Seats four, easy clean hinges and all that shit. You can even get a deal on this book:

However, not as good as this Japanese jobbie, which is probably far more efficient and doesn't leak cheese at awkward moments. I give you the Nikai Japan Sandwich Maker 4 Slice:

Toasties? Love 'em.

I lived on toasties for a while I was a student.  My favourites were tuna (sounds odd, but it works), cheese ham and mushroom and BLT, but the absolute dog's bolllocks of toasties is the cheese, beans and marmite.

A great idea and toasties are the nuts, but it will be used a handful of times and then sit in the cupboard.

Cheese ham and beans for me   :I'm a complete mofleakin Deak

Classic dust gatherer. Put it next to the bread maker and soda stream.

Nightmare to clean. Once the novelty wears off, like others have said, it will be in the cupboard.

I've got one. I still use it once every fortnight or so.

They're not that hard to clean Sippo. Trick is to put a bit of butter on the outside of the bread, the toastie comes out easier then.

Not nightmare as in hard, just tedious I think...

This.

The butter also makes the bread crispier when it comes out. Cheese and beans toasties are the bomb.

Easy to clean, just go over with a damp sponge whilst still warm.

:soapy tit wank:

Bread makers! Does anyone buy one then keep using it regularly?

My parents do, fresh loaf everyday.

That's a good tip that I have used on various women over the years.

Nope, but I do occasionally ake my own bread.

On women whilst still warm? That very much implies that their warm status, while in your company, is temporary. What the hell do you do to them TT?

He wipes them with a damp sponge, that's probably the mood killer.

Oi, I have built up rather a nice collection in the cupboard under my stairs, thank you very much.

ditto.

i find the things a pain in the arse to clean too.cheese melts all over the sides and back and it's more trouble than it's worth.
i use my george forman grill now instead,but the results aint quite as good.

^ this.

Spent £40 on mine, I used it three or four times, forgot to clean it after the last use... sat gathering dust and god knows what inside.

Cheese n tomato... (watch your tongue!)

Ah, that's why I am going for the most expensive one I can find - hopefully the cheese will stay in. My good lady lobbed the last one for precisely your pain in the arse reasons.


Ha - I found an industrial version of that yesterday on eBay, £1,800 a pop. Cooks bacon in five seconds...  :eek:


I think leaving it visible on the worktop and hence in children's sight goes a long way to keeping it in regular use. Out of sight out of mind...yep, soda streams, bread makers and I would also add fondue sets...

I find the old George Forman does a decent toastie and all of the overspilt cheese runs nicely into the plastic fat collector.

Best toasties are done using those sandwitch bag things under the grill.  Only takes a couple of mins and no mess.

This is the one you want TT

25 quid in Costco. Really easy to clean, just wipe with the old damp cloth you seem so keen to please your women with.....

Erm, yeah. Thanks for the tip my friend, but that doesn't have the clever clamshell inserts that keep the cheese in? I bet it's ace for paninis though.

Mine is on the side. I'm just a lazy pcunt.

No it doesn't, but it doesn't need them. Cheese stays in perfectly and my good lady packs the sandwich to the edge with cheese. Trust me on this one.....

Today I learnt an important lesson. Best not to try and clean behind the industrial hot press (sandwich/panini/anything) before it's cooled down. The inside of your elbow is the worst place to burn.
