leftover pizza

[juliet]

What will happen to leftover pizza if I put it in the fridge? Will it go soggy? I don't want to leave it on the table (which would be my customary approach if, say, at home) ftb Cockroach Problem - I am pretty sure they'll be able to get into the box. Maybe if I put it through in the study. I haven't seen evidence any scuttly things on the desk through there.

Leftover pizza will be fine in the fridge.

You could try putting it in the oven, but not turning the oven on.

The oven does not work, & I am pretty sure there are Things living in it. Things with webs. Probably more roaches. (yergh)

I was about to say - if it does go soggy a few minutes in the oven should make it tasty again. But that's no good to you, is it?

So the solution must be Extreme Piggerishness! Eat it now!

[juliet]

Sadly no! But consensus seems to be that it'll be fine anyway. Also no, I am not eating it now. It is bigger than I expected, & I will be sick, which would be bad.

I could post it to you? Not sure it wouldn't be soggy by then tho.

Also I am very very very full of cheese! No space for pizza. :(

What is the pizza like down there?

[juliet]

Hm. Variable. Nothing I have yet encountered that's as good as Pizze Cucina. The place down the road is v good with quantity of toppings, but there's something a bit weird - almost pastry-ish - about their bases. (At least they're thin, mind.)

I would go crazy and buy a roachproof tupperware container to put it in!

[juliet]

But it is 23:00 and the shops will be shut! Time is of the essence in this matter! (I do *have* roachproof tupperware, but none of it big enough for half a pizza.)

(Seriously, right, what is wrong with me that suddenly I can't eat a whole large pizza all by myself? I am worried for my stomach; it must be shrinking.)

I agree with djm4 - I think it's less likely to go soggy in the fridge than in a container. We always put pizza leftovers in the fridge - ours generally have cheese on them, and I don't like leaving dairy products out overnight.

Cool, thank you! We are v lazy about these matters, as a rule; but it's amazing what the known presence of scuttly pest-things will do to your concern levels :-/

I'll join the chorus: Stick it in the fridge. It'll be fine.

I tend to put pizza in a ziplock and stick it in the fridge. In fact I did this on Sunday and re-heated it on Tuesday and it was fine. If you want to avoid sogginess, just don't put it in a microwave!

put it in me kthxbye

[juliet]

you? or the guineapig in the icon? Sadly I fear as yet we have no pizza-over-IP protocol....

(BTW: have we met? yr profile is not being informative in this regard, though admittedly my brain shut down a couple of hours ago & has yet to reboot, so.)

[zebrallama.livejournal.com]

I was channeling Caramel, the guinea pig in the icon. I haven't actually told her about the pizza situation, because well she probably wouldn't understand me and if she did she'd be disappointed that she's not getting any.

I think you're right, we have no pizza-over-IP protocol, and if we did, you'd have to start by putting it in packets ... and if you had packets you wouldn't have posted in the first place.

No, we haven't met. But I HAVE met Caramel.

I'd go with the fridge solution in this particular instance, but my other option for similar situations (where there is some reason not to want it to get cold) is the microwave. It's got a pretty decent seal - enough to keep out UK flies, for instance, but I'm not 100% sure it'd repel determined antipodean roaches, though.

fridge pizza is ever so slightly soggy, but only in a good and tasty leftover way so that's what I'd go for. ALthough only if you are confident that you have removed all the roaches from the inside of the fridge after the weekend's escapades!

[juliet]

Roach was found dead in the morning with its feet in the air (truefact!) so I concluded that a) it got in cos I left the door open a bit & b) it died in the cold.

(still. ewwwwwwwwwwww.)
