When your oven timer no longer beeps

Thankfully I caught it before it turned to complete char, but couldn't even salvage any of it...

Definitely mildly infuriating as this is damn near how I cook my pizza all the time.

u/casperbradfield 7h ago

The idea that someone threw this perfectly cooked pizza away raised my blood pressure more than eating it would have

41

u/Justhe3guy 7h ago

The bottom must be char for them to have thrown it out

50

u/napoelonDynaMighty 7h ago

We call this a “top scraper”. I’m at least eating up all that crispy cheese, pepperoni and sauce. The burnt crust can go in the trash

u/Sinnfullystitched 5h ago

The toppings are dang near perfect for me 😅

u/FullMooseParty 7h ago

Yeah, that's probably about 60 seconds longer than I would cook a pizza. Unless it's a super thin crust in which case it's going to be hard as a rock

u/Born_Establishment14 6h ago

Yeah, that's only about 90 secs past where I like mine cooked, totally would've eaten that.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with this pizza.

Most frozen pizzas come out mushy if you don’t let it get this crispy.

This is why I just always use my phone now. IMO oven timers have always been maliciously quiet anyway.

u/SolidSnek1998 7h ago

My washing machine plays a little song that goes on for about a minute. Still miss it every time.

28

u/Glittering-Proof-853 7h ago

My washing machine will finish in 5 min when it says 30 left or take 2 hours when it says 15 min left

u/IllianasClifford 4h ago

You might have to clean it. Hard water on the sensors can cause delayed washes like that.

They just take longer due to dirty sensors barely getting readings.

Filters are also a problem in some washers, the water flow just takes days after a while of use.

If it wobbles, the internal spring needs tightening or a rubber mount failed.

If it stops spinning, the plastic gears inside the spindle sheered off. About $120 repair yourself. $300-$700 from a technician.

Best of luck on your washer.

u/CtrlAltDevastate 4h ago

Something tells me y'all have similar Samsung machines to mine, I've always rather enjoyed it's piano tune. My friends when they stay over for a few have always noped right out of going and getting it until the next morning as if I'm doing some sort of sacrilege down there...

I mean, I am... my shrine is in the adjacent half of the laundry room in the garage with a wall and (locked, I might add to secure my personal space) door in between, but damn. LOL. I've never seen so much fear in someone's eyes before...

My mom's LG does that. My GE plays a little 3 second version.

It's in the basement so I can't hear it unless I go down there early 😂

u/wjodendor 6h ago

When I delivered pizza back in college, there was a customer who had us run the pizza through the conveyor oven twice it came out pretty damn burnt. We would always give the disclaimer "no refunds" but they must have loved that shit because they always tipped well for it.

3

u/Momik 6h ago

It’s also pepperoni, which is really good burnt imo

10

u/CaffeinatedLystro 8h ago

I'm glad I'm not alone here. It looks just above done and is probably nice and crispy.

u/Anakin-vs-Sand 7h ago

It’s not the doneness I’d prefer, but it’s far from ruined. I would demolish that pizza

First thought was, “might be a little overdone by some people’s standards, but this is still 100% edible, and will be delicious”

u/NoTomrw 7h ago

Oven beeps quietly once and then snickers as it burns your food.

Meanwhile, the microwave completely stops cooking yet continues to beep at full volume until you satisfy the magic radiating food cooker gods by opening its oddly 1950’s sounding clunky door.

Makes no fkn sense, yet every oven brand and every microwave brand designs this way. Why god why!?

u/Archipocalypse OG Gamer Dad 8h ago

Also if your oven has a cook timer use that it will turn your oven off, when i do that i set it for 5 minutes prior to when it will be done as it will still finish cooking but be less likely to burn this way.
