How Should Pillsbury Crescent Rolls Be Reheated? Three Methods Explained

Pillsbury crescent rolls are a true delicacy that can be made in a matter of minutes. They are simple to prepare and much more wonderful since they are pre-made pastries. Even though they taste great cold, they lack the smoothness and richness that they have while heated. So, how should Pillsbury crescent rolls be reheated?

Pillsbury crescent rolls may be reheated in the oven, microwave, or slow cooker. Choose your warming technique carefully, since not all reheating machines perform equally well when reheating Pillsbury crescent rolls.

Pillsbury crescent rolls are a specific form of pastry that requires extra care to reheat correctly. Many appliances will also dry them out. In the following sections, I’ll describe how to reheat Pillsbury crescent rolls and which appliances are ideal for the job.

How to Reheat Pillsbury Crescent Rolls?

Because Pillsbury crescent rolls are comprised of flaky dough, they only keep their shape nicely while heated.When chilled, they become incredibly sensitive and crumble easily. They’re still delicious, but the lack of consistency may hinder you from really savoring them.

Because of the uniqueness of the dough, not all ways of reheating Pillsbury crescent rolls will work. Some appliances also dry out these pastries, exacerbating the situation. To reheat your Pillsbury crescent rolls and restore their former grandeur, find a technique that not only reheats them but also retains their moisture.

To keep the moisture level maintained and soften the Pillsbury crescent rolls even more, use additional equipment such as paper or cotton towels.

The Oven 

When it comes to reheating pastries, there is a basic guideline that applies especially to Pillsbury crescent rolls.The easiest approach to reheat pastry is to utilize the same device that you used to create it in the first place.

When it comes to reheating Pillsbury crescent rolls, the oven should be your first choice. The oven air is dry, yet it is a form of air and temperature that does not dry out the Pillsbury crescent rolls.

Do not preheat the oven before adding the Pillsbury crescent rolls; instead, allow them to reheat gradually while the oven heats up.Spread a generous coating of butter on the Pillsbury crescent rolls and cover with a moist cotton towel.

Preheat the top and bottom heaters in the oven. Set the temperature to 150 C (300 F). Bake for 10 minutes, then check the Pillsbury crescent rolls.

Uncover just enough to extract one Pillsbury crescent roll and evaluate how you like the results. If you enjoy how your Pillsbury crescent rolls came out, keep them on the cotton towel for a few minutes longer before eating. Return them to the oven for two to three minutes longer, but then switch off the oven.

The Microwave

The second best method to reheat Pillsbury crescent rolls is in the microwave.However, if you are not cautious, the Pillsbury crescent rolls will dry out and become irreparable. To make this strategy work, make sure you follow the directions exactly.

Before you begin reheating the Pillsbury crescent rolls, smear them with butter. The butter will add moisture and taste to the dish. Place them on a platter that can be microwaved.

Wrap each roll in baking paper or cover the whole dish of Pillsbury crescent rolls with a wet cloth. Choose a cloth large enough to wrap around the whole dish, not just the Pillsbury crescent rolls.

To prevent dry microwave air from infiltrating the Pillsbury crescent rolls, trap the towel ends under the spot. Set the stopwatch to 30 seconds.

If your Pillsbury crescent rolls look good, leave the towel on or cover them in parchment paper for a few more minutes before diving in. If you wish to keep warming them up, set each subsequent cycle to five seconds. After 30 seconds, remove the Pillsbury crescent rolls from the microwave and unwrap or uncover one to determine whether you are satisfied with the outcome.

The Slow Cooker 

The slow cooker may also be used, but as with the microwave, you must use caution.This procedure may be used with or without butter. I like to add butter, but you don’t have to if you don’t want to or don’t have any on hand.

Place a moist cotton towel on the slow cooker tray before adding the Pillsbury crescent rolls. Cover the Pillsbury crescent rolls with another moist cotton towel after placing them immediately on the towel.

Set the slow cooker to warm so that the heat gradually penetrates the Pillsbury crescent rolls. If you set the slow cooker to high, the Pillsbury crescent rolls will dry out because both towels will dry rapidly, leaving too little time for the Pillsbury crescent rolls to absorb the liquid.

How to Make Hard Pillsbury Crescent Rolls Soft Again?

To soften hard Pillsbury crescent rolls, spread them with butter and place them in the oven. You may also use olive oil, but don’t use too much; just a little brushing over them.The oil approach works best if the Pillsbury crescent rolls are placed in a pan and warmed on the stove. Warming your Pillsbury crescent rolls on the stove is not ideal, so avoid it if possible.
