Avoiding dry spots in french toast
💡 Method reminders
- •Store french toast in shallow portions so reheating stays even the next day.
- •Use the method that matches the texture you want back from french toast.
- •Stop reheating as soon as the center is hot so french toast does not dry out.
❌ Common misses for this method
- •Very high heat from the start if french toast is dense or sauce-heavy
- •Overcrowded pans or baskets that trap steam around french toast
- •Repeated reheats of the same portion
