Toasted Sandwich maker...do you butter both sides of bread?

[flowerpot1000000]

Ummm so Im confused. Do u butter both sides? Or just one side which is exposed to thd metal plates

No, just the sides next to the plates

No just the side that will be against the toaster plates

I do both

I don’t butter at all! Just stick in the bread and cheese...

Thought so not clear with the instructions and recipes that came with it...look

I only butter the outside of the sandwich that’s against the grill plates as inside it doesn’t need it with the melted cheese and makes the outside golden and crispy. Mine are delicious!

Outside only! I wouldn't trust a recipe that suggests pineapple in a toastie anyway.

...now I want a toastie. My DPs used to do cheese and crisp toasties.

I don’t butter either side. But I do spray the plates with spray oil.

Fave is ham and cheese, DS who isnt a great meat eater loves tuna and cheese so Im thinking protein in both ideal for a toastie so bought one...Lidl today £4!!!!

I don't butter either side because I like cheese inside and that's enough fat.

Oh my goodness it has never occurred to me to butter the outside of the bread!! I’ve always just done the inside like a sandwich. I’m going to try this next time.

I do, it makes them more crispy.

I butter the side going assist the plates and then spread tomato puree on the 'inside' before adding cheese!

We don't butter either side. But we don't have a proper toastie maker either. We have a George foreman whose sole job is making toastie... he gets used 2-3 times a week.
