How to keep trays of sandwiches cold.?

Question

I am hosting a wedding reception and have hired people to make sandwiches. The reception hall does not have a kitchen so I have to stage and keep 160 deli sandwiches cold for several hours before they will be eaten. I'm worried about them getting soggy-any advice out there??

Answer 1

Place the sandwiches on a try- Line it with Kitchen paper first-place the sandwiches one on top of each other- Once you have a pile of 10 sandwiches( plate should be high enough so the sandwiches do not topple- take a real clean  light towel rinse it in COLD water- squeeze off the  water and  lay it over the sandwiches covering the  whole platter-Pl see that the towel is just damp. Now cover that with CLING film- This will help to retain the moisture- Now safely keep it in the fridge

You will find the bread used will be very fresh and it will be  as if the sandwiches were made just moments before!

All the  best for the Wedding reception
