BEST WAY TO REHEAT PIZZA FOR 'GOOEY TOP AND CRISPY BOTTOM' - WITH NO MICROWAVE

Microwaving yesterday's delicious takeaway pizza can often feel underwhelming - but one foodie says this hack will take your slices to new heights.

We're all guilty of thinking with our stomachs now and again, tempted by Deliveroo deals as we order banquets of far too much fast food. And while this may taste divine in the moment, leftovers never quite hit the same spot - with microwaved pizza often tasting like cardboard.

But TikTok chef, Dom Melier, claims that reheating slices in a frying pan actually makes a huge difference, stressing it's the 'only way' to get them just right. Posting to his page (@dommelier), he said: "Take your slice, get your big pan that has a lid... put this heat up.

"Microwave is bad because it's going to make the pizza chewy, the oven's bad because everything's going to be kind of too crispy. You want the gooey top and the crispy bottom still."

When the pan's piping hot, Dom says you should put one slice in, with no oil or butter needed. This should be left to cook for around 30 seconds to a minute, before pouring a little water into the pan as well.

Dom didn't confirm how much water is needed, but used a small, petri-dish-sized container when doing this. "Pour it on the side," he continued. "Then you're going to put the top [lid of the pan] on and you're going to let this all steam up."

Leaving this for another three or four minutes should make the pizza's cheese more gooey, with it a fresh out of the oven texture. "Not as fast as the microwave obviously," Dom acknowledged, but said: "Definitely faster than the oven, but this is actually the best way to reheat pizza. Or, you can just eat it cold, because that's good too - I love cold pizza!"

This takeaway trick has since been met with thousands of amazed comments on the platform, with many keen to give it a try for themselves. One person wrote: "Tried it and it's really the closest thing u get to a fresh pizza amazing,", as another added: "That’s exactly what I do it's work's amazing."

Meanwhile, others suggested that an air fryer can work similarly well when reheating slices. "My Pampered Chef Air Fryer on reheat for 5 mins is the best way but I'll have to try your pan method to know for sure," one person said.

Another echoed this, writing: "You could get a pampered chef Air fryer. they have a reheat setting. Best reheated pizza I've ever had!"
