Sandwich Storage Showdown: 1 Day & 7 Day Tests!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 чер 2024
- This is a test I've considered for some time now: Which sandwich storage method keeps a sandwich freshest the longest, a sandwich bag vs sandwich container vs beeswax wrap. I tested them after 1 day and 7 days and here are my results.
To clarify, I did not mean to imply the bread was "toasted" but that it had the texture of being lightly toasted.

To keep them fresh I eat them, Best method thus far
But what if you need to take a sandwich somewhere for lunch? Also letting most deli sandwiches stand for an hour makes them much tastier.
@@skittlemenow that is a few hours not a day or a week putting them in anything and eating it for kuch the same day that still aflls under eating it to keep it fresh
Even if u eat them immediately, they still won’t be fresh for long 🥪 😅💩
Yea, no sandwich is safe around me outside of 24hrs, Max!
This was exactly what I was going to say, so good on you mate.
Ziplock, if you wrap your sandwich in a layer of paper towel first, it will absorb the moisture and not get funky so quick. An old trick from my mom.
Came here to say this^^^
My mom used to do this when I went to elementary school. Best method by far!
Can you imagine using that tech in a container? 🤯
That's what I do as well.👍🏻😊
Your mom's a smart lady!
Maybe a recommendation here for future tests on food:
I would’ve kept the lettuce away from the mustard in the sandwich, because the high salt content in the mustard draws the water out of the lettuce and causes the moisture & wilting to occur even faster.
Otherwise, Thank you for all of your thorough reviews as always James!
When I took sandwich's to work I would use the hard containers because it protects your sandwich as well.
I put them in a ziplock and then in the sandwich box. I don’t have to clean the box and it’s protected from getting squished. I think the lettuce is mostly responsible for the poor ziplock results. I like lettuce with sandwiches but don’t use it because I don’t like wilted lettuce.
@@FriedChairs some other comment suggested putting in a layer of paper towel first, it absorbs the moisture and helps with the overall freshness.
Yeah that's an extra benefit that I didn't highlight!
The plural of sandwich is sandwiches. No apostrophe is needed, unless the sandwich owns something.
yeah I used these square containers from IKEA and then could reuse them as refrigerator storage too
Have used the waxed cloth for sandwiches for years. They work great! It works no matter what shape of bread you use. I do always butter the inside of both slices (I'm German and butter is important!) and I don't tend to put lettuce on sandwiches. The important part is once you wrap the sandwich in the wax cloth, you've got to hold it, and gently squeeze the cloth and the warmth from your hands will seal the wax. 😊
I use the stomach method after making the sandwich I immediately store them in my stomach they usually keep there for about 12 hours
12 hours in your stomach? You better go see a doctor then.
yup, who da fk is making sandwiches and storing them in the fridge?
half the pt is it can be make in a couple minutes.
@@jamesbyrd3740this is for people who have jobs or go to school and have to take their lunch with them, people who work all week and have to prep meals ahead of time, busy adults who don't sit around all day on the couch watching TV and just go to make food when they're hungry, because they have shit to do, ever heard of that? Are you a small child, or you've just never left your house for anything before? 😂 Even as a child I had to learn how to make and store a sandwich for lunch, holy shit.
Due to time constraints, I generally make sandwiches for multiple days (4-5 days) and Sandwich construction is Everything.
Three major points:
• dry off deli meat with a paper towel prior to layering it on
• No condiments (mayo, mustard) on the bread, put these in between meat slices.
• ditch the lettuce, its too watery. If you want a green go with spinach or even Kale.
We like the lunch containers with the super flexy top
I also butter the bread: the fat prevents it from absorbing moisture from the filling.
don't make your sandwiches 4-5 in advance bro 💀💀💀
Just why.... How are you saving time doing this? Eating a week old sandwiches to save 5 minutes per week?
@@jamesbyrd3740 one I think you like to exaggerate a bit, 4 days is definitely not a whole week. Also apparently you are not the one making your sandwiches because you have no idea how long it takes to make a sandwich and get it wrapped up or stored into a container for the following day. Our lives are very busy and it does take quite a bit to get all the ingredients out of the fridge and organized over and over and over again each and every day. Your way, you dirty up multiple dishes unnecessarily. You put mayo on your sandwich? Well, that's five times someone has to wash it not including washing the counter top and any other utensils that is used. But, all in all, you do you.
@@3mar00ss6 do you keep lunch meat in your refrigerator for 4 days, maybe 5?
As someone that lives in the UK, the majority of us find it very strange that the majority of people in the US don't use butter in their sandwiches
Agreed. I can almost see it working with the mustard straight to the bread, but having the other side completely dry is very odd.
Wait wait wait. You're saying if you're just making a basic cold sandwich like turkey and cheese you're buttering the bread?
@@hanzo52281 yup. Bread, then butter, then condiments and filling.
A fair number of Americans do, but only when packing sandwiches to prevent condiments and juices from soaking into the bread.
Southern US here. This is the first time I've ever heard of someone putting butter on a sandwich other than grilled cheese.
To optimize the sandwich container, add a folded up piece of paper towel under the sandwich, and store your lettuce separately in a zip lock bag with as much air as possible removed (I use the rolling and then sealing method).
Lower the zip lock of lettuce (or anything) into a bowl or sink of water and then seal and you'll get an almost "vacuum" seal.
The "Mom of Many" (only had 1 but raised several) in me almost started twitching when you made them one by one 😅😂
Production line, baby 😂
Absolutely! Mom of one, but worked in home health care for decades; work smarter, not harder!
I just made sandwiches for my kids and myself. Production line all the way.
If you want to use a Ziploc but want a fresher sandwich, you can wrap the sandwich in a fresh paper towel before putting it in the Ziploc baggie. It's also best if you try to squeeze as much air out of the bag as possible when zipping it. And if you want non-wilted lettuce, the best thing to do is to get a leaf or two of lettuce, pat it dry, then wrap the leaves in a very lightly damp paper towel (can be the one you just used, as long as it's clean and barely damp.) Then put your paper towel-wrapped lettuce in its own separate baggie and only add it to your bagged sandwich when you're ready to eat! (I know this sounds like a lot, but if you are a "picky eater," putting a little more effort into prep can help you actually eat the lunch you packed rather than giving up and not eating or spending extra money on to-go food! Iykyk 😂)
I always wrap my kids sandwiches for school lunch in a paper towel before bagging them for this reason AND it makes slipping them into the bag easier plus then I know they will have a napkin
Thank you for this actually. I don't think i ever though about how to keep the lettuce well. I wish I'd known when my kid was tiny. ❤
I like the container for when I don’t want the sandwich to be crushed, but the beeswax cloth is nice too. I have a slightly smaller sandwich container from Tupperware that I got years ago. It’s only downside is that it’s sized to supermarket sandwich bread. Your container can hold a larger sandwich.
The beeswax wrap can accommodate any size/shape sandwich and the beeswax coating can be refreshed with the wax they included. When the cotton cloth is thoroughly spent, you can compost it. Those two win in my book. As for the condiments, I’d put them in a little separate container and spread them on before I ate my sandwich.
I bet this bugged James, I know he doesn't like wasting food lol
If James lived here in Illinois, I would have given the test sandwiches (minus the wilted lettuce) to the raccoons here every night. 🦝🦝🦝
@@rustynailmendlesohn8710You really shouldn’t feed pests or they will proliferate much quicker
@@CrossedCoder Sweetheart, one raccoon has a deformed/injured back left leg. I felt sorry for him/her in the cold Winter here. He/She is still alive now after 4 months. It brought a friend. Why don't you worry about World Peace instead of this. Geez
@@rustynailmendlesohn8710 If those raccoons transmitted rabies to a child, you would be okay with that? Please leave nature alone
Best solution, use the beeswax paper to wrap your sandwich before putting it into a container! 😁 I always use paper towel to wrap my sandwich but using the beeswax paper instead would reduce unnecessary waste and save some money. Thank you so much for this! ❤
That was interesting and fun. Thx for doing this, filming it and sharing it with us.
I've always used ziplock but am now reconsidering in lieu of the container. Never heard of beezwax paper.
It’s actually cotton cloth, not paper, and you can refresh the wax coating. Once you’ve thoroughly used it up, the fabric can be composted.
Bold of you to assume that the sandwich would even make it into a storage container in the first place LOL!
Kinda rude of you saying lol in a mean-spirited way.

Go to bed Kim, you don't understand youtube comments
@@XuroX. Nice comeback but I'm not a child and I do understand UA-cam comments. I thought they were mean to this youtube.
Video idea: A follow-up to this video on “freezing” slices of bread. Judging the “best” way to freeze and the “best” way to thaw the bread (or warm it back to the most natural tasting). 👍🏻
As someone who went to school to learn how to cook freezing bread may last longer but it takes something out of it like storing it in the fridge
I was really hoping he would freeze one and compare it the the rest. Oh well, maybe we'll get a follow up video after a couple of years?
That’s why I bought a food saver vacuum sealer. I don’t have any issues, freezing or thawing out my bread.
@@dcwatashi How do you generally thaw it out after putting it in the freezer with a food saver?
@@scottwhitlow8468 I take it out the day ahead, or I use the “defrost” option on the microwave, works very well. I keep it in the vacuum seal bag while it is in the microwave
I kept waiting for you to take a bite, James.😂 And I didn't know about bees wax until recently. It's a nice idea, I just wish it wasn't so expensive. I'd like to try them someday. I use Zip lock bags and plastic containers mostly.
I pack the sandwich ingredients separately and make it when im ready to eat it.
I'll put the mayo, mustard, cheese and meat on, and lettuce and tomato separately. The I went low carb and just take meat and cheese LOL
@@TracyKMainwaring My mother works at a cafeteria so I "aquire" packs of condiments. I have a 12 volt chiller in my work van I keep everything in.
I leave everything in it's original packaging and make the sandwich when I want to eat it.
A good way to keep things fresh in zip lock bags, is to leave a corner of the seal open so you can suck the air out, then rapidly seal that part.
Ziplocs work best if you wrap a half sheet of paper towel around the sandwich before sliding it (more easily, might I add) into the bag. Keeps the lettuce fresher too!
I really appreciate your thoroughness
Ive been using a straw to suck out all the spare air in a Ziploc bag since childhood. Yet to find something that works better.
I just use pressure.
Always a Ziploc bag so I ate my sandwich that day and if you’re worried about it, fold up the paper towel stick it in with there with it and it was soak up the moisture and always separate your lettuce and until you’re ready to eat it and then you put on your sandwich
Oh James, you waved that wilty lettuce around and didn't say, "blahhhh", lol! Great video as always James! Happy Tuesday from a snowy Iowa 🌨
Quick note for anyone using the beeswax cloth wrappers: do NOT wash them in very hot water - you’ll melt the wax!
If only Icarus had paid attention to that advice, he would not have had that falling out of the sky problem.
And never leave them on top of the toaster oven either! I mayyyy be guilty of leaving things on top when I'm not using it, and that's how I ruined mine☠
Thanks! I've always used ziplock bags for my sandwiches but it's good to know it doesn't work as well
Where does "7 days" come from? I don't understand why anyone would try to store a sandwich that long.
I do love beeswax wraps instead of plastic wrap. I barely use Saran wrap anymore. My sandwiches usually go in a little Tupperware sandwich clamshell because then it doesn't get squished in my lunch kit (Tupperware doesn't make them anymore because of the hinge).
the lettuce is wilted because it is in direct contact with mustard every time
that was a no brainer to me too. I didn't understand his surprise.
He apparently doesn't make sandwiches.
Exactly. It's.common sense.
Been using beeswax paper for years now for my sandwiches. (The advantage of them is also that they take less space to store than boxes). I make them the night before and store them in the fridge until the next day. They always feel as fresh as freshly made. also use such cloths for leftover baguettes. Keeps them soft longer than if you put them in a plastic bag
The lettuce has a high water content even if it is dried off first, so the bread will wick that into itself. Packing the sandwich without lettuce and adding lettuce when you go to actually eat the sandwich would no doubt be a much better option. Thanks for your reviews, :)
love your videos. The fact that you give a serious effort to test the stuff. love it.
so excited for this video!!
This was great!!! I use wax paper... would that be closer to the wax cloth probably?
What an informative test, using three rather common storage items gave such a range of results.
Whenever I need to fix a sandwich ahead of time, like the night before jury duty, I wrap the sandwich with a paper towel before sticking it into a zip-lock bag. The paper towel absorbs moisture via direct contact with the lunch meats and garnish that sticks out past the bread. The bread doesn't absorb as much of the moisture and doesn't get soggy. Before baggies were invented, there were wax paper sandwich bags that looked like long, thin shopping bags. You'd slide the sandwich inside then fold the excess over once or twice to seal it. Pretty sure that plastic wrap was used too but nobody liked using it.
Fun to watch. I know that it is impossible to do everything under the sun, but I was hoping you would have tested the vacuum seal method, mostly because it is supposed to preserve food longer :) I just love your videos, thank you. This is so much work and preparation, appreciated!
Putting sandwiches in ziplock bags or waxpaper works better if you squeeze out some of the air in the bags and wrap the waxpaper more tightly to make sure there's less air pockets.
It also depends on the freshness and type of bread too.
Awesome Video Bru ✌🏻♥️
And a pre made sandwich is usually meant to be eaten in 24 hours
In Germany we got "Frühstücksbeutel" (breakfast bags) which are the perfect size for a sandwich; they are made from very thin plastic (no ziplock, you just flip the end to loosely keep it closed or use a clip/tie to close it) that is breathable. So you have a fresh protected sandwich that's not wet from condensated water.
They are perfect (also very cheap and very little waste), I wonder why they aren't popular in the U.S.
Rip to those sandwiches 😢😢
Your background lighting is awesome.
My dad would wrap my sandwich in aluminum foil and then a paper towel and then he threw it into a Ziploc bag, all that for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich at 11 am ☠️
But did he spread the peanut butter on both pieces of bread so as to stop the jelly from soaking in?🤔 That’s how I do it anytime the pb&j isn’t getting eaten right away.
@@jonnyonwheels I assumed everyone spread peanut butter on both sides. If they don't their making the sandwich wrong
Way to k!ll the planet with waste. That’s a ridiculous amount of products to protect one sandwich
@@Sunshinebtfly98 eh both the paper towels and aluminum foil are recyclable and my family used useable baggies, Ziploc is just the name everyone calls plastic bags. Also I was in elementary school in the early 2000s it was common and so was wrapping your soda up in tin foil to keep it fresh and cool.
Having read through loads of comments, I am surprised that no one has mentioned cling film. When I worked, on Sunday before starting each weeks work I would wrap my sandwiches in cling film and store in the fridge, removing each of the day's packed lunch through the week.
Dude! What a great test! Thanks. I've been curious how the beeswax thing holds up since it became a popular thing. Never used it. Good to know.
Unrelated to the test, but for people who throw two slices of _any_ round cold-cut, cutting it in half and having the cut edge face the outside is pretty much ideal. For thinner stock, if it can keep folded then lacing the folded edge out does pretty much the same thing. For stuff that's twice the length of the bread, cut it in half; two slices gets pretty much the same result.
I use my stomach. Great storage container and it's with me wherever I go. 😀
These videos are so random, you are the only product review channel that doesn’t bore me.
Have you seen Project Farm's channel? His most recent was on toasters. But he's done tools of all sorts. Also not boring.
@@bikeny yeah I’ve heard of him but I don’t really need to know half the stuff he does.
Try the beeswax paper and then put it in the plastic container? Also very light, damp, paper towl, then in the container, always works, but my sandwich never have to wait long for me to devour them! Awesome video, God bless!
Glad to discover just how well the bees wax wrap works. I'm sold!
Iceberg lettuce is mostly water. I'd be interested in test results without the lettuce on the sandwiches.
Good experiment!
I never put the lettuce on a sandwich until I'm getting ready to eat it. Even if I make it in the morning and I'm gonna eat it at lunchtime always take the lead us in a separate container and put it on the sandwich because lettuce wilts really quickly.
We needed a 7 day control as well
Love beeswax wrapps. Don't use them for sandwiches though, mostly to wrap pre sliced apples.
Interesting tests. Have you ever done a test on the insulated/reusable sandwich bags? That might be interesting too.
I use the container but also put paper towel on the bottom to absorb excess moisture.
I've seen beeswax paper but never tried it myself. Nice to see it does work pretty well in one situation!
By the time Millineals get old, you will Be their Ron PoPeil or Shamwow guy. I bought the phone Clip Grip thing and wore my landline phone around my house for about a month in 1997. you are unstoppable.
Ronco: Just set it! And forget it!
I have a 2 piece plastic bread shaped box from TMNT, the top has a turtle face....I have had sandwiches last days in them with no issue in the fridge, and a PB&J will keep for a solid 12 hours out of the fridge before getting funky. I bought all 4 characters, I also use them to hold left over canned goods which works surprisingly well.
To prevent the condensation, wrap the sandwich with a paper towel, then use a baggie, or container.
I wonder if the fold-over sandwich bags are better than Ziploc? Because I get sandwiches from a local soup kitchen sometimes and they're just in the bags that fold over at the top, and I've kept some of those in my fridge for several days and the bread wasn't soggy and they tasted fine. Sometimes the mustard soaked through the bread some and made it a little too soft in the center, but that's all. The peanut butter and jelly sandwiches get stiff but if you warm it up a little they resoften. Maybe the full air tightness of the Ziploc while being in direct contact with the sandwich is what made it so soggy, and maybe that's why the beeswax works better like the container, because it's not as air tight while touching, and the container is air tight but not touching the sandwich on all sides trapping moisture against the bread. The combination of air tight and touching the whole surface of the sandwich seems to be what messes with its integrity the most. So the folding bags are probably better than locking zipper style for a sandwich if you don't have beeswax wraps or a container.
Standing in my kitchen after making a turkey sandwich with lettuce and provolone on white bread and was looking for something to watch, realized I hadn’t watched todays upload and what do you know, you’re making turkey sandwiches with lettuce and provolone on white bread.. only difference was I used McCormick mayonesa and you used mustard
Honestly I keep my sandwiches fresh by just making them when I want one. I don't think I've ever made one the day before. Even for school or work I would just make it the morning of... The problem I always had was how to keep it cool if you didn't have access to a fridge lol 😁👍
If you have a reusable lunch bag, there's these freezer brick packs that you can freeze at home and then place in your lunch bag to keep any perishable food cool while at work until you eat it. Works wonders.
@@SheldonJohnsonSydney Oh yeah, I did have some of those. Problem was my fault. I would forget to put them back in the freezer making them unusable for me lol. But you are right, those did work well 😁👍
@@SheldonJohnsonSydneyI have many reusable lunch bags (I’m female so really like the cute ones😁😁). And when I need to take a lunch I always have those freezer things available - they work very well
@@bradasstvJust keep more than enough for one day in your freezer - I also seem to forget to put them back, but when I do remember, into the freezer they go, ready for another trip!!!
As a guy that eats a pj sandwich everyday for breakfast and supper this is helpful!
I have a little vaccum pump and special containers that are made to be sealed with it. Works great!
Maybe don’t put the lettuce on the mustard side, put cheese on mustard side.. might work a little better, but maybe not …love the channel👍
If I must keep a sandwich overnight, I use parchment paper and a storage container (similar to Tupperware).
That should work!
I have containers since I was in Tupperware for a long time. But they take up space. I would go for the bee's wax wrapper nowadays. You can wrap different sizes of sandwiches. Baguette, oval shaped bread.or whatever you want.
When I used to take a sandwich to work. I'd bag up the different parts of the sandwich separately. Then pull all together at lunchtime. I don't like mustard, but I would use mayo instead, and we always had mayo in our work fridge. Now that I'm retired, I make up a sandwich fresh and eat it. I also like to toast the bread before making up the sandwich! In my book, fresh is best!!! 😃
I have never made a fresh sandwich to eat the next day so a little cling wrap or a ziplock works for me as an hour or two later it is still pretty much the same. When making sandwiches for work , I took all ingredients separately and made the sandwich there.
When you wonder what your grandparents did before zoplock, & rubbermaid they went with beeswax cloth, & canning jars. Its the eco friendly way if you care about that.
One of the sillier tests, I reckon. Obviously the clip lock container would be best - and just chuck it in the dishwasher for next time.
Dude, your reviews are great BUT I would not allow you to make my sandwiches or store my leftovers. For sandwiches you want to eat the next day, make them with super thin cheese slices on both pieces of bread then put the meat & condiments on the inside so the mustard doesn't make the meat soggy. And use a firmer lettuce - not a thin leaf lettuce. THEN wrap the sandwich in a half paper towel first. THEN put it in your container. I like beeswax the best.
lori its a test for a video. you arent special 🫵🤣
@@alpha42069 It's not a valid test if he makes the sandwiches in such a way that they are guaranteed to be soggy after a few hours.
@@alpha42069😂😂 thank you. Was thinking the same thing 😂😂
People ignore the costs of care for the container and the beebags. The difference isn't all that great, but it makes you feel better if you ignore most of the costs.
Try again with out the mustard. White bread highly is absorbent so it will absorb the moisture from the contents. Use sourdough lettuce and turkey. It will last much longer. The sandwiches you get at the deli that are premade won’t use white bread often and never have condiments added. Freshness is as important with container as contents. Something’s don’t store well together.
When I was working, I’d bring the makings of a sandwich and assemble during lunch. This way everything is fresh.
should have tried a vacuum sealer or a vacuum container. There are several on the market that have one way pumps built into the container. With the air vacuumed out, that sandwich would not only last longer, the lettuce likely would be wilted so fast.
Another thing that helps is the wait and put the mustard on just before you eat. The best way to do this is to take the little packets of mustard like you get with your food at McDonald's
Yay! No mayonnaise! Perfect. I'd like to also see you compare all of these to a silicone sandwich bag.
Interesting results for sure, but it would be interesting to see how all three performed with a room temperature sandwich after 8 hours. The differences might or might now be subtle, but that’s a very common real world use case for sandwich storage.
The next time you use the airtight containers use a napkin to put on the top of the bread and on the bottom of the bread so you will not get any condensation
I use silver foil, which seems to keep them pretty well. I've tried paper bags, but they just go soft which is fine for bread, but I like a crusty roll or baguette. I usually make mine in the evening for the next day, so are usually only in the fridge for a few hours. I've also tried the ziploc method, and found them to go soggy. I also put my lettuce or salad on the opposing side to the mayo/mustard, etc. as I don't like it soggy.
Overall, very fun vlog
A nice follow up video would be to put each sandwich into a lunchbox and see how they’re looking after being jostled around and squished in the lunchbox all morning until lunch time.
I store most food in bowls. A lot of ziplocks have pinholes or improper pinch locks.
I wish you could try to make a salad last longer in a fridge.
I buy spring mix salad and after 3 days it starts getting moist and soggy.
I even lay paper towel on it and shut the lid but useless.
Just watched the lates episode of "sandwiches of history". Then this pops up couldn't be better synergy if it was planned.
I wonder if the acidity of the mustard broke down the cell structure of the lettuce, causing it to wilt in every case. Maybe the lettuce would've stayed at least a little crisper if placed against the bread with no mustard. Did Bailey get to eat the lunchmeat?
I literally have the sandwich container. Had have it for a few years and use it for all kinds of foods lol
Out of complete curiosity, I do wonder how well that container holds liquids since it claimed to "prevent spillage"... maybe not soup levels of liquid but certainly if it can prevent anything regarding it.
I pack my lunch cooler for next day while cooking my dinner. Paper towel wrapper sandwich in a ziploc works just fine for me.
Love all the comments. Some useful, some not so much. I make it and eat it. Thanks for
the video James. Enjoy the rest of your evening. 🤗🤗
I use my Foodsaver vacuum sealer with the sandwich box designed for it. This method makes them into twinkie like sandwiches that will last through the apocalypse. :D
That bread looks like it'll never get moldy.
Would have been interesting to see how the pre-60's stand-by, wax paper, would have held up in the competition.
Definitely confirmed what I've always known, lettuce doesn't hold up longer than a couple hours in a refrigerated sandwich.
I have kept sandwiches fresh in Ziplock bags for 10 to 14 days with no problems.
I keep my ingredients separate until its time to eat them. At lunch, assemble then eat. Best way ever.
If find keeping the sandwich ingredients seperate in plastic bags in hard container works best. Use factory portion and packaged meat put entire sealed package in a bag or rinse it cause you don't know who or what else has touched it. Put in bread. Then put lettuce in a bag. A small squeazy bottle or two of condiment(s). Or use a container that has multiple compartments if you don't want to waste plastic.
