Toasted Sandwiches the cheap way!

Advantages: reasonably priced, does the job well, quick to heat up, easy to clean
Disadvantages: not the most attractive,

...I purchased an asda smart price sandwich toaster when i bought my new home. As a non-essential item, this was not high on my list of purchases when I had toasters, kettles etc to buy. However, I couldn't resist purchasing this when I noticed the price, very cheap and worth a go I thought. I don't use it regularly but when I do, it does the job as well as any other (and more expensive!) sandwich toaster I have used. It's not advanced, it works exactly as you would expect. It lights up when it's warm enough to toast and then you are away! Toasting two sandwiches at a time. It can be messy, depending on what you put in your sandwiches, and the bread can stick a bit but this is a problem I have always had with sandwich toasters, not exclusively with this one! I have also found it easy to clean. It is not too big and is easy to...

Review of Asda Smart Price Sandwich Toaster

OOOOOO the smell of those sandwhiches:)

Advantages: Great Quality, perfect machine. Stylish. Easy to clean
Disadvantages: NONE!

...Hello and welcome to this review! Standing in Tesco the 4 months agooo.... I couldn't decide between a Breville Or a Tesco Value. The difference being the price ofcourse. Breville on sale 14.95 Or the Value 3.98. Hmmmm. I thought I don't use sandwhich toasters that much BUT I picked up the Breville for some reason and headed to the checkout! I just had to have it, sounded like a good deal to me. When I got it home I was suprised just how big this thing is! It can make two sandwhiches in one go, thats an advantage over the Value one, that only had one Sandwhich. But it luckily does not take up to much room on the counter. It also looks very sylish as its silver in colour. The sandwhich toaster felt quality when I took it from the box and felt quite heavy which also tells me the quality is up to scratch. I set the toaster up...

My Sandwich Toaster Recipes

Advantages: Quick and easy
Disadvantages: Waiting for it to cook

...I was working but I have just made myself a toasted sandwich and decided to share with you some of my recipes. When I first got my Sandwich Toaster, which can make two at a time, all I made were, Cheese & Onion, Cheese & Pickle, Ham & Pickle etc you get the idea. After a while I put this piece of kit in my cupboard, as I got bored with it. It came out again about 6 months ago and has not been back in since. Why you might ask? Well that's because I got inventive. Toasted Sandwich with Cheese, Onion, Pickle and Mashed Potato You will need: 2 slices of bread 2 slices of cheese A couple of slices of chopped raw onion 2 tbsp of Cold Mashed Potato (I always have some left over) 1 tbsp of pickle Some butter/margarine How to make: 1. First switch on your sandwich toaster...

What a cracker of a cheese sandwich!

Advantages: Mild flavours, great textures, moorish
Disadvantages: leaves your mouth really dry; crumble everywhere

...Having reviewed the 'Ritz cheese sandwich cracker' (see my review) I did find myself wondering what the difference was to a Jacobs Tuc Cheese cracker and as Jacobs TUC cheese sandwich crackers were on offer at 2 for £1 (150g pack) I seized the opportunity. There are obvious differences. Firstly, TUC cheese sandwich crackers are a 6.5cm by 4.5cm oblong shaped biscuits as opposed to the round RITZ ones, though they are also indented with lots of little holes on the surface. They are quite greasy to touch and there aer little bits of salt on the surface of the crackers. The crackers are quite thick and delicate, held together by a smooth creamy cheese filling. The filling is thicker than that of a RITZ. On taking a cheese cracker biscuit out, I can immediately smell the processed cheesy smell like dairylea but a bit stronger. There...

Review of Skinny Cow Sandwich

Sandwiches short of a picnic

Advantages: These are the ones I like best
Disadvantages: not for the carnivores amongst you

...Please do not kill me now but it was I who suggested this category. I suggested it when the Ciao Café categories were getting very silly a few years ago. I never got round to telling you all about my preference for baked dough stuffed with numerous combinations if ingredients so I figured I would contribute to the monster I spawned) There is nothing better than a sandwich to fill the gap. There is such variety, sweet, savoury, sweet and savoury combined, different sauces, different breads. They are even known as dfifenret trhings in different parts of the country. I've encountered baps, barms, muffins, batches, buttys, sarnies, sangas and good old pieces. I'm adventurous but fussy when it comers to sandwich fillings. I am a Pescetarian so I e do not eat flesh or fowl. I eat fish as I feel I would be too limited without it and I...

Heinz Sandwich Spread - 'Tis tasty

Advantages: A good standby for sandwiches
Disadvantages: None

...I first started to use Heinz sandwich spread about 30 years ago when I was a student. I bought it when I was on a backpacking holiday in Cornwall. When I taste it nowadays it brings back the wonderful memories of my walk round the Cornish coastal paths. I would make up the sandwiches in the early morning and then put a yoghurt in the lunch box, walk for 4-5 hours and then sit in some spectaular location in Cornwall and devour the sandwiches. They tasted so good after all that walking and made a change from the delicious Cornish pasties and Cornish cream teas that I did sucumb to now and again. I have been using Heinz Sandwich Spread ever since! The spread is basically tiny chopped vegetables - ie gherkin, red pepper, cabbage and onions in a salady type cream sauce...it is quite tangy and has a very distinctive taste. I...

My top 10 sandwiches - Updated

Advantages: YUMMY
Disadvantages: NONE

...Sandwiches are perhaps my biggest down fall. If ever offered a sandwich or a slice of toast, I will most definitely jump at the chance and accept the offer with pleasure. When I came across this category for top 10 sandwich fillers I knew it was my duty to en-lighten you all on my delights. When I was younger, I used to hate sandwiches, and at primary school, whenever I was given a sandwich in my lunchbox, I'd hide it and put it in the bin, but pretend to my mum I had thoroughly enjoyed it. This was probably due to the fact that at the tender age of 9, my palette was not quite the same as it has grown into over the years, and the idea of a cheese and ham sandwich made my stomach churn, however now, I cant get enough of them, and bread is perhaps one of my biggest downfalls. So the time came, and I had to decide on my top 10! Boy...

A Sandwich In Seconds

Advantages: Tastes lovely, good value for money, smells nice, easy to use
Disadvantages: Not good for anyone on a diet

...My Dad is known within our family for being the 'Tesco's bargain hunter'. He goes to Tesco's most evenings, at around 8pm and finds all the stock that is being reduced. He finds some real bargain and it means that the rest of the family get to try things that we would normally be too tight to buy if they were full price. Last night, my Dad got Tesco's Cheese and Spring Onion Sandwich Filler and gave it to me to have for lunch today. Packaging The cheese and spring onion sandwich filler comes in a see through plastic pot which is similar to the sort of pots you get potato salad and coleslaw in. The pot has a label on the top of it giving a product description and the usual set by dates. The tub I have is 200g. Cost Well my Dad got this for 21p but normally it would set you back £1.05. What Does It Look Like? The sandwich...
