How to Bake Pizza Using a Whirlpool Magicook 20L Classic-W Oven
While the Whirlpool Magicook 20L Classic-W might not have a specific convection mode, you can still enjoy a delicious pizza using its built-in microwave functions. Follow our step-by-step guide to achieve a perfectly baked pizza without any specialized settings.
Prepare the Pizza
First, gather all your ingredients and assemble your pizza on a microwave-safe plate or pizza stone if you have one. You can use a pre-made base or make your own using your favorite toppings.
Use the Microwave Mode
Since there's no convection mode, rely on the 'Microwave' function. Set the power level to high (100%) for cooking.
Set the Cooking Time
Begin with a cooking time of about 5-7 minutes. The exact duration may vary depending on the thickness of the crust and the toppings. Keep an eye on the pizza to avoid overcooking.
Check for Doneness
After the initial cooking time, check the pizza. If the cheese is bubbling and the crust looks cooked, it's ready. If it isn't, continue cooking in 1-minute increments until it reaches the desired level of doneness.
Optional: Use the Grill Function
If your oven has a 'Grill' function, you can use it for a couple of minutes after microwaving to crisp up the crust and brown the cheese, ensuring a perfect finish.
Let It Rest
Once done, let the pizza rest for a minute before slicing. This allows the cheese to set slightly and makes it easier to cut.
Tips
Avoid Soggy Crust
Place the pizza on a microwave-safe rack to allow air circulation underneath, which can help prevent a soggy crust.
Preheat if Applicable
If your model allows, preheat the grill function for better results.
Experiment
Remember that every microwave can vary, so you may need to adjust cooking times based on your specific preferences.
With these steps, you should be able to bake a delicious pizza in your Whirlpool Magicook microwave!
Note: The Whirlpool Magicook 20L Classic-W is a pure microwave oven, and the only kind of pizza that can be heated in this oven is a pizza that has been fully cooked and cooled. It can be reheated using the 'Microwave' mode. For a crisp bottom, it is best to reheat the bottom of the crust in a fry pan.
