sandwich toaster

This is the thingy I meant.

I flatten the toast bag a bit then put it in the toaster open side upright it works fine no spillage. I have just an average four slice Brabantia toaster and I use toast bags in my George Forman grill.

Joseanne you put your sandwich in the Dualit toasting cage after buttering it on the outside - panic will this ruin the toaster, double check instructions, this is definitely what it says, ok give it a try. So insert cage at top of toaster opening, press handle and in it goes as it just fits. When it’s done you may need to lift the knob up as the weight is a little heavy for ordinary automatic lift.

Has the butter smeared everywhere, has melted cheese spewed out? No the butter has gone into the bread and helped it brown. Any cheese fall out is in the bottom of the cage in the metal trough.

BTW Going back to bags, they generally tell you not to butter inside the sandwich.

I don't understand how you can get a sandwich bag in a toaster. My toaster holds two single slices of bread but a sandwich would never fit.

You can buy “ thick & thin “ toasters which adjusts to the thickness of the bread .so will take sandwich toaster bags . Think most toasters have this facility these days so can accommodate everything you want toasted .

We have a breville sandwich toaster which I bought to replace the previous one I had for over 30 years ! It wipes clean but the places are also removeable if you wish to give them a thorough clean .

Thank you 25Avalon.

We've no room for extra toasters. We make toasties easily. Aluminium pan, melt butter, add bottom bread, add fillings, add top bread, butter top bread. Flip when colour we prefer, finish cooking 2nd slice, serve.

I use a George Foreman health grill. Make the sandwich, don’t butter the outsides, and pop in the grill. Cooks quickly and is easy to clean.
Obviously you can use it for healthy grilling too 😂😂

I do this too. The George foreman is older than most of my children!

I have a George Foreman too, and think it makes the best toasties. I also have the cages for the toaster, and use them for things like crumpets and muffins which would be difficult to get out of the slots without them.

I love grated cheese, onion and apple ones. You just grate everything and mix it together (you can bind it with a bit of mayo if you like, but it's fine as it is), make a sandwich and toast. I butter the outsides of toasties as it makes them crisper, but it's up to you.

I used Aldi's Thins in the Crimpit and wonder of wonders they fitted in my Dualit. Still have lots of recipe testing to do yet though.
