4. Whenever possible, heat the sandwich filling
before spreading it inside the bun or on other
bread. Then heat the entire sandwich, until the
bun is just warmed.
5. Sandwiches having a "thin" layer of filling will
heat faster than sandwiches with thicker fillings.
When heating meat sandwiches, use thin,
rather than thick, slices of meat.
Sandwiches Cooking Guidelines
1. Sandwiches are generally heated on full power.
2. Sandwiches should be placed on a microwave-
safe paper towel, or on a plastic or ceramic rack
during heating to prevent the bottoms from
becoming soggy.
3. To heat sandwiches in buns, bagels, or
croissants, heat the bottom half of the bread
and filling. Add the top of the bread during the
last 10 to 30 seconds of heating time.
