HINTS AND TIPS
BREAD
The sandwich maker is designed for
super and regular sized bread. With extra
large cooking plates, it cuts and seals the
sandwiches.
Most types of bread can be used; white,
wholemeal, wheat, wholegrain, raisin loaf
and so on. When using raisin bread, brioche
or other sweet breads which contain high
sugar content, remember they will
brown faster.
FILLINGS
Try to use canned or pre-cooked fruit as
fresh fruit may give off excessive juices
when heated.
Be careful when biting into toasted
sandwiches containing fillings such as
cheese and tomato or jam as they retain heat
and can burn if eaten too quickly.
One quarter cup of filling for each sandwich
is sufficient. Do not overfill your sandwiches.
BUTTER OR MARGARINE
For best results we recommend to butter the
outside of the bread, ie place filling between
the unbuttered sides of bread.
If you are on a low fat diet or calorie
counting, the outside of the bread may be
left unbuttered or use cooking spray of
choice. Spray directly onto the bread slices.
Season the plates occasionally to prevent
sticking and to make cleaning easier.
To season, brush the cooking plates
with a little vegetable oil and rub off the
excess with absorbent paper. Do this after
preheating the unit. Do not use spray on
non-stick coatings as this will effect the
performance of the non-stick surface on the
cooking plates.
For sweet snacks, a light sprinkling of
baking sugar over the outer buttered sides
of the bread will make them extra delicious.
For extra flavor use herb or garlic butter for
spreading on bread.
PASTRY
Frozen pastry can be used to create a light
crispy sandwich. Use sheets of store bought
frozen puff pastry and thaw slightly before
cutting into 4 equal squares and placing
into the sandwich maker. Cook as per
instructions for slices of bread.
REHEATING
If the sandwich is not being eaten
immediately, place it on a paper napkin to
absorb condensation. To keep for longer,
place on a rack in an oven-proof dish to
keep warm in a low oven, about 220°F. The
sandwich will keep hot for up to 20 minutes
this way, but will then begin to dry out.
