Best way to restore crispyness to egg rolls?

I'm planning on giving away a few batches of home made egg rolls and was wondering about a quick way to restore the crispiness that is lost after being sealed in a plastic container for a while.

My way so far is to warm them up in the microwave until the insides are warm, then refry them in a pan with a little oil.

Anyone have a quicker, simpler method? Think the oven might work? Maybe set it to broil?

I guess toaster oven would probably work. The whole "fry them in a pan" idea is a bit too much work if you're only planning on eating one or two of them. The closest I can come to duplicating a toaster oven is using a real oven set to broil. I'll have to give that a try and see how it goes.

edit: And yes, egg rolls do rock. :D

only in the oven can you achieve the crispiness once again.

added bonus: oil drips off too. if you get super adventrous, you can roll the now recrispy egg roll in paper towels to get the oil off from the deep fry.

toaster oven. microwave it for ~20 secs to get the bone-chill out of the center, then throw it in for a couple minutes @ 350 F.
