How to Steam a Sandwich
Grilling a sandwich can leave the inside contents only somewhat warm, especially if you prefer a shorter cooking time with slightly browned bread. However, steaming a sandwich prior to grilling it can result in a hot and moist interior. There may be occasions when steaming should be avoided, such as when you want to maintain the integrity of the ingredients inside. For example, if you want fried chicken strips to stay crunchy or lettuce to remain crisp, steaming the whole sandwich is not the way to go.
