Two weeks ago my husband and grandsons came home from a robot
fight (don’t ask) with some bagels and a tub of cream cheese. They’d grabbed
breakfast at Einstein on their way to the event, and their leftovers were in
the car ALL DAY LONG. Temperatures were in the thirties most of the day, and the
cream cheese seemed okay. But the bagels were hard as rocks. (Memo: the driest
environment you’re likely to meet is inside your car. I’ve used mine to make
sun-dried tomatoes and fruit leather.) If you have dried-out bagels, you can LIGHTLY
toast them to make them edible. If they’re too gone for that, wrap each bagel
in a damp paper towel and microwave 10 to 20 seconds. Or, you can preheat the
oven to 350F, run a bagel under HOT water, and bake 5 minutes. With each of
these methods, you must eat the bagel immediately. Otherwise, just bin it.
