Cook on "high"
This recipe calls for some unusual ingredients.

If you don't want to follow the link, here is the list of ingredients for Rachel Ray's Tomato and Basil Pizza, as found on Yahoo!:

1 (15 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for coating
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 pound supermarket's refrigerator or freezer section, divided into 4-ounce pieces
2 cups shredded Mozzarella
1 bunch basil

Not surprisingly, I'm not the only one to have noticed this, as evidenced by the comments section.

	Those freezer sections are kinda tough to chew. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	yeah you're right. You're better off with those 4 ounce pieces of refrigerator sections. Don't mind the freon. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	For those with not enough iron in their diet, i expect. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Maybe I should try that. Screw red meat--nothing gives you that iron boost like a freezer! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I chipped a tooth when I tried to make this. I should sue. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Just make sure it's fresh. You're already eating freezer parts, then you don't want to be eating old freezer parts. (Reply to this)

	So... do I strain the motor oil off the back, or is that part of the seasoning? Also, if I wanted to remove the copper wiring to sell for scrap, would that detract from the overall bouquet of the pizza? (Reply to this)

	Now is that a stupid or is that just a typo? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	opalcat 2007-06-13 08:07 am UTC (link)
	It's an incomplete copy/paste, I think. The stupid is that they didn't proofread it and fix it. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	wtf? haha I guess she didn't really want to give away the secret to her recipe. (Reply to this)

	Why is everybody resorting to store-bought freezer sections. I prefer the homemade variety. It's much healthier and isn't treated with pesticides. (Reply to this)

	I saw something similar on the BBC website some time ago. The recipe was clearly a modified copy+paste, but hadn't been modified enough. It told you to turn the oven on, but none of the method called for use of the oven. So it was telling you to turn the oven on just for fun, it seemed. (Reply to this)

	My mum is American and wanted to show British people what devilled ham is. So she got out her trusty Betty Crocker cookbook, only to find the 'recipe' began "Take one can devilled ham"... I bought my own BC some years back but it's not nearly as good as my mum's 1950s one - almost all the recipes call for pre-packaged goods of some kind. Sorry Betty, you lose to Delia.

	...gah. That's Some Assembly Required and not really cooking. marveen 2007-06-12 06:21 pm UTC (link)
	That's also why I collect old cookbooks. [*To devil ham, you grind or chop it finefinefine and mix with not too much butter, some onion (also ground or grated fine), a dab of mustard, and enough black pepper. (I add some smoked paprika, which while not in the original recipe does give it a bit of a kick.)] (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Can I cross post to Rachael Ray Sux? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Hmmmmmm... it seems Rachel Ray's website has the correct recipe, and someone at Yahoo! copied it wrong. But whatever. Do what you like! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	That pound of supermarket was heavy to carry home...now I got back pains (Reply to this) (Thread)

	spicysaurus 2007-06-13 07:44 pm UTC (link)
	Not to be too critical, but a pound is a pound. A "pound of supermarket" is no heavier than a pound of cotton. Just sayin'. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	It's the coolant tang that makes the pizza. (Reply to this)

	These recipes always have just one thing that you'd never get in your local grocer or have around the house! Like a pinch of saffron, some galangal, a spoonful of vanilla sugar, okra, or a pound of freezer section. (Reply to this)
