The default is **250\u00b0F for 20 minutes**, but that\u2019s more for gentle warming. For real reheating and crisping, you'll want higher heat. ([manuals.plus](https://manuals.plus/m/3cc58197c137920fb644dfabe331cf5dad59c431544576e6b1aefca654fd84b3?utm_source=openai))  \n- Use **Rack Position 2** (or whatever the middle/upper-middle slot is) when reheating or air frying. This allows hot air to circulate and crisp the crust. ([cuisinart.ca](https://www.cuisinart.ca/on/demandware.static/-/Sites-master-ca/en_CA/v1770545043648/Instruction%20Booklet/TOA-60C_en.pdf?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### Step-by-Step Method\n\n1. Pull your slice(s) from the fridge and let them sit for a minute or two (not strictly necessary).\n2. Preheat your oven if your model responds faster with preheating. For air fryers/toaster ovens, 2\u20133 minutes is usually enough. ([air-fryer-convert.com](https://air-fryer-convert.com/blog/reheat-pizza-air-fryer?utm_source=openai))\n3. Place pizza slices in a **single layer** on the rack or tray. Don\u2019t overlap or stack\u2014they\u2019ll steam instead of getting crispy. ([thepizzacraft.com](https://thepizzacraft.com/technique/how-to-reheat-pizza-in-air-fryer/?utm_source=openai))\n4. Set to **Air Fry mode** (or bake with convection) at about **350\u00b0F**.\n5. Start with **3 minutes**, check the slice. If cheese is melted and crust is crisp, you're done. If not, add a minute or two. Thicker crusts might need up to ~5 minutes. ([air-fryer-convert.com](https://air-fryer-convert.com/blog/reheat-pizza-air-fryer?utm_source=openai))\n6. If your oven has a **Reheat setting** and you want gentler heat, you can use it at around 325-350\u00b0F, but monitor closely\u2014pizza doesn\u2019t need the full 20-minute default. ([manuals.plus](https://manuals.plus/m/3cc58197c137920fb644dfabe331cf5dad59c431544576e6b1aefca654fd84b3?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### Tips & Common Mistakes\n\n- **Avoid using only the Warm function**\u2014it runs at lower temps (150-300\u00b0F) and usually takes too long, causing the crust to dry out. ([manuals.plus](https://manuals.plus/m/3cc58197c137920fb644dfabe331cf5dad59c431544576e6b1aefca654fd84b3?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Don\u2019t overload trays**\u2014air must flow around each slice.  \n- **Thin crust vs. thick crust**: thinner needs less time and can blister faster; thick crust benefits from slightly lower heat or more time. ([thepizzacraft.com](https://thepizzacraft.com/technique/how-to-reheat-pizza-in-air-fryer/?utm_source=openai))  \n- If the crust is already dry, you can lightly mist edges with water to help.  \n- Look for cheese bubbling + toppings hot + crust crisp but not burnt as your doneness cues.\n\n---\n\nIf you tell me which model you have (TOA-60, TOA-65, Chef\u2019s Classic, etc.), or the style of pizza (thin crust, deep dish, etc.), I can give you exact settings for *that* combo."

This position is recommended for AirFry and gives good distance from the heating elements so toppings don\u2019t burn.  \n  ([device.report](https://device.report/manual/3776964?utm_source=openai))\n\n- **Preheating**: Optional\u2014AirFry mode preheats fairly quickly (often ~2 minutes), so it\u2019s helpful but not essential.  \n  ([rtings.com](https://www.rtings.com/toaster-oven/reviews/cuisinart/air-fryer-toa-60?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## Step-by-Step Guide\n\n1. **Preheat (if desired)**: Turn the function to **AirFry**, set temp to **350\u00b0F**, run for ~2 minutes.  \n   ([rtings.com](https://www.rtings.com/toaster-oven/reviews/cuisinart/air-fryer-toa-60?utm_source=openai))\n\n2. **Prep the slice(s)**: Put pizza slices directly on the oven rack or in the AirFryer basket/nested within the baking pan if you want easier cleanup. Single layer is key.  \n   ([manualzz.com](https://manualzz.com/doc/59021759/cuisinart-toa-60-airfryer-toaster-oven-owner-s-manual?utm_source=openai))\n\n3. **Set rack**: Rack Position 2.  \n   ([manualzz.com](https://manualzz.com/doc/59021759/cuisinart-toa-60-airfryer-toaster-oven-owner-s-manual?utm_source=openai))\n\n4. **Reheat time**: 3\u20135 minutes. Check at ~3 minutes: the cheese should be melted and toppings hot; if the crust isn\u2019t crisp, add an extra minute or two.  \n   Based on user tests for similar ovens.  \n   ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/airfryer/comments/1u8dfk4/how_to_cook_fresh_shop_bought_pizza_in_air_fryer/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## Alternative / Gentle Option\n\nIf you prefer a less intense reheat (soft crust, more forgiving if you're busy):\n\n- Use **Bake** mode instead of AirFry.\n- Lower temp to ~325\u00b0F.\n- Time: ~5\u20136 minutes or until heated through.\n\n---\n\nIf you tell me the crust type (thin, regular, thick) or whether the pizza was refrigerated vs. room temp, I can adjust timing more precisely!"

Reheating a Thin Crust Slice (Room Temp)\n\n| What to Do | Setting | Temperature | Rack Position | Time |\n|------------|---------|-------------|----------------|------|\n| Reheat properly | **Air Fry mode** | 350\u00b0F (\u2248175\u00b0C) | Middle / Rack Position 2 | **3 minutes**; check\u2014add 1 more minute only if needed ([thepizzacraft.com](https://thepizzacraft.com/technique/how-to-reheat-pizza-in-air-fryer/?utm_source=openai)) |\n\n- **Why these settings**: Thin crust heats quickly\u2014the air fryer\u2019s circulating hot air crisps up base fast. Overheating turns crust too dark or dry. Starting with 3 minutes gives enough for cheese to melt and bottom to get crisp without burning. ([thepizzacraft.com](https://thepizzacraft.com/technique/how-to-reheat-pizza-in-air-fryer/?utm_source=openai))  \n- If toppings seem done but crust isn\u2019t crisped enough, you can slide out tray to inspect bottom, rotate slice or bake one more minute. Thin crust tends to overcook fast. ([thatpizzakitchen.com](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/how-long-to-cook-totinos-pizza-in-air-fryer/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## 2. How to Stop the TOA-60 Early (Before Timer Ends)\n\nIf you see your pizza is done before the timer counts down, here\u2019s what you do:\n\n- **Turn the timer dial back to \u201cOFF\u201d or \u201c0\u201d** \u2014 the TOA-60 uses a mechanical timer, so moving the timer dial off a time setting stops the cooking cycle immediately. ([toptenreviews.com](https://www.toptenreviews.com/cuisinart-air-fryer-mini-oven-review?utm_source=openai))  \n- Or **turn off the Function dial** (set it to \u201cOFF\u201d or a non-heating mode) \u2014 depending on your unit, this can also shut off the heating elements.  \n- In many cases, opening the door won\u2019t stop the timer itself\u2014but turning the timer off or function off does. Just be careful: with the door open, heat escapes and you could injure yourself. Use oven mitts.  \n- After verifying it\u2019s off, remove the pizza. Allow oven to cool briefly before cleaning. Always unplug if you want full shut-off is needed (rarely necessary).

([cuisinart.co.kr](https://www.cuisinart.co.kr/down/instructions.pdf?utm_source=openai))  \n- Flip or toss wings halfway (around the 10-minute mark) to crisp all sides. ([techradar.com](https://www.techradar.com/reviews/cuisinart-air-fryer-mini-oven-review?utm_source=openai))  \n\nIf your wings are frozen (solid, uncooked):\n- Let them thaw slightly (if possible), but you *can* cook from fully frozen\u2014just expect a slightly longer cook or less crisp unless you increase time or break them apart sooner. \n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\udd34 Is Turning the Timer Dial Left to \u201cOff\u201d Safe?\n\nYes \u2014 turning the **ON/OVEN TIMER** dial all the way counterclockwise (\u201cto the left\u201d) to the \u201cOFF\u201d or \u201c0\u201d position is how you stop the TOA-60 oven **before** the timer has naturally run down. ([toptenreviews.com](https://www.toptenreviews.com/cuisinart-air-fryer-mini-oven-review?utm_source=openai))\n\nDetails:\n- The TOA-60 uses a *mechanical timer* dial: set it clockwise to a time, and it starts counting down.\n- To stop early: turn that dial **back counterclockwise to zero (\u201cOFF\u201d)**. That immediately cuts power to the heating elements and stops heating. ([toptenreviews.com](https://www.toptenreviews.com/cuisinart-air-fryer-mini-oven-review?utm_source=openai))  \n- Some product videos/manuals note that turning the timer OFF or setting the function dial to OFF both work.

That immediately stops the cooking cycle and cuts power to the heating system. ([manualowl.com](https://www.manualowl.com/m/Cuisinart/TOA-60/Manual/508243?page=6&utm_source=openai))  \n- You do **not** need to adjust the Function or Temperature dials. Just setting the timer to OFF is sufficient. ([manualowl.com](https://www.manualowl.com/m/Cuisinart/TOA-60/Manual/508243?page=6&utm_source=openai))  \n\n### \u201cResistance\u201d When Turning the Timer\n\nFeeling resistance when turning the dial to OFF is **normal**. Here\u2019s why:\n\n- The timer dial is mechanical. It uses internal gears that click or offer some spring-back resistance. This feedback helps prevent accidentally moving the dial off your time. ([ifixit.com](https://www.ifixit.com/Wiki/Cuisinart_TOA-60FR_Troubleshooting?utm_source=openai))  \n- As long as it turns smoothly (after the resistance) into the OFF position, it\u2019s working as designed.\n\n### What to Avoid\n\n- Don\u2019t force the timer past the OFF marker\u2014it has a physical stop. Forcing it could damage the internal mechanism.  \n- Don\u2019t rely on shutting off only the Function or Temperature dial\u2014those alone might stop heating, but the timer mechanism is designed to end the cycle and signal with a ring when the time has elapsed. Turning timer OFF is the official method. ([manualowl.com](https://www.manualowl.com/m/Cuisinart/TOA-60/Manual/508243?page=6&utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can format this as a printable version you can stick beside the oven\u2014makes a good quick reference."
