If I cook a poptart in the toaster and then let it sit for 3 hours and it gets cold again, is it in the same state as it was prior to me cooking? Can I re-cook it?

if you put a piece of bread in the toaster and toast it, does it revert back to bread 3 hours later, or is it just cold toast?

Each time you toast it, it loses some moisture.

Retoast it too many times and you end up with a desiccated pop tart flavored wafer board.

Once it's been toasted once, you're probably better off reheating it in the microwave, using a wax paper baggie to minimize dry-out.

Re-heating it a 2nd time, will turn your pop tart into a brick. Try it and see.

If you cook a steak does it revert back to a cow 3 hours later? What if its bulk?

to be fair, the poptart is fully cooked. You just put it in the toaster to heat it. I've never tried but from the replies here sounds like it dries out.

Just don't put it in a microwave. When I was in a college dorm the microwave directions were "Do not microwave". Now they read microwave for 3 seconds... So yea when I miced it for 45 seconds it caught fire O.O

The real question is, why are you bothering to cook a poptart? Just eat it out of the box.

Only thing I hate about cooking pop tarts is having to wait for the oven to preheat.

little known fact: refrigerated poptarts are pretty awesome.

it's rare for me to have a poptart at all, but when I do get the craving and buy a box, it's usually brown sugar or cherry.

I've had one catch fire in the specified three seconds.
