HINTS AND TIPS
BREAD
The toastie maker is designed for super
and regular sized bread. With extra large
cooking plates, it cuts and seals the toastie.
Most types of bread can be used; white,
wholemeal, kibbled 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 toasties
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 toastie is
sufficient. Do not overfill your toasties.
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 kilojoule
counting, the outside of the bread may
be left unbuttered. 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 castor
sugar over the outer buttered sides of the
bread will make them extra delicious.
For extra flavour use herb or garlic butter for
spreading on bread.
PASTRY
Frozen pastry will snap in the toastie
maker. Ready-rolled is the easiest to use,
either in sheets or from a roll. See page 19
for further details.
REHEATING
If the toastie 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 100°C. The toastie will keep
hot for up to 20 minutes this way, but will
then begin to dry out.
