Once the sandwich has exited the oven, what should you do?

Using the spatula to place the sandwich in a basket is the best practice after the sandwich has exited the oven. This method ensures that you do not risk burns from the heat of the sandwich or the oven, as the spatula allows you to maintain a safe distance from the hot surface. Additionally, using a spatula minimizes the risk of damaging the sandwich, helping to keep its structure intact while transferring it to the basket. This technique promotes hygiene, as it reduces direct hand contact with the food item, which is important in a food preparation environment.
