Check before you buy

Sodium per serving. Compare the milligrams of sodium per sandwich on the label. Breakfast sandwiches vary widely and are often a large share of the daily value. Sodium is the biggest hidden cost of most frozen breakfast items.
Reheat method. Check whether the box gives microwave-from-frozen instructions or calls for thawing or an oven. Microwave-only results decide whether the product is practical on a weekday.
Internal temperature. Reheat precooked meat and egg items to 165°F (74°C). This is the standard food-safety reheating guideline for cooked leftovers and precooked foods.
Freezer storage. Store at 0°F (-18°C) or below and use within the best-by date. Freezer burn ruins bread and egg texture well before the food becomes unsafe.
