Go veggie: If you're looking for a healthier option, try toasting your uncrustable with a light drizzle of vegetable oil. Avoid the microwave: Trust us, you don't want to microwave your uncrustable. The microwave will only make it rubbery and unenjoyable to eat. No high fructose corn syrup: If you're looking for the best flavor, avoid using toasters that have high fructose corn syrup in the non-stick coating.
