Sandwich Toasters > Kenwood Sandwich Toasters

Impressive

Advantages: very easy to clean, makes great tost
Disadvantages: none

we recently brought this product for £45 and we thought it was quite expensive at first. The product is like a professional panini maker which they use in cafes etc. i really love the way you can store it, use it with several types of bread, how you can adjust the temperature, how it is non stick and how it is easy to clean. I love it and it is the best thing that me and my mum have brought for the kitchen. i am not a type of person who has breakfast ...

Review of Kenwood SM606

Does this title have to be cheesy?

Advantages: cheap, cooks evenly, easy to clean, looks good with unique design
Disadvantages: no timer or thermostat

...I opted for the Kenwood SM435 because it was reasonably priced and looked the business so would fit in quite nicely with our toaster, kettle and bread pot. Unlike most other toasted sandwich makers, instead of being quite flat to the work surface it looks a bit futuristic (I have attached a picture below to save trying to describe the shape which escapes me at this moment in time). I’m sure you’ll agree, it looks a bit different and with the silver ...
...than 20 quid. The SM435 has fixed hinges so opening and closing it quite straightforward, there is no trying to reposition the top section to align it with the base and the handle is insulated so it doesn’t get remotely hotter once it has been in operation for a while. There are two separate plates which both warm individually and it can make 2 sandwiches at once. More than adequate for our needs as I personally don’t eat that many toasted sandwiches ...

Review of Kenwood SM435 Sandwich Maker

"Waffley" Tasty Fun in the Kitchen!

Advantages: Produces great tasting waffles, easy to clean
Disadvantages: None other than waffles are fattening!

My daughter, Erin, is now 11 and turning into quite the young lady. She loves to "help" me in the kitchen when I'm making the tea, she loves setting the table and washing the dishes and trying to help me cook, although this can sometimes be more of a hindrance! But I don't like to discourage her. For her Christmas I wanted to get her something of her own for the kitchen, something we could use together but that ultimately would be her first real ...
...loves toasted and spread with butter, so I thought a waffle maker would be the perfect gift. I had a look at quite a few different ones but most of them were multipurpose ones, making not only waffles, but doughnuts and toasted sandwiches as well, but I just wanted a plain and simple waffle maker. This was when I came across the Disney Waffle maker. I happened to notice it in Currys, where it was half price, reduced from £19.99 to £9.99. This looked ...

Review of Kenwood WM804 Disney Waffle Maker

Fancy a sandwich? This sandwich maker'll do the job.

Advantages: Simple to use. Cooks sandwiches in just a couple of minutes usually.
Disadvantages: Can be difficult to clean.

...didn't necessarily need, and the Kenwood SM400 sandwich maker was one of these. So I got it for Christmas 2008, and have not regretted it since. I've cooked hundreds of sandwiches since then, and my most recent one tastes just as good as the very first one. It works like this. You plug the maker in and wait for the light to come on once it's reached the correct temperature. You butter one or two slices of bread (depending on how many sandwiches you ...
...2 at a time). Now comes an interesting bit. Rather weirdly you place the bread on the bottom butter side down. At first when I saw in the clearly explained user manual that this was how you do it, I was skeptical. Placing butter on an open electrical appliance, bit dangerous I thought, but for some reason this is how it's done. The butter gets soaked in by the cooking bread, making the whole slice taste buttery rather than just the surface (rather ...

Review of Kenwood SM400

The latest kitchen gadget in Morgenhund Towers

Advantages: Can be stored vertically, looks good
Disadvantages: No removable non-stick plates - makes cleaning a bit fiddly

As I had a voucher for my local ironmonger's - which happens to rather fortunately be a Le Creuset stockist - which was due to expire and couldn't find any Le Creuset stuff that I really wanted for the sum of the voucher I decided to plump for a sandwich toaster instead. I had not bothered to buy one in Austria as the sandwich bread was so tasteless, but with a wholemeal sandwich loaf now being available at last in the supermarket I go to, I thought ...
...SM420 series, which was being sold for EUR 29.99 (ca. GBP 20) whilst the SM406 was EUR 33 (GBP 22), and the differences appeared to be only cosmetic, although I went for the SM406 as it was in black and stainless steel rather than white. The SM420 had also got the added feature that the plates could be removed for cleaning - this seems to be the biggest bane usually, that sandwich toasters do not seem to be very easy to clean. However, as they explicitly ...
