Write the oven temperature and time to cook (or other prep info) on the thin side of the container that’s visible when you open your fridge or freezer. Never disrupt your beautiful freezer Tetris to check whether the frozen pizza is 400 or 425 again! I keep a sharpie and a roll of masking tape in the kitchen, sometimes it’s hard to write directly on the container due to moisture.

When I’m going to cook something from the freezer I tend to remove it from said, therefore this tip is entirely redundant and a complete waste of time.
An additional LPT given what you wrote: basically every frozen pizza on the market cooks perfectly fine at 420°F for around 15 minutes (start checking at around 10 especially if it’s thin crust). That’s the one item in the freezer you never need to actually know specifics on.
Thin crust, thick crust, stuffed, it doesn’t matter. 420° blaze that thing.
Why would I need to do this?
I take out whatever I need from the freezer when I turn on the oven. It’s not like it’s gonna thaw during the five ten minutes it take for the oven to get hot. Plus it’s not like 210 or 225 makes that much of a difference.
My wife puts some boxed frozen food items in freezer bags (to save space) and if they have instructions she just cuts that part out and puts it in the freezer bag as well.
My favorite LPT posts are when the OP gets roasted on their “tip”.
This tip seems to suggest that one would first check what temperature the oven is at, then go to the freezer and try to find something that cooks at that.
Insane behaviour. Milk-then-cereal level thinking.
Only eat food that doesn’t have instructions
This guy has a full fridge.
Great tip! Using masking tape and a sharpie is a smart way to keep everything organized and easily accessible.
Truly some weirdo shit mate
It’s wild to me that so many people take those instructions seriously. When I’m reheating frozen food, I cook it based off of vibes alone
Before reheating my food, I always do a wattage check on my microwave.
A better tip would be to take stuff out the box and write the heating steps with sharpie on the bag.
I do this to make room.
