RECIPE IDEAS

Bread
Most types of bread can be used; white, wholemeal, kibbled wheat,
wholegrain, raisin loaf and so on. Your sandwich press is ideal for
toasting foccacia, Turkish bread, baguettes as well as bread rolls.
Raisin bread, brioche or other sweet breads which contain a high
sugar content will tend to brown quicker, so we recommend using a
lower heat setting.
Fillings
Try to use canned or pre-cooked fruit as fresh fruit may give
off excessive juices when heated. Be careful when biting into
sandwiches containing fillings such as cheese and tomato or jam,
because they retain heat and can burn if eaten too quickly.
Never overfill your sandwich, especially when using ingredients that
contain food colouring, or coloured cheeses. Too much filling can
leak out and may stain the housing of your sandwich press.
Toasting bread
The unique flat plate design makes your sandwich press ideal for
toasting plain breads, and Turkish bread, without any fillings or
spreads. Try toasting Turkish bread with jams for a great alternative
to standard breads at breakfast.
Reheating
If the sandwich 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 100ºC. The
sandwich will keep hot for up to 20 minutes this way, but will then
begin to dry out.
Fat-free snacks
Due to the non‑stick ceramic flat plate design, it is not necessary to
use any butter or margarine on the outside of your toasted snacks.
