1. I do not put my frozen pizza directly on the oven rack. I use a round pizza pan that has lots of little 1 cm holes in it. I toe the line, baby.
2. I have never once in my life thought about whether or not my oven racks get cleaned. That is not my reason for not putting pizza on them. My reasons are A. The pizza sags between the bars, and B. It drips cheese onto the bottom of the oven, which then burns and makes a bad smell.
3. I do not know anyone who has ever cleaned an oven rack. (Wow...do you want to come over to my house for dinner?)
4. I don't know what a pizza peel is. When I have DONE the directly-on-the-rack method, it is a giant pain to get the piping hot pizza out of the oven. I generally hold a pizza sheet under it, with one hand, and I reach the other hand into the hot oven with my pizza cutter, and sort of try to shove the scalding hot flexible pizza towards the front. Where my body is. I really really do not like this method.
5. Removing the whole oven rack? That's a really good idea. I never thought of that.
6. I never add more cheese or toppings, but I usually buy DiGiorno pizzas. But even with less fancy pizzas, I still don't add anything. I feel like that is cheating. Just kidding. Usually, if I'm making a frozen pizza, it's because I don't have anything good and edible in the house. Like pizza toppings.
7. I never ate frozen pizza with any frequency until we went solo-income. So all of my experience is within like the last two years or so.
