Promising review:

Love this. So easy and quick to use on my gas stovetop. I can’t comment on an electric stovetop. Butter the bread, and lay it butter side down on the iron plates. Add the filling of your choice. Close the sandwich maker and place it over the heat. Please note: Be careful not to put the handles over the heat. Turn the sandwich maker over to toast both sides. — Kim Precious

At last, I’ve found a sandwich toaster that takes thickly sliced bread with the crust left on, although it will not allow you to use Warburtons slices unless you cut all the crusts off. — bertbag96

Promising review:

I bought this to change the way I cook. It’s great. Easy to use. Save by using the hob and oven. Heats up in a few minutes. Burgers, steaks, and fish cooked in minutes. It’s great to have the versatility to open up as a flat grill too for better control when grilling and the ability to cook more at once for larger groups! — Paul BW

It really is a little appliance with a big result. Follow the instructions, don’t overload, and be prepared for a yummy treat. Just remember the metal is HOT, so wear oven gloves — you don’t need cooked hands. Practice will definitely pay off but right from a switch on, it does what it says on the tin!! — Lorraine M Ford
