Why is everyone microwaving leftover pizza with a cup of water?
I saw three coworkers do it in the break room last Tuesday, same trick, cup of water next to the slice. My mom does it too. But every single time I try it, the crust turns into a sponge and the cheese gets chewy in a bad way. Am I missing some secret step? Is my microwave just weird? I feel like 90% of people swear by this and I'm starting to think they're all in on a joke I don't get. Has anyone else found this method totally useless, or do I need to buy a different brand of pepperoni?
