Toasted sandwiches

Cheese and tomato for me always

Beware of scalding your mouth on the tomato

Indeed, but I’m capable of letting my food cool a little before eating!

No you're not the only one, I've never owned one either.

Toasty bags work well for us.

Best toasted sandwich maker around has to be a Ridge monkey. But that's just the start of what you can in one.

Beware of scalding your mouth on the tomato

I scald my mouth eating my food so much that my dentist once commented on it. I'm a fast eater, I'm impatient to wait for it to cool when I'm hungry, and I have difficulty telling the difference betweeen hot spice and hot temperature.

I believe that Cerne can officially calculate the half life of a slice of tomato heated in a sandwich toaster.

When it was first suggested to me by a colleague, I thought it was a wind-up too. Then we arrived at a wee cafe in Kilwinning where it was on the menu, so I tried it. It’s been a favourite ever since.



Alas, I can’t claim this as a weegie invention, the credit belongs to Ayrshire.

Deepest darkest Kilwinning an aw.

And parents shouting "Don't use a knife on the non-stick!"

Yeah, we've got one, and it is cleaning it after use that makes it hardly worth the trouble.

But we've had it since the late 80's, and do still use it occasionally.

Normally either cheese, cheese & pickle (Branston), or cheese & ham.

I use a George Foreman grilly thing for toasted sandwiches because it doesn't matter what shape the bread is. Anyways, I digress here, but toasties are a regular thing chez Casa Reynard.

The default version is cheese and chutney. But basically, anything goes...

Cheddar, onion & a dab of English mustard - tastes exactly like cheese & onion crisps.
Cheddar, ham & sweet chilli sauce.
Cheddar, tomato chutney (or ketchup), pepperoni & mozzarella
Chicken, mozzarella & basil pesto
Cheddar, bacon & sweet chilli sauce / bbq sauce
Cheddar, onion, sliced hot dogs & bbq sauce / ketchup

Tuna & banana... Sounds right weird, but might give it a go. Not going to say I don't like it until I've tried it.

Could be worse; I hear bad things about pop tarts; forth-degree burns.

I never knew people still actually had these. I thought they went out years ago.

Went out where?
Mine lives in a cupboard, gets used occasionally.
Unlike the oven grill which I never use!

Hi, It means not in/used/relevant etc anymore...
I've not known anyone to have one over the last 20 years... I've seen paninis when I've been out but I'm referring to the sliced bread version that people had in the 1980s.

 

[Sterlo]

I bought one a few years ago (5 years max). It's got removeable non stick plates so it's a doddle to clean. We've also got a flatter version which I think is more like a panini press. Love corned beef or ham and cheese, have had scrambled egg in the past (a bit long winded and messy though).

MrsPete mentioned that she has a hankering for one.
It's our wedding anniversary soon so I might just get one for her is that a bit too romantic? 🤔
