I reheat pizza in my toaster oven instead of my microwave... but I'm not sure if thats wierd, just smart.

Pizza reheated from microwave - soggy, burning, untasty

Pizza reheated from toasteroven/oven - cripsy, tasty, better than when it first arrived

I prefer my leftover pizza cold, but that's definately the smart way to go about reheating it.

I have some.

Hell, right now I'm preparing a vegetable broth/spice/brine solution to soak the turkey in before it goes into the oven. I don't know if that counts as unorthodox, but if brined and cooked right you get one hell of a juicy turkey...

I like to warm my silverware in the toaster before I use it.

I have an interesting way of making French Fries. Just take the ol' patatoe, jam it in your butt, go for a run, and in minutes you'll have perfect julian fries. Do jumping jacks for hashbrowns.

:lol: at Napalm's reply. And no, I don't have a weird way of cooking anything, mainly due to my complete lack of cooking skills. If it can't be put in a microwave or on a Foreman grill, I'm not heating it up.

When I was a little kid, on several occasions I cut hot dogs into slices and cooked them with a magnifying glass and the EXTREME POWER OF THE SUN. Hey, it works for ants, might as well work for food, right? It was pretty good.

Not a weird way of cooking food, but a weird way of starting the grill...

Our starter crapped out, and we had no matches or lighter. So what I did was hunt around the yard for a stick that was dry enough (it just rained), and then lit the stick on the heating elements of the kitchen stove. Then I had to run outside before the semi-wet stick went out, turn on the gas, and shove the stick in the grill. After 1/2 an hour of attempting that, it finally lit. :)

Doesn't sound too bad... I hickory smoke my Turkeys every year... about to get started on it. Yay for slow cooking.

I guess we Texans think alike, but I'll do ya one better ;)

We actually have a small TURBO CONVECTION oven which is just absolutely incredible for reheating pizzas. It does it in only 5 minutes and 40 seconds (no need to preheat since it heats up so fast), and it comes out even better than when it's delivered...

Also, it's probably a cultural thing but my family likes to buy these special Asian bannanas and fry them in a pan, then sprinkle with sugar. Been eating them since I was a kid, my mom makes them from time to time, great stuff :)

I agree 100%. To me there's simply no other way.

I've reheated pizza using tinfoil and a small space heater before.

When I was little and had a few friends over my parents ordered pizza for us but made it clear that we couldn't have any food after midnight. 1 am rolled around and the three of us were hungry. Since my parents kept their door open at night they could hear anyone using the microwave or toaster oven. Clever as we were, we decided to make a ninja run for the leftover pizza. They grabbed the pizza box & 2 liter and I noticed the tinfoil sitting out and suddenly it hit me. I grabbed it getting a weird look from them and we made our way back to my room using metal gear stealth tactics. They thought I was a dumbass for getting the tinfoil and were complaining that the pizza was cold. Then I pointed at the little space heater that sat in the corner of my cold ass room and they got it! I made a little tinfoil package, stuck the pizza inside, attached it to the front of the heater and cranked that little thing all the way up. 20 or 30 minutes later we had some kick ass toasty Macgyvered pizza.
