Into which groove (top/bottom) do you put the tray to warm up frozen food or reheat pizza?

Most of the time for reheating you will probably use the bottom on the solid tray. But it does depend on the height of the food. For pizza I would put it on the bottom so the bottom heats up more and crisps up the crust. For toast, frozen bread I use the barred tray in the middle. For cookies I use the solid tray in the middle.

Hi,I would use the bottom groove and the solid tray. The top is for the broiler. Though I guess you could heat a piece of pizza on the bottom and the broil it briefly to extra crisp the top.

I would put it on the bottom and warm the oven first, then it will be more like an oven. I use the middle for toast.

If the foot is flat, I put it in the top groove. If the food is tall and would hot the heating element, I put it in the lower groove.

We usually use the bottom groove. The top groove is more for the broiling function.

The is no comparison to a toaster oven or a regular oven. Those ovens only cook in one directions mainlly down. The Presto cooks on both sides at once. For example, a pizza cooks on both sides where in a regular oven it cooks only on one side.That is what give frozen french fries the delicious fast food taste without frying in oil to finish. The controls are such that you can only cook on one side if you desire, but why would you do that?

it doesnt have a top/lid, so i will not be a substitute for an oven. reheat a slice or two? probably ok. get a green egg, then you can really cook a pizza. this is a grill, nothing more, but for its intended purpose, performs admirably.

I'd consider a grill pizza stone. Just set it on the grate without worrying about the cast iron pizza pan.You may also like the KettlePizza insert. I splurged and I love it. Keeps the temp up for great pizza.

I would only use as directed. (we have a gas oven)We have had it on the bottom rack (we have 3 racks) for several months now with no problem setting trays on top of it.

Totally, that's how I warm up my meat pies. I bake and freeze....though you want to make sure that they are only *cold* when they go in the toaster oven. Not frozen...tempered or not it could break them.

Sorry, we only eat frozen pizza in slices we purchase from Sams. It does a beautiful job with those. It is basically a small verdion of an expensive full size oven. Very easy to use!

I am not aware of a practice of tray rotating. I did notice that the top two shelves don't get the same amount of heat as the rest. Although, my unit is currently returned for repair as the fan quit working. It's cost me an additional $55.00. I'm not so happy about this.

15 1/2 W x 9 D x 8 H Still 100% satisfied by the toaster...I forgot to mention that I reheat frozen Costco pizza purchased at the Food Court using the provided tray with the rack facing down so the crust is almost touching the tray...The end result is the pizza comes out crispy and is even better than when first purchased at the Food Court!!!!

It's best to heat it up at least a half hour before you use it. The stone will be really work at its best. Also if you have a gas stove place the stone on the bottom. If your stove is electric lower the rack to its lowest setting and place the stove there. Your pizza will be nice and crisp.

The stainless tray comes off. I never have pre heated mine but you could put it on the top shelf of the grill or inside off to the side. I love mine and only use it to transfer cooked meats etc to the table

I put the dough in a Styrofoam cooler with a 60 watt light and dimmer switch. In the top I place a therometer. The temperature is regulated with the dimmer switch. If the bowl with the dough won't fit, set it on an upside down in the bottom. I have used this for years. Works great and cost minimal.

It is in the center of the unit. It pulls air through the food from the top and it also heats up to whatever temp you set. It also has a timer and turns off automatically. its a really nice unit.

dont try cooking pizza...too much direct heat from the top and not enough to do the crust properly...

There are no real instructions. Put it on a flat surface and put your frozen foods still in their wrapping onto the tray. Keeping them wrapped keeps the moisture in as well as keeping your countertop clean of any drippings from the thawing.Walk away and forget it. Don't forget it too long because it works quite fast.You can also put it in your fridge with the food on it if you need to go away and on this way it defrosts and stays cool avoiding bacterial contaminations.Just wash the tray in warm soapy water, rinse, dry and store till the next time you need it.It has saved my bacon man times when I realized I forgot to thaw AGAIN. !!!!Lene from Holland.

I didn't notice differences when comparing the description of the two. I use this pizza oven 2-3 times a week. It is great for making pizza, frozen snack items, and reheating crispy foods and pizza to be as tasty as when they were originally made. This is perfect to make food for one or several people without heating up your oven and house. I have put chicken nuggets, frozen shrimp, fries, cheese sticks, and marinara sauce on at the same time and an entire meal for three people was made in 15 minutes, saved energy, and minimum clean up.
