Totino's Pizza

[oiprocs]

Haven't had this in a while, since I could not find a store that carried it. Now that I have, I stocked up on 10, but to make it fit in the freezer, I took them out of the boxes. Unfortunately, my memory isn't sharp enough to recall the cooking time. I know I should preheat it to 450*F (I think), and place it directly on the rack for a crispier crust, but is anyone up to speed on the cooking time?

Don't let me starve ATOT.

 

[SmoochyTX]

I think it's 10-12 minutes.

 

[OverVolt]

I would guess 9-13 minutes. It's not all that big of a deal, just keep checking on the first one, until the center is hot.

 

[Conky]

Universal pizza cooking temp is 425F.

This is part of being a dude.

 

[RollWave]

I LOVE TOTINOS...they're so bad for you though.

 

[S Freud]

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.

Damn, I'm failing. They need one of those Man Law commercials about the standard pizza cooking time. I'd never forget an exchange like this:

Triple H: "Pizza cooking temperature is 425*F, no questions about it!!!"
Burt Reynolds: "Yeah, but these days, they've got these 'low fat' and 'low calorie' nonsense pizzas with different temperatures."
Eddie Griffin: "What the fvck? Low fat? I ain't havin' no low fat pizza! This is bullsh*t!"
Triple H: "Then it's settled. No low fat pizza."
All: "Man Law!"

Yes they are. But I would have to go with Conky on this one. It IS part of being a dude.

I remember that one summer I got lazy and for a couple weeks ate one for dinner each night. Gained something like 10 or 15 pounds haha. Was a good time

I used to eat them all the time when I was a kid. That was in Colorado though; it seems like when I came to California not only was it hard to find it, but it tasted differently. Worse, but still good.

Now that I found it again, after a 3 year layoff, hopefully I'll slip back into bliss.

I hope so!


Just out of curiousity, how well done do you cook yours? I always wait until its a bit brown on top. I love the crunch of that crust and cheese mixed with the saucy middle.

 

[oiprocs]

I let it cook until the outer edge starts to bubble, so it is still juicy in the middle but I get a nice crunchiness at the end. If I had a top 10 invention list, I'd give it some serious consideration.

 

[AlgaeEater]

10 minutes is perfect if you're using a toaster oven at 400 on "Toast" setting. If you use "bake", might be 11-13.

I actually like mine just about done, with the crust crispy and the cheese still gooey. Susauage is my favorite flavor next to combination. Never liked Pepperoni, and Cheese is kinda boring for a Totino.

 

[oiprocs]

Hamburger and Cheese FTW!

 

[RollWave]

Cheese reigns king of Totino's as far as I'm concerned.

 

[oiprocs]

You're quickly becoming a favorite fellow ATOT'r RollWave.

 

[Ramma2]

Totino's Party Pizzas?

450 degrees, 8 minutes.

 

[MikeyIs4Dcats]

Tony's are better!

 

[pontifex]

not sure if i ever had Totino's. I've had Tony's, Red Baron, Freshetta, Schwann's (or swanns or whatever that home delivery service is) and Digiorno. I think Red Baron is the best, followed by Schwann's.

Red Baron used to be the bomb, but they changed sauce or something a couple of years ago....too much oregano or something now

 

[FoBoT]

the small ones, 7-8 minutes, the larger ones about 10

good luck

 

[oiprocs]

Yeah it was about 10 minutes. Although, I'm not really sure if I enjoyed the crispier crust. It was good, but I think the next one I'll cook on foil and get that softer texture.

 

[SmoochyTX]

Crispy crust on Totino's pizzas are the best!

 

[KillerCharlie]

I don't understand how anyone can eat those nasty things. They use FAKE CHEESE and they're loaded with trans fat.

 

[TecHNooB]

I usually throw my frozen pizzas in the microwave, then broil them for a few minutes. Won't work with larger pizzas though.

 

[spanner]

12 mins at 450F (pre-heated). I used to eat like 5 a week one year in college (sausage FTW). I lost 10 pounds that year (go figure). Seriously though, they are loaded with transfat.
