Many people opt to use the microwave when reheating their pretzels and it is the quickest way to get this food heated up.
The whole process will take a couple seconds and we will explain how to do it properly below:
Steps:
- Place the soft pretzel in a microwave safe plate or container.
- Microwave the pretzel for around 10-15 seconds or till warmed up to your liking. This should be done at the medium setting.
- Once fully reheated, take out and enjoy.
Reheating Frozen Pretzels
If you have homemade or store bought (Auntie Anne’s, yum) soft pretzels that you have frozen for future use, reheating them is quite simple.
Frozen pretzels hold up really well in the freezer and it is a good storage option if you made a batch of soft pretzels or have a lot of store bought left over.
When it comes to reheating frozen pretzels, the most important thing to do is allow the food to defrost/thaw out before reheating.
You can let the frozen pretzels sit at room temperature to fully thaw out. Once defrosted, you can use either the microwave or oven/toaster oven to reheat them (we highlighted the process for both above).
