How to Cook Pizza Rolls in The Microwave

1. 1. Kroger Pizza Snack Rolls

They are not only sweet but also savory. Every bite allows you to feel the taste of herbs and spices. 

Melted cheese stretches between each sauce pocket as you draw the roll apart. And there’s a bubbly crust to add another layer of deliciousness to this already scrumptious snack.

Safety Tips To Consider When Microwaving Pizza Rolls

Apart from using a microwave-safe plate for cooking your pizza rolls in the microwave, there are extra safety tips you should consider.

Here are what you should observe when microwaving pizza rolls:

1. Arrange your pizza rolls in single layers. This ensures even heating.
2. Microwave on high, but for a minute or less. This prevents overheating.
3. Let them stand for 2 minutes before eating. They could burn you if you don’t let them cool down.
4. Don’t leave your microwave unattended when cooking your pizza rolls. 

How To Reheat Pizza In The Microwave Without It Getting Soggy

Reheating pizza in the microwave without it getting soggy may sound hard. But it’s practically proven to be pretty easy with the following steps:

1. The first thing you need to take is to place the pizza onto a plate, then take it into the microwave.
2. The second step is to take a microwavable cup and top it with water.
3. Add that to the microwave along with the pizza.
4. Switch your microwave to high power and cook the contents for about 30-45 seconds.

You may be wondering:

Why do you put a glass of water in the microwave with your food? How does adding a cup of water in the microwave stop your pizza crust from going soggy?

It all comes down to how microwaves heat water and other liquids, compared to denser substances.

The microwave absorbs all the energy that’d constantly bounce around inside your pizza if you place it alone without adding the cup of water.

The liquid in your pizza heated rapidly as a result. It shortly gets vaporized and ends up in the crust.

The end result? A soggy pizza crust!

Putting a cup of water in the microwave means that the extra energy gets somewhere else to go.

The water in the cup absorbs some of the microwaves, meaning that your pizza heats up:

• More slowly
• More evenly
• Retains a deliciously crispy crust.

Is It Better To Reheat Pizza In The Microwave Or Oven?

Both have pros and cons. The decision depends on the urgency of the pizza.

Reheating pizza in the oven is more time-consuming than doing it in the microwave. But the result is better regardless of how much time is needed.

So, a microwave is a go-to option if you’re planning to reheat your pizza within the shortest time. But if there’s time, the oven will do better.

If your pizza has rested for a whole day, you’ll find that its taste and texture are much fresher if you use the oven rather than the microwave.

With that said, I’ll use the microwave if I only have to reheat a slice or two. That way, I’ll not have to wait for long to reheat the small portion of the pizza.

If I have half a pizza, though, I’ll make an effort to get it back to its best by heating it in the oven.

Not everyone has a toaster at their disposal. But if you are lucky to have one, this is a much faster way of getting the job done.

A toaster works perfectly for doughy food like pizza!

Before tossing them inside, spread your pizza evenly on a microwave-safe plate, leaving space between them. Don’t stack them on top of each other because that will prevent them from heating evenly.

I recommend adding a layer of paper towel over the top of pizza rolls to stop any splattering or popping.
