Reheating a Pretzel
I bought a large soft pretzel at a pretzel shop yesterday. When you buy them, they are warm and soft. What's the best way to reheat it so that it's as though I just bought it?
Best Answer
It'll never be the same as when it's new. The closest I've ever seen is a method often used for good bagels: put in paper bag with a bit of water and nuke it. Basically just reheat it with a lot of humidity.

But as pretzels don't last much more than a day anyway, you don't need to worry about them going moldy. As part of my experiment, I put one pretzel in the fridge wrapped in plastic wrap. After 24 hours it was super hard and barely improved after I reheated it. I don't recommend it.How do you keep soft pretzels soft?
Keep it in a paper bag Paper bags are preferable to plastic bags, as these allow the moisture to escape.

Answer 3
Actually, you can make your pretzel as nice as it was when purchased fresh. First set it on a piece of tin foil large enough to completely wrap it. Second, add about 1 table spoon of water per pretzel then wrap as tightly as possible.
Proceed to place pretzel in oven at 250 degree for about 20 minutes.
There you have it. Your pretzel like new.
