If you just leave it there it's likely to overcook. Take it out when it's done and enjoy.

[-] mvirts@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago

Any overcooked item must have been perfectly cooked at one point assuming the item cooks evenly :P

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 20 points 4 days ago

It's called a pizza oven!

Bread sous vide basically

[-] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 22 points 4 days ago

There are places on the planet Mercury that, if you were to find a lava tube of sufficient depth, would be the perfect temperature for human habitation. Some of the craters on Mercury's poles are never exposed to sunlight and actually have ice in them. Most of the planet is of course boiling hot when the Sun is overhead. But there should be some choice areas where you could skirt the balance of the two, and find lava tubes that, with proper sealing, would be quite comfortable for humans to occupy.

I hope this is true any source I could read more?

[-] UpperBroccoli@lemmy.blahaj.zone 30 points 4 days ago

There is this restaurant on a volcano on Lanzarote, in the "Parque Nacional de Timanfaya", where they cook with the heat from the magma below. I am sure you could cook a pizza with that, as well.

[-] grozzle@lemm.ee 9 points 4 days ago

been there once - saw a delivery of some big canisters of gas 🤔

[-] kameecoding@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

That's just for gas lightning (the customers into thinking they cook with magma heat)

[-] msage@programming.dev 8 points 4 days ago

Yeah, I had the chicken.

Unfortunatelly, the rest of the kitched was not very good. Just go to Villa Toledo in Costa Teguise.

[-] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 17 points 4 days ago

Yeah. There is also likely a position in the earth where its possible to cook a human perfectly by getting them to bring a pizza there.

[-] Zos_Kia@lemmynsfw.com 9 points 4 days ago

There was also a time when most of the universe was at the perfect temperature and density to cook pizza,I guess.

[-] Skua@kbin.earth 15 points 4 days ago

A pizza oven is about 450 C, so I'll figure it out based on this graph of the temperature in the Earth by depth.

0 to 500 C = 80 px
6.25 C per pixel
450/6.25 = 72 px

0 to 100 km = 54 px
1.85 km per pixel

Line y coordinate at 72 px x coordinate = 9 px
9*1.85 = ~17 km

The deepest hole we've ever actually drilled is the Kola superdeep borehole, which is a bit over 12 km deep. This is a fair bit short of our ideal pizza oven temperature, but it did see temperatures of 180 C, which is certainly enough to cook a pizza.

[-] Mavvik@lemmy.ca 15 points 4 days ago

The geothermal gradient is different at different parts of the earth. You can probably bake a pizza at much shallower depths at the mid ocean ridge, near a volcano, or even at an active orogeny.

[-] grozzle@lemm.ee 4 points 4 days ago

i doubt i would have time for cooking at an active orogeny.

[-] prime_number_314159@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

In the area I live, this would mean you could be standing right next to the pizza cooking bore, and still be outside of the delivery range.

450 C is 842 F. A pizza oven doesn't get anywhere near that temperature. That's half-way to cremation.

Pizza ovens are usually between 475 and 550 F (246-287C)

Bro it literally took me 4 seconds to find out that you’re talking out of your ass

[-] bacon_saber@fedia.io 1 points 4 days ago

Keep digging. You can't rush a good pizza.

[-] ShareMySims@sh.itjust.works 12 points 4 days ago

Probably, but is that position also accessible to you to put the pizza there in the first place, and be able to get it back out? Because if it isn't, all you've done is sacrifice a perfectly good pizza. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[-] ALostInquirer@lemm.ee 19 points 4 days ago

Doesn't the Earth deserve the occasional pizzafice?

[-] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

"Finally! A pizza! I'm SO sick of virgins!"

[-] ShareMySims@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 days ago

Can't argue with that..

[-] OlinOfTheHillPeople@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago

This would be a good question for What If (xkcd).

[-] jbrains@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago

Only if temperature distribution is a continuous function.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 6 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

You can probably find such a place on or close to the surface of the earth if it's close to an active volcano.

[-] HipsterTenZero@dormi.zone 7 points 4 days ago

there are some spots on earth's surface where this is true as well.

[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 19 points 4 days ago

[-] mitrosus@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 4 days ago

That is under my foot

[-] DarkMetatron@feddit.org 6 points 4 days ago

This is the place where the hidden ancient civilization of P'zz'r lives, a mystical forgotten place deep in the earth

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

I'd rather be there, then the lost city of Atlanta.

[-] subtext@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

Luckily, we can mathematically prove this with the Intermediate Value Theorem!

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Lets not, and say that we did.

[-] mvirts@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

There must be infinitely many such positions if there is one

[-] qfe0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 4 days ago
[-] FigMcLargeHuge@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 days ago

Or my car...

[-] Boozilla@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Someone wants to summon Durin's Bane.

[-] cerement@slrpnk.net 3 points 4 days ago

“It’s-a me, Durino!”

[-] lugal@sopuli.xyz 1 points 4 days ago

I think the process of transporting it there and back fucks with the temperature because the it increases and later decreases so slowly that it's overcooked just by bringing it there and back again.

[-] half_built_pyramids@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Igneous extruded, is a type of pizza crust you'd get at a hipster pizza joint

[-] yesman@lemmy.world 0 points 4 days ago

What toppings? Are we talking fresh Moz? White sauce? This is very important.
