Reheating Leftovers in a Toaster Oven

The microwave makes leftovers rubbery and soggy. A toaster oven brings them back to life — crisp edges, melty middles, like they were just made. Here's how.

The No-Soggy Method

• Skip the microwave for anything that should be crisp — pizza, fried food, bread.
• Reheat at a moderate temp (325–350°F) so the outside crisps while the inside warms through.
• Set food on the tray or a little parchment; a piece of foil laid loosely on top keeps delicate items from over-browning.
• Warm just until heated through — overdoing it dries things out.

Quick Reference

For meat and poultry, warm until steaming hot all the way through (165°F is the safe mark).
