using your sandwich toaster
Recipe ideas
Making toasties is easy and fun, they can be as creative or as simple as you like and
make great snacks whether eaten at home or on the go.
Using basic ingredients delicious sweet or savoury meals can be made in minutes,
perfect for any time of the day. Here are some classic toasted sandwich recipes that you
may wish to try.
Breads
For best results, use a supermarket own-label, medium, white sliced bread. For variety,
why not try using wholemeal bread, Danish-style bread, seeded breads, sour dough and
fruit breads.
Cheeses
Classic cheeses that melt easily like Cheddar, Gruyere and Emmental make excellent
toasties. We’ve included some different cheeses in our recipes but why not experiment
and get creative with your own favourite cheeses!
The perfect toastie
Even if you are already familiar with using a sandwich toaster, it’s worth following the
guidelines below.
1. Plug your sandwich toaster in to the mains supply socket and switch the socket on
if required. The green power light will come on and your sandwich toaster will start
heating up.
2. When your sandwich toaster is fully heated the amber ready-to-cook light will come
on. This light will come on and go out during cooking.
3. Spread the OUTSIDE of the bread with butter or a spread suitable for cooking. Don’t
use a low fat spread or one which has a high water content.
4. Place the two lower slices of bread onto the bottom plate ‘buttered’ side down. Face
the crusts of the bread to the left and right as shown below.
