How to reheat sandwiches without drying

Gentle heat and moisture control

Reheat on low heat in a skillet or in a toaster oven to preserve texture. For sandwiches with cheese, cover the skillet briefly to help melting. If microwaving, use short bursts at reduced power and add a damp paper towel to retain moisture.

Reheating methods:

  • Skillet: low heat, covered for 2–4 minutes per side.
  • Toaster oven: 350°F for 5–8 minutes until warmed through.
  • Microwave: 50–70% power, 20–30 second intervals with a damp towel.

Tips:

  • Refresh greens and fresh toppings after reheating to restore brightness.
  • Avoid overheating as it can toughen proteins and dry bread.

Gentle, even reheating keeps sandwiches juicy and enjoyable.
