Bacon contains muscle and fat. The muscle cooks more quickly than the fat. By pouring just enough water to cover the bacon in your pan, the water will prevent the temperature from getting too high so the fat can render out. Just wait until the water has evaporated, the bacon will get nice and crispy.

If you want perfectly crispy bacon, you need to boil it.

Every pizza lover knows the struggle of reheating cold pizza. You heat it up in the oven or microwave, but when you take a bite, it's chewy and lacks flavor. With the following six best tips, you can discover how to reheat your cold pizza to taste just as good as when it was first made!

Method 1: Reheat Leftover Pizza in the Oven

To reheat pizza, the oven is the best option. This method works because the heat penetrates deep into the crust, keeping the toppings soft and moist (yes, we said moist). If you want to avoid overcooking the cheese, wrap the pizza tightly with aluminum foil and place it directly onto the rack. You can even use parchment paper to help keep the edges from burning.

You will know when the slice is ready once the cheese on top has melted again. If not, keep it in there for a couple minutes more. Don't worry about overheating the slice; the worst that can happen is you get a crispy crust and some burnt cheese which will make it taste even better.

While microwaving pizza is an easy way to reheat leftover pizza, you usually end up with a greasy puddle of cheese and a limp, soggy crust. That's because microwaves mainly function by converting the food's water content to steam, making it nearly impossible to make any food crispy.

Follow along if you want to know how to reheat pizza properly in the microwave:

If you're looking for a solution between a microwave and a conventional oven, a toaster oven may be just what you need. Although it cooks more quickly than the oven, it takes longer than the microwave, and incorrect use can lead to inconsistent cooking. Like the traditional oven, pizza cooked in a toaster oven is less likely to burn if you preheat the oven before adding the slice.

While it may seem unconventional, using an air fryer can give you a perfectly crispy crust and gooey melted cheese every time. Heat the air fryer to about 400 degrees Fahrenheit before you begin. Put 1-2 pizza slices in the basket, providing space for air circulation. Keep an eye on it after 3 minutes to ensure the toppings don't burn.

And voila - delicious reheated slices of pizza without a microwave in sight! Just let it cool before digging in, or you'll end up with a mouthful of hot cheese. Happy munching!

Given the range of air fryers, you may discover your sweet spot between 360 and 400 degrees, cooked for four to eight minutes.

This is our favorite method! It may sound easy enough, but reheating a couple of slices in a pan is more complicated than it sounds. When done correctly, this method of reheating pizza results in a crisp crust and cheese that is almost like it was when it was first made. If your pan is too hot, it will burn and bubble. Here's how you can reheat pizza in a frying pan:

&nbsp;Be careful when selecting the temperature, especially for thin-crust pizzas, as they heat up quickly. Low and slow!

Reheating a pizza, which is often cooked at high temperatures, would benefit from a similarly high-temperature surface. Gas grills and broilers (basically inverted grills) can reach temperatures of 500 degrees Fahrenheit in a short amount of time. Putting cold pizza slices on the grill grates will quickly reheat them, and you can then enjoy them once the cheese has melted.

Six to seven minutes on "medium-high" heat is the recommended amount of time to temperature ratio for this method. The grill method does put some crunch back into the pizza crust. There may be some burnt bits and not enough gooey cheese, but hey - you win some, you lose some!

This method's extreme temperatures produce uneven heating, and the cheese separates when heated too quickly. If you are broiling instead of grilling, you risk burning the crust and the center because they are at a higher temperature.

Here are some additional tips to help you get the best results when reheating pizza in the oven:

There are plenty of ways to store them and keep them tasty for future snacks or meals. First, let the pizza cool down to room temperature before placing it in your refrigerator or freezer. This will help prevent condensation buildup and soggy crusts. If you plan on eating the pizza within a few days, go ahead and stick it in the fridge in an airtight container or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap.

For longer storage, place the individual slices in freezer bags or an airtight container before popping them into the freezer. When you're ready to enjoy your frozen pizza, reheat it in the oven or on a skillet until it's hot all the way through. Trust us, cold pizza is never as satisfying as a freshly-reheated slice straight from the oven.
