Im talking about these Beauties. They are like 20€ and they can package just about everything into a sand which.
You want to make Egg Benedict to go, but don’t want the cleanup? Throw it into a sand which maker, the sauce won’t leak a bit. You want to make chicken bits with curry sauce? You can. Hamburgers? Salad with ceasar sauce? A simple cheese and ham sand which? Yes, yes and yes. If you wanna try you can make doners that don’t leak everywhere. And all that, once again,with 2 slices of toast and a device smaller than a microwave
Words cannot express how much I hate these. As soon as I saw the image, I recoiled.
No offense to your preferences of course
the ones with the diagonal crease are just awful.
just use a knockoff george foreman or toaster oven.
But why?
it turns the bread into a weird texture, and reduces all the ingredients into a mush/sheet (which is cool if you like that)
Like I said, the sandwhich maker is not about making something delicious, I kinda see it like I see these randomly flavoured freezer food. Yes, it tastes like shit and dosent taste like the original dish at all, but does it taste kind of like an Egg Benedikt while being something you can take with you in a lunchbox? Yes.
helluva url there
I’d suggest just getting a normal panini press instead, it’s what every kitchen I’ve ever worked in has used. For a rule of thumb, the less specialized your kitchen gadget is, the more dependable it’ll be.
Yep the flat hotplate style ones are much more versatile than the ones with pre-set sandwich grooves ime
Hands are my sandwhich maker
Hands dont seal your Sandwhiches Airtight
My mouth does though
The Tracy Jordan Meat Machine takes bread out of the equation!
Oh I love this thing, we have had three over the years because it wears out pretty fast in a family of sandwich people.
I love doing ones with avocado. Tomato+mozzarella+basil is also amazing. Salsa type stuff also great.
And a sweet version with nutella and berries/fruit or such is so good too. Throw some ice cream on it and it’s a great treat.
i got something like that but just for eggs. it makes 1 egg
anyways i just use a pan to make grilled snadwiches and the pan isnt inhibited if i bake bread and its of a nonstandard size
what a waste of money and countertop space
A pressed sandwich can be great! I prefer the kind wrapped in parchment paper and pressed with weight, myself (cold sandwiches). Or the kind where you just put another (cast iron) pan on top while frying it.
I’m intrigued. I tend to shy from dumbass kitchen gadgets but am also a sucker for convenience
but why not get a real toaster oven, which is much more versatile?
one of these:
or one of these, if you like that retro east german feel:
I’ll enjoy one every now then if it’s in a hotel room or something, the toasties they make are tasty and easy to eat. But, on top of just not wanting more gadgets, I
- a) don’t buy the “doesn’t make a mess now” argument, because to use these you have to leave a decent unfilled margin around the edge anyway. Otherwise you make a mess. and
- b) have never seen them work well with actual bread, just the spongey factory shit. I’d be more interested if there’s a recipe for bread that will play nice.
