The process of preparing small, easily handled sandwiches within a heated enclosure is a culinary technique applicable to a variety of ingredients. The objective is typically to achieve a uniformly cooked product, where the internal temperature of the protein component reaches a safe and palatable level, while the bun or bread maintains a desirable texture.
This method of preparation provides several advantages, including even heat distribution and the ability to cook multiple portions simultaneously. This is particularly beneficial for gatherings or situations where efficiency in food preparation is desired. Historically, this approach offers a consistent alternative to stovetop or grill cooking, providing a controlled environment for optimal results.
