Here's a tip for reheating popovers:
Preheat your oven to 450, put the popovers in (loose or on a baking sheet - but not in the pans) and bake for just about a minute, turn the oven off, and let them sit inside for a couple more minutes. Cool for 1 minute before eating.
This will not "re-pop" the popovers - but the high heat followed by a short cooling procedure will crisp the outside, as well as heating the inside. They are still delicious!
Note that this method works pretty well with other crispy-outside breads, such as biscuits, scones, and bagels. Even a one-or-two-day old crusty loaf! Try it! In that case, since it is larger, give it a little longer in the high heat, and a little longer cooling.
and, indeed, other breads that you want crispier on the outside.
Nice tip! Thanks for sharing, Lori - PJH
