The most commonly used method for reheating sandwiches is the microwave. It is convenient and gets the job done quickly enough. However, it is also the worst one you can choose because it will make the sandwich soggy and unevenly heated. So what’s the best one?

The Problem

When we start eating a sandwich, the plan is usually to finish it in one sitting. But it isn’t uncommon that something distracts us, and we have to abandon it halfway through. There are even occasions when we don’t even get to bite into it and have to leave it for another time.

Once we return to our sandwich, we are faced with a dilemma: to reheat it or to eat it as it is. Now, some people don’t care whether their sandwich is hot or cold; they just dive straight into it. But there are plenty of those who prefer their sandwiches warm, even if it’s a leftover one.

Microwaving is the quickest solution but it never gives great results. So what can you do instead?

Best Way to Reheat a Sandwich

The internet agrees that the best way to reheat your sandwich is by using your oven. This gives the best and most consistent results and is hassle-free.

The first thing you need to do is preheat your oven to 325F. Then you wrap your sandwich in an aluminum foil and pop it into the oven. The foil will prevent the sandwich from becoming soggy or too dry and will allow for even reheating. Take the sandwich out after 15 to 20 minutes, and you’re good to go.
