I bought a piece of 1.5 inch stiff foam to try to fix a sag in a bed. It didn’t work but having that thick piece of solid foam around has been a life saver.
Need something flat to put a laptop on? Throw it on the foam. Going to be doing something that requires you to be on your knees for a while? Get the foam!
It went from stupid purchase to something I’d gladly replace if it broke.
You don’t let it cool completely but for like 5 minutes. The cheese solidifies a bit more once it’s not blistering hot so when you slice the pizza the toppings are less likely to slough off. It keeps the cheese on the slice instead of being dragged with the scissors or slicer. Same idea with lasagna or shepherd’s pie, it holds it shape a bit better instead of spilling apart into a mess when you try to serve it.
Maybe this is an issue for thicker pizzas? With thin pizzas (which is 99% of home pizzas where I live) you just kinda chop straight down rather than drag the knife through.
