Sandwich Toasters > Cookworks Sandwich Toasters

Advantages: Quick and easy to use, very cheap, long lasting
Disadvantages: Bad at cutting, outside gets hot

...Mine is a white, Cookworks model that cost the very reasonable sum of £7.99 from T J Hughes in the summer of 2000, when I was stocking up on kitchen stuff in preparation of going off to university. Since then it has been used, on average, once a week and continues to serve me well. It is showing no signs of wear and tear beyond the slight fading of the Cookworks name on the top. It still heats as quickly as it always does, toasts as evenly and remains ...
...on traditional toaster toast. Cookworks have many different sandwich makers available, in varying sizes and colours to suit all kitchens. Argos and Index have good selections, or look online. It’s not the classiest or most expensive brand out there, but it gets the job done, and I’ll be sticking with mine for a long time to come. ... Read review

Advantages: quick toasting, easy to use,perfect sandwich every time
Disadvantages: beans, burnt tongue

The Cookworks stainless steel sandwich toaster is a great, cheap way of making tasty snacks. I bought it for £15 and it has turned out more than worth its value. Its a 2 slice sandwich toaster so its enough to cook for two people at a time, or one if you're greedy. The actual base of the toaster is fairly small which can leave more than needed around the edge of the slice of the bread. One great feature is the extendable roof to the sandwich toaster ...
...enabling you to fill your sandwich with more ingrediants without worrying about spillage. It toasts the sanwich easily in a couple of minutes and heats the ingrediants inside, melting cheese deliciously, although it does become piping hot and you will burn your tongue if you don't allow it to cool; and i only encountered one problem. When trying to make my favourite toasted sandwich (darylea, ham and beans), while it is heating, the beans tend to ... Read review

Advantages: Speed of Cooking, Ease of Use, Removable Plates
Disadvantages: Top Plastic Cover is flimsy

Exceptionally easy to use and a staple for my kitchen. The next grilleration foreman grill is easy to use as it has variable temperature settings and a built in timer, meaning all you have to do is switch it on and chuck some meat on it. Size-wise it fits about 4 chicken breasts which is a decent size, but for the price i would have liked something which could handle more food. The reason i bought one was for the removable plates, which are the best ...
...stick the plates in the microwave means that this model had great longevity compared to the lesser models which will accumulate grease etc easily. I do have a complaint with the top section though, the plastic cover over the top was extremely flimsy and broke within a few weeks, although this doesnt really affect the grill that much since the primary use is just to cook meat. The grill also comes with a handy recipe book and a couple of fat-drip ... Read review

Advantages: Not just a toasted sandwich maker
Disadvantages: Can take a little while to cool down

...decided to go for the Breville TR39 Sandwich press. ~ The Difference between a sandwich press and toaster ~ Well basically it all comes down to the hinges. A sandwich toaster has fixed hinges and allows you to use regular bread, which it then turns into a toasted sandwich using either one or two compartments. It also means your not as restricted in the slice of bread in overall size (often our old machine wouldn't take more than a small loaf slice). ...
...hinges that allow for thicker bread like ciabata, panini and focaccia. Great if like us you enjoy a variation on the toasted sandwich dream. ~ The Toasted Sandwich ~ The first noticeable difference between this and the toasted sandwich maker is there are no compartments that the bread fits into. This also means you don't get the edges sealed in the same way, nor do you have the sandwich "sealed" in half. I admit I was a little concerned that the ... Read review
