Hot Sandwiches
for Cold Days
Serve your family hot sand
wiches for lunch on cold winter
days. With a microwave, it’s a
snap! And it’s a sneaky way to use
up leftovers, too!
Here are some hints for heating
your own concoctions, and a few
new sandwiches to try:
- When making hot meat
sandwiches, hot dogs, etc. use a
two-step method to keep the rolls
or bread from getting hard or
rubbery. Heat the meat first, by
itself. After the meat is hot,
assemble the sandwiches, adding
other ingredients as desired. Top
with bread or roll and heat for 10 to
20 seconds per sandwich to heat
sandwich through.
- When reheating meat,
arrange slices or pieces in a ring
around a plate, and cover with
waxed paper. Heat on medium
(50,5) power, or use defrost (30,3)
to warm the meat. The time
depends on how much meat you
have, so check it frequently. Using
a lower power setting for the meat
keeps it from getting tough and
dried out.
- When using cheese in a hot
sandwich, add it after meat, etc. is
hot, and heat just until the cheese
softens. Cheese gets rubbery and
stringy if overcooked.
Bread and rolls will be quite
soft and moist when warmed in the
microwave. If you want crispier
bread for your sandwiches, toast
the slices in a toaster first.
To keep the bread or rolls on
your sandwiches from getting
soggy, place them on (or wrap
them in) a paper towel or napkin.
Or, heat the sandwiches-on a meat
rack, such as a bacon cooker.
Try these “leftover-wiches”
when you need to use things up!
Put hot meatloaf slices on a
hamburger roll, add a slice of
cheese and warm until the cheese
melts. Or top the meatloaf with
leftover spaghetti sauce.
Top a sliced egg sandwich with
mustard and a slice of cheese and
warm it up. This makes a quick
breakfast for someone on the run.
Fill pita pockets with shredded
meat and cheese, or roll thinly
sliced meat and cheese in a tortilla
for variety. Both these can be
prepared ahead of time and frozen.
To heat a frozen sandwich, wrap it
in a paper towel and microwave 30
seconds on high. Then microwave
on medium (50,5) for about a
minute until the cheese is hot.
Use split English muffins for
open-faced hot sandwiches. Toast
first if desired.
These hot sandwiches are. hearty
enough to make a quick supper, as
well as a filling lunch. The first two
are variations on that old standby,
Sloppy Joes.

Chore-Time was first with a confinement turkey feeder, while others were trying to sell you
made-over range feeders. We’ve kept improving on our idea. Now, Chore-Time’s Turkey Feed
ing Systems are the standard of the world. No other equipment even comes close in feed conver
sion features, in ruggedness, in ease of operation. That’s why growers who have Chore-Time say,
“Nothing else works like a Chore-Time system.” Before you buy, consider the facts about Chore-
Time’s unique Model ATF Adult Turkey Feeder, plus our starter and grower systems;
