How do I stop my sandwich from going soggy?

fold a bit of kitchen roll round it before you wrap in in foil or clingfilm

or put the roll in the bottom of the box.

the kitchen roll will soak up the condesation.

When I take a sandwich to work, I always pack the bread separately from all the fillings & then just assemble it at lunch time, because I also hate soggy bread, of course. Or, you could probably just leave out the tomato & lettuce & add them at lunch time, since they're the most moist things you have listed there. And you could keep a jar of mayo, mustard, whatever condiments you like on your sandwich in the fridge where you work, so you don't have to bother with that every morning.

How to Prevent Soggy Sandwiches:

Steps:

• Put a single layer of deli meat on each slice of bread and spread the condiments on those. The meat creates a barrier between the bread and the rest of the ingredients. You can stuff more slices of meat in the middle if you want.

• Just pack the separates and make the sandwich at work. We've done this, too, with success. Bread goes in one bag or container, meat and vegetables in another. A little dollop of mustard and mayonnaise go on the edge of one container (or maybe you have packets of those in your office snack room).

• Set tomatoes, pickles, or other drippy ingredients on paper towels while you make the rest of the sandwich. It helps cut down on some of the excess moisture that might otherwise get absorbed by the bread.

• Use cheese as a barrier. Same idea as with the deli meat—and works for vegetarian sandwiches.

Iread 9 of the 'soggy sandwich' answers. All good solutions. Here's mine: At home, slice up a nice size tomato. Place the slices on a paper towel and place in micorwave for 3 minutes, microwave set on medium. then remove the tomato slices and place in container and keep them in refrigerator. When ready to make sandwich, use these ready-sliced tomato's. You will find that they feel slighter dryer than afresh sliced tomato. they are. But still soft and delicious on a sandwhich. And no leaky tomato liquid to make the sandwich soggy.

The way you stop it is this------

Wrap your sandwich in a paper towel before putting it in a plastic sandwich bag. What this does is it "wicks' up the moisture from the sandwich that would normally condense on the walls of the sandwich bag.

As an extra stop-gap measure, dont put the tomatoes on the sandwich until you are ready to eat it. Those suckers are the most moisture laden of all the ingredients of your sandwich...

The best way is to bring two separate containers. One for the buttered bread, the other for the sliced vegetables. Then just assemble the sandwich at work.

Take the tomato slices separately, wrapped in foil and add to the sandwich just before eating. Also make sure that you dry the lettuce after washing it.

Also, try toasting your bread a little before making your sandwich. But definately take the tomato off, and put any condiments on side too.

Butter the bread, put the lettuce on the bread first, then the tomatoes and wrap it in the lettuce. Top with whatever but don't cut it until you go to eat it. That's how my mum used to do it when I was at school :)

Yeah, take your tomato slices to work in a small plastic bag and wait until it's time to eat to put it on. The juice from the 'mater is making your sandwich soggy.

pack the tomato and lettuce in a lil tub and add them just before you ear your sandwich.
