Sandwiches That Stay Fresh All Day—Here’s How

Start with crusty bread or toast your slices to keep things from getting soggy. Trust me, it makes a huge difference. Butter the inside of your bread before adding anything else. It acts as a barrier against moisture, especially if you’re packing lettuce or tomatoes. Put your condiments in the middle—never right on the bread. Layer them between meats or cheese to keep the bread dry. If you’re using juicy ingredients like tomatoes, pack them separately and add them right before eating. Wrap your sandwich in parchment paper or waxed paper, not plastic. It keeps the bread from getting too soft but still holds everything together. If you’re not eating right away, stash your sandwich in a container and keep it cold with an ice pack. No one likes a warm, soggy sandwich! #SandwichTips #LunchHacks #FreshFood #Food #Cooking
