Bread
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
Even if you are already familiar with using a sandwich toaster, it’s worth
following the guidelines below.
-
Plug your sandwich toaster in to the mains supply socket and switch the socket on if required. The green power light will come on and your sandwich toaster will start heating up.
-
When your sandwich toaster is fully heated the amber ready-to-cook light will come on. This light will come on and go out during cooking.
-
Spread the OUTSIDE of the bread with butter or a spread suitable for cooking. Don’t use a low fat sprea or one which has a high water content.
-
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.
-
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 sandwich toaster to form a good seal and prevent the filling from leaking out.
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. -
Place the remaining bread on top with the buttered side on the outside (this will give your toastie a lovely golden colour during cooking).
-
Close and latch the lid and allow to cook for approx 4-5 minutes until golden and cooked. Leave the sandwich in the toaster for more or less time according to taste.
-
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.
-
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.
NOTE: Using high % water based spreads or sauces may have impact on bread structure or surface during toasting cycle.
care and cleaning
Unplug and switch off your sandwich toaster and allow it to fully cool down
before cleaning it. Do not immerse the main body, cord set or plug in water or
liquid of any kind.
Never use steel wool, scouring pads, abrasive cleaners or metallic utensils to
clean your sandwich toaster.
- Before cleaning your sandwich toaster, switch it off and unplug it from the mains supply. Allow it to cool down fully.
- Wipe the cooking plates with an absorbent paper or soft damp cloth.
- Clean the outside of your sandwich toaster with a soft damp cloth which has been wrung almost dry in warm soapy water. The cover can be polished with a soft dry cloth.
electrical safety
This appliance must be earthed.
This appliance must be earthed. If the plug is not suitable for the socket
outlets in your home, it can be removed and replaced by a plug of the correct
type. If the fuse in a moulded plug needs to be changed, the fuse cover must
be refitted. The appliance must not be used without the fuse cover fitted.
If the plug is unsuitable, it should be dismantled and removed from the supply
cord and an appropriate plug fitted as detailed. If you remove the plug it
must not be connected to a 5 amp socket and the plug must be disposed of
