Take n' Bake

Let me give you some pointers on Papa Murphy's Take n' Bake Pizza so that you don't end up making the same mistake I did.

First of all, if you live in a tiny apartment with a tiny kitchen and a tiny oven, don't try and cook things that don't fit in it.

We bought a delicious Heart-Shaped pizza to enjoy on Valentine's Day and were so excited!  However, it wouldn't quite fit in the oven...  but it was so close!  So I figured I could bend the sides up a bit and they'd just be touching the edges of the oven and be fine.  Bad. Idea.

Five minutes later, we were watching a movie on the couch and started to smell a terrible smell.  I jumped up and our oven was smoking!!!  My first thought was the fire extinguisher as Brock and I both looked at it at the same time.  I rushed to the oven, turned it off, and pulled out the pizza.  Thank goodness- no fire.  Just a lot of smoke and stinky-ness and burnt edges of the pizza.  And then the smoke alarm went off.  So we freaked out again and opened the doors and turned on the fans and were frantically airing out the room.  Then it turned off, and we both burst into laughter.  That's a Valentine's memory we won't soon forget!  It was so funny!

So we transferred the pizza to a cooking sheet.  Brilliant, right?  Haha and cut off the burnt edges, and the pizza was saved :)  And very delicious!  But take this as a word to the wise.  Don't let what you're cooking touch the edges of your tiny oven....  Especially if it's flammable like the paper pizza holder.  :)
