed.

They're okay. But I can understand pontifex's statement. Red Baron's have good sauce. I believe its a bit spicier than the others. Maybe he's into it. I wonder if he uses crushed red pepper on his pizza.

 

[Linflas]

If it's got to be frozen pizza then I like these. They sell them at Costco here.

The cheese on most of those are nasty, though. The true test is to look at the cheese after the pizza has sat out for a couple hours. On Freschetta and DiGiorno, it still looks like cheese.
Not the case with Tony's, Red Baron, etc (though I've never tried a Schwann's).
