That’s 420° Celsius, right? Fir that delicious charcoal effect
excral@feddit.org 2 months ago
Professional pizza ovens do reach temperatures do reach between 350°C and 500°C. So 420°C isn’t unreasonable for a pizza, your oven at home probably won’t get that hot though.
remon@ani.social 2 months ago
No, just 420°. But since pizzas have rotational symmetry you also use other funny angles, like 69°.
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I mean…my convection oven does either 410, or 425.
I cook everything at 425. So you’re not far off from what I do.
eager_eagle@lemmy.world 2 months ago
5min at 410 + 10min at 425, perfect avg
Psythik@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Weed references aside, pizzerias cook their pizzas at anywhere from 500-1000°F depending on the place and type of pie, so given that most home ovens max out at about 500-550, don’t be afraid to crank it to the max (just don’t forget to reduce the cooking time to compensate). The texture of the crust ends up being more like a pizza place’s crust when you use more heat.
ccunning@lemmy.world 2 months ago
That’s the Aldi difference…
ilinamorato@lemmy.world 2 months ago
It’s probably on the plastic wrap inside. I don’t know why they do this, but I’ve seen it happen more and more often. I like having it on the plastic, but I don’t love the fact that they take it off the box.
narp@feddit.org 2 months ago
Probably so you can discard the box and keep the pizza in the freezer only with the plastic… But yeah, no reason to not have it on both
YabbaDabbaDipshit@lemmy.world 2 months ago
425 for 15 minnies
expatriado@lemmy.world 2 months ago
half of Lemmy uses Celsius and are going to get crunchy pizza
YabbaDabbaDipshit@lemmy.world 2 months ago
if they choose to send it to hell thats on them
RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 2 months ago
You’re right. We need to use a more scientific scale of 885°Ra.
GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
I would be rather surprised to find an oven going to 400*C though, thats quite hot lol
I’d say ovens here in EU usually go to 200-250 degrees.
fork@feddit.online 2 months ago
The box shows 165° F for internal temp.
SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 2 months ago
Try gas mark 7.
daggermoon@piefed.world 2 months ago
I thought it was more than half. Crunchy pizza is not ideal.
Damage@feddit.it 2 months ago
Yeah but it’s the half that doesn’t need their instruction manual to tell them to not dry their cat in the microwave, I think it’s ok
undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 2 months ago
My wife from Mexico once decided she’d make a cake (here in Los Angeles). After several hours she couldn’t figure out why nothing was cooking. It turned out, she was cooking at ~200°F if I remember correctly.
Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
180° in teal temperature
Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
491.48 Kelvin of course
nutbutter@discuss.tchncs.de 2 months ago
My oven doesn’t go beyond 180
possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
Have you considered turning off and then back on?
SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
gwl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
200°c / 180°c fan
That’s the cooking temperature for like 90% of things
ayyy@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
For pizza you could probably get away with another 20° higher and it will be more crispy.
MrsDoyle@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
And then crank it up to 220° fan when it’s taking too long.
gwl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
As is traditional, yes
cRazi_man@europe.pub 2 months ago
In the UK that’s pretty much all food and should go without saying. Also knows what it’s doing.
artwork@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Wonderful day! Though, I am not into this kind of meal, or the vendor/brand even, mostly residing/traveling around Europe and Asia, but once I noticed your share, I tried searching about it, and found the following:
- Then we opened the box and found the sticker. I’m assuming they produced the boxes with the misprint and then create the sticker after to fix their mistake?
- Maybe it’s because people like to throw out the box to save freezer space?Source: redd.it/1trlw03
TachyonTele_Esq@piefed.social 2 months ago
I love your enthusiasm
Maestro@fedia.io 2 months ago
Not misprint. Now they can use the same box regardless if the country uses C or F for temperature.
chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 2 months ago
At the cost of having a machine that applies stickers to every box, as well as keeping inventory of stickers for C and F.
I don’t think that would save money vs a properly designed supply chain and manufacturing process.
chronicledmonocle@lemmy.world 2 months ago
400-425F or 200C is pretty much universally the temperature, but yeah…somebody done goofed.
brown567@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
The best thing about Fahrenheit is that a bunch of frozen foods can be cooked at 420°
pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
Indoors I usually have at 73
brown567@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Mine’s actually at 71, but I keep it 69 during winter =)
Slovene85@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
That’s obtuse
Psythik@lemmy.world 2 months ago
It’s pizza. The hotter the oven, the better.
zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
Look, Aldi has to cut corners to keep prices low. I bet removing that line from the instructions saved… something!
Corporal_Punishment@feddit.uk 2 months ago
Pizza - always 12-15 minutes at 180c.
blackbeans@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
You can usually go up to 220 ⁰C. It reduces the time to bake and that makes the pizza crust crispier and the topping less dried out.
MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
Yeah, 200°C is only cooking it.
ILikeTraaaains@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Some pizzas say 200°C for same amount of time.
Same manufacturer, same style of pizza but different content (4 cheeses vs pepperoni)
starlinguk@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Nope. I’ve seen ones that require 6 minutes at 240.
onnekas@sopuli.xyz 2 months ago
You might get a better result with 6min/240 but the same Pizza should be fine as well at 180 for a bit longer.
needanke@feddit.org 2 months ago
180 is too cold :o
Brkdncr@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Max temp until it’s done.
RBWells@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I mean, it says the temperature it has to reach. So hotter will get it there faster. I don’t generally buy frozen pizzas but when I do it’s for a party so inevitably I end up with a bunch of boxes that say to cook at different temperatures. I heat the oven to 425, put them all in and remove as they finish (I have 2 ovens and 5 oven racks)
I do agree they should advise a temperature, you are right. But maybe more people are like me and disregard it?
socsa@piefed.social 2 months ago
It’s on the inner wrapper for some reason
daggermoon@piefed.world 2 months ago
I just toss the bitch in. When it’s slightly brown it’s done. Y’all actually read the instructions?
FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 2 months ago
There’s a reason school teachers are now doing that exercise where they have kids list instructions on how to make a pb&j, and then following them exactly.
chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 2 months ago
What’s the reason? Doesn’t sound like a good one.
Some of the best chefs around don’t use recipes at all.
RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Spread peanut butter on one slice, spread peanut butter on second slice, put a little jelly on one, press together, cut in half diagonally ( required)
OwOarchist@pawb.social 2 months ago
Making a PB&J:
1: Give $200 to OwOarchist
2: Give OwOarchist a 100% grade on every assignment for the year.
3: Make a PB&J sandwich
Alright, teach. You said you’d follow the instructions exactly.
egrets@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Just got to check if it needs a baking tray or not.
You can normally tell by sight if it’s raw dough or if the base has already been baked, but opening your oven to find your pizza doing an impression of the terminator from T2 down through your wire shelf is a sad experience.
daggermoon@piefed.world 2 months ago
I’ve never seen a frozen pizza with raw dough. Is this a Europe thing or have I just been living under a rock?
terranoid@lemmy.cafe 2 months ago
Think about how it’s more important they put the instruction “remove from box before baking”
possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
How is it suppost to cook if you don’t turn on the oven?
I’m loosing faith in humanity day by day
Okokimup@lemmy.world 2 months ago
They didn’t say until hot, they said until it turns brown. May take a few days.
daggermoon@piefed.world 2 months ago
Funny.
breakfastmtn@piefed.ca 2 months ago
Around here, if there’s no posted speed limit, the limit is 50. So try 50?
OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 2 months ago
It says 320 calories.
1 calorie of heat energy is equivalent to raising the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius, so 1 cal = 1 °C temperature change for 1 gram of water.
So how many grams of water are in the pizza?
possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
12?
OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Right. So 320 calories x 12 grams = 3840°C
3840°C = 6944°F
145°F is the “minimum internal temperature.”
6944°F - 145°F (the Aldi difference) = 6799°F.
6799°F for 18-20 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown.
chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Nutritional calories are kilocalories, so you’ll need to multiply by 1000.
wolfpack86@lemmy.world 2 months ago
“…as ovens do vary.”
So the box was written by someone who barely passed highschool
VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Or it could be LLM slop.
raynethackery@lemmy.world 2 months ago
400 degrees Fahrenheit
Zephyr@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
That’s the cool part, this pizza actually sets the temperature for you so you don’t have to.
PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Fucking AI pizzas.
FellowEnt@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Yall saying throw this in at max temp, if its going straight from the freezer and has heavy toppings this is not going to turn out well.
terraquad@feddit.org 2 months ago
The fact that they included the 1st step but forgot the temparature…
TechieDamien@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
Ignore those instructions. Instead put the oven on as hot as it goes, and keep an eye on it because it will be done in a few minutes. Even better if you have a pizza oven that can go even hotter.
chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Works great with a thin crust pizza. Not so great for a thick one, especially with lots of toppings.
HubertManne@piefed.social 2 months ago
I used to see a bunch of diff temps between 375F and 425F but it seems like they all got together and settled on 400F.
Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 months ago

dalekcaan@feddit.nl 2 months ago
Weird, never seen that on an Aldi pizza before. The ones I’ve had all had pretty clear time and temperature.
rockSlayer@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
It’s an Aldi pizza, 425 for 20 minutes
Dearth@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Is this your first frozen pizza?
Treczoks@lemmy.world 2 months ago
It tells you the minimum core temperature that needs to be reached. What more do you need? And given how f-ed up some ovens are, this is the best and safest solution.
TowardsTheFuture@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
See you’re supposed to sous vide it at 165 then sear it.
