Hmmm .... I agreed, but then thought, Well, if you nuke a frozen pizza back to its constituent atoms, would that count as "cooked to perfection?"
I'm not a nuclear scientist, but I imagine blasting anything to atomic dust is not the perfection sought in a well cooked food product. But then I don't know what cook books you use.

A "well-cooked" frozen pizza is one that has been converted into fine white ash that is then scattered in a remote location to minimize the danger of it being consumed.

The amount of frozen-pizza libel going on in this thread is appalling!

Hey, I can enjoy a good frozen pizza. But it doesn't come close to a well prepared, freshly made pizza.

Frozen pizza does not put on airs. It knows its place.

Pfagh. You can take my supermarket pizza when you pry it from my 425-degree oven. :p

I’m not a big fan of frozen pizza. They usually taste like freezer. Except the Dr Oetker thin crust ones, they aren’t so bad when you need a quick snack.

I agree.

But then you will probably need to put it back in because my oven always takes like 2x the time to cook for some annoying reason.

Yes I pre heat it first.

I got a pizza cooker gadget that's like a pizza sized oven in a clamshell case, and DiGiorno gluten free is actually pretty good.

If you get anything fancier than plain cheese (or three cheese or four cheese you know the drill) or pepperoni frozen that's a "you" problem.

We may need to start a nobody cares thread for math topics.

High school students who came up with 'impossible' proof of Pythagorean theorem discover 9 more solutions to the problem
Two students who discovered a seemingly impossible proof to the Pythagorean theorem in 2022 have wowed the math community again with nine completely new solutions to the problem.

While still in high school, Ne'Kiya Jackson and Calcea Johnson from Louisiana used trigonometry to prove the 2,000-year-old Pythagorean theorem, which states that the sum of the squares of a right triangle's two shorter sides are equal to the square of the triangle's longest side (the hypotenuse). Mathematicians had long thought that using trigonometry to prove the theorem was unworkable, given that the fundamental formulas for trigonometry are based on the assumption that the theorem is true.
Jackson and Johnson came up with their "impossible" proof in answer to a bonus question in a school math contest. They presented their work at an American Mathematical Society meeting in 2023, but the proof hadn't been thoroughly scrutinized at that point. Now, a new paper published Monday (Oct. 28) in the journal American Mathematical Monthly shows their solution held up to peer review. Not only that, but the two students also outlined nine more proofs to the Pythagorean theorem using trigonometry.
