How to reheat a Croquette without it getting soggy Yesterday, I had to prepare some croquettes and transport them. I thought there would be no problem to reheat them in a toaster oven. However, the croquettes turned out soggy. The flavor was alright, but the texture was off.

I thought that would happen in the microwave, not in a toaster.

Any suggestions on how to reheat a fried food item?

Cheers.

Edit: Such a lot of questions, and good ones. I guess the problem really was that the toaster was closed so moist couldn't escape.
As this basically got answered through questions in the comments, I'll collect up all of the various problems that might help prevent the sogginess:


After frying, allow the croquettes to cool on a wire rack, so they don't get moist as they give off steam.
Reheat first at a lower temperature to heat through, then turn it up the temperature to regain the crunch &amp; get any extra browning.
Make sure when reheating that they aren't packed too tightly, and if possible, heat on a wire rack rather than a pan.
If reheating in a small but tightly-sealing oven, try cracking the door slightly so as to prevent humidity buildup.


(anyone who has any other suggestions, feel free to add 'em)
