1. Tuna Melt (tuna, onion, mayonnaise and cheese)
2. Cheese and tomato
3. Cheese, beans and ham

Breads

For best results, use a supermarket own-label, medium, white sliced bread. For variety, why not try using wholemeal bread, Danish-style bread, seeded breads, sour dough and fruit breads.

Cheeses
Classic cheeses that melt easily like Cheddar, Gruyere and Emmental make excellent toasties. We’ve included some different cheeses in our recipes but why not experiment and get creative with your own favourite cheeses!

The perfect toastie

Take care around hot surfaces. The sandwich toaster plates get very hot. DO NOT touch any parts, or attempt to remove or replace the sandwich toaster plates until completely cooled.
Steam may escape from around the snack maker during cooking. Never leave your snack maker unattended while in use.

1. Plug your snack maker in to the mains supply socket and switch the socket on if required. The green power light will come on and your snack maker will start heating up.
2. When your snack maker is fully heated the amber ready-to-cook light will come on. This light will come on and go out during cooking.
3. Spread the OUTSIDE of the bread with butter or a spread suitable for cooking. Don’t use a low fat spread or one which has a high water content.
4. Place the two lower slices of bread onto the bottom plate ‘buttered’ side down. Face the crusts of the bread to the left and right as shown below.
5. Add the filling. The deeper cooking plates allow you to use more of your favourite ingredients but always allow a 2cm gap around the filling as shown below. This will allow your snack maker to form a good seal and prevent the filling from leaking out.
6. For best results, the maximum amount of cheese, when used as a single ingredient, should not exceed 60g. If you add other ingredients, reduce the amount of cheese to compensate for them.
7. Place the remaining bread on top with the buttered side on the outside (this will give your toastie a lovely golden colour during cooking).
8. Close and latch the lid and allow to cook for approx 7-8 minutes until golden and cooked. Leave the sandwich in the toaster for more or less time according to taste.
9. Release the latch and open the lid. Watch out for escaping steam—use a tea towel or wear oven gloves. Remove the cooked sandwich with a non-metallic spatula. Don’t use a metal blade as this can damage the non-stick surface of the plates.
10. Once cooked, take care when eating as fillings, especially fruit or tomato, can be very hot.

Important points:

• Always allow a 2cm gap around the filling.
• Never overfill your toastie.
• Too much filling can leak out and also make the latch difficult to close. using your snack maker plates

The perfect waffle
Take care around hot surfaces. The waffle plates get very hot. DO NOT touch any parts, or attempt to remove or replace the waffle plates until completely cooled. Steam may escape from around the waffle maker during cooking. Never leave your waffle maker unattended while in use.

1. Plug your waffle maker into the mains supply socket and switch the socket on if required. The green power light will come on and your waffle maker will start heating up.
2. When your waffle maker is fully heated the amber ready-to-cook light will come on. This light will come on and go out during cooking.
3. Unclip the latch on the handle and open the lid.
4. Carefully pour your batter mix into the bottom waffle plate. For the perfect waffle, we recommend you pour a ladleful (about 75ml) into the centre of each grid of the waffle plate. Make sure you don’t overfill the waffle plate as the mixture may spill over the edges of the plate.
5. Close the lid. DO NOT clip the latch shut during cooking. This allows the waffle to rise and the steam to release (you may notice the lid lift slightly as the waffle rises). Cook the waffle according to the recipe time.
6. When cooked, open the lid. Watch out for escaping steam – we recommend that you use a tea towel or wear oven gloves. Remove the waffle with a non-metallic spatula. Don’t use a metal blade as this can damage the non-stick surface of the plates.
7. Unplug your waffle maker from the mains supply socket. Do not leave the waffle maker plugged in when not in use.

Important points:

1. DO NOT clip the latch shut during cooking, allows the waffle to rise.
2. Pour the batter mixture into the centre of each grid of the waffle plate and make sure you don’t overfill the waffle plate.

The perfect panini

Take care around hot surfaces. The panini plates get very hot. DO NOT touch any parts, or attempt to remove or replace the panini plates until completely cooled. Steam may escape from around the snack maker during cooking. Never leave your snack maker unattended while in use.

1. Plug your snack maker into the mains supply socket and switch the socket on if required. The green power light will come on and your snack maker will start heating up.
2. When your snack maker is fully heated the amber ready-to-cook light will come on. This light will come on and go out during cooking.
3. Unclip the latch on the handle and open the lid and place the panini onto the bottom cooking plate.
4. Toasting should take approximately 5-8 minutes. The exact toasting time will be a matter of taste. It will also depend on the type of bread and the type of filling used.
5. When cooked, open the lid. Watch out for escaping steam – we recommend that you use a tea towel or wear oven gloves. Remove the panini with a non-metallic spatula. Don’t use a metal blade as this can damage the non-stick surface of the plates.
6. Unplug your snack maker from the mains supply socket. Do not leave the snack maker plugged in when not in use.
