Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

I've got to agree, rhe number of average pizzas that I have somehow made exceptional by reheating like this is all of them. I also agree with upping the heat a notch and using more water, the stated amounts and times never worked for me.

As always, it comes down to “what does medium-low” mean. Stove temperatures are very very far from standardized. One stove/burner’s low will produce the same power as another stover/burner’s medium-high. On my gas range, on the burner I would use for this, I’d be running it near the lowest setting for this. On my mom’s gas range, I’d be running it around “medium”.

I love to cook and have done so daily for a long time (I’m an old fart). Something I’ve learned is that stove temps and stove cooking times in recipes are little more than rough guidance. An experienced cook can take that info and interpret it for their setup, as well as judge doneness and temperatures by things other than time. But this leaves a really challenging gap for novice cooks, who can follow a recipe precisely and end up with burned or undercooked food.

Also the drawing says medium low but shows medium high, unless their knobs are backwards from all the knobs I've seen.
