Please find me a lovely one

Thanks

i think this looks fab!

katymac · 01/11/2005 16:09

Lovely - but I don't make round bread......

i think it cuts it out itself... or you just trim round the edges!

I use my george forman

katymac · 01/11/2005 16:11

Oh...maybe then

I was really thinking about traditional square ones - maybe a four toaster.....witha bit of weight in it so I don't have to strain my hands

How does the george foreman seal the edges?

it'd be like the ones they do in cafes that just use a sandwich press rather than sealing it... like if you did it under the grill

katymac · 01/11/2005 20:43

I just want a big heavy one

I make toasties in the frying pan - they are lush - you can put in as much filling as you like and it doesn't matter if it oozes.

(Do tend to get tomato pips down my front though )

katymac · 01/11/2005 22:01

Don't like fried bread tho' Janh

I like toast _ and I'm trying to keep my cholesterol down as well

another vote for the George Foreman here -- I think the sarnies are nicer without teh crunchy sealed edges

JanH · 01/11/2005 22:04

Don't you put a scrape of marg on the outside of the bread in a toastie maker though, km? (Friend of mine who had one always did.) I do that and heat it in a dry pan - it's not really fried.

katymac · 01/11/2005 22:07

No - no fat goes near or in my toasties..not even a little bit

OP posts:
katymac · 01/11/2005 22:07

Ooooh Iota - it's the edges I like

Isn't there a black heatproof bag thing you can put your sandwich inside and then drop it inside an ordinary toaster? (Or is that for heating baked beans???)

Frayedknot · 01/11/2005 22:11

Yes Toaster Pockets. I've got some. You make the sandwich, put it in the pocket, and put the bag in the toaster.

They are fab actually.

katymac · 01/11/2005 22:12

But I still want a big heavy toastie maker....please
