Toasted sandwiches

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? 🤔

Love is... A mechanism for squashing your lunch and burning your lips.

Breville Flat plate sandwich/pannini maker.

Much more flexible than the type that makes neat crimped triangles

A true toasted sarnie should be neat crimped triangles…it’s not a panini

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.

Not something I’ve ever heard as a term, is it a northern? contraction of went out of fashion?

Butter the outsides of the bread in a breville!

If you listen to Absolute Radio, Bush and Richie do "Toastie Tuesday" trying all sorts of mad ideas for fillings. I'm sure recipes are available on podcast / social media and the like.

We have one the inlaws bought us, with removable non stick plates so it's easy to clean. Also came with griddle plates for normal grilling of meat/veg etc. I just tend to use the George Foreman grill as the bread is never quite the right size for the "proper" toaster

Left over stew, and tomatoey pasta sauces like bolognaise work well as long as they're not too sloppy.

I was inspired (cheese and tomato, I prefer white bread for toasties).
Yep, nuclear tomato!

Ah yes, you see the problem.... lots of dry, hard, toasted crust and sealing strips.

Now, if you had a flat-plate sandwich toaster you would have yummy melted goodness right up to the edge - with an added bonus of crispy bits of cheese extruded at the edges.

I like the hard crusty edges 😋

I've eschewed toasties/panini in favour of "easy pizza" today. Not much food in the house until later, but found a soft pitta and a bowl of leftover bolognaise in the fridge. Some chopped red peppers and grated cheese. Then thrown in an air fryer for just 4 minutes. Tastes far nicer than pizza done in the oven.

No hard edges (whether you like them or not), but there is the risk of cheese slipping off the edge.
