👩🏻🍳Air Fryer Reheating Tips
- Store your grilled cheese in foil or an airtight container to ensure it doesn’t lose moisture while in the fridge.
- If you have the time, let the grilled cheese sit outside of the fridge for 10 minutes so it’s not going right from cold to hot which could cause uneven reheating.
- The sandwiches should be placed in a single layer in the air fryer basket to reheat evenly. If you have more than one sandwich, cook them in batches.
- If your grilled cheese is getting too crispy for your liking, lower the temperature to 325F and check it after a minute or two.
- Reheating times will vary depending on how many sandwiches you are reheating at once as well as the thickness of the sandwich.
