Breville Deep Fill TR47
by bringingsexyback WHAT IS IT? A toasted sandwich maker by Breville. It will make four toasted sandwiches and has been designed with deep recesses in the plates so you can add a larger filling to your sandwich. THE DESIGN The Deep Fill sandwich maker is silver with small inobtrusive red and green lights on top. It's a very ... large item and storage can be a problem as my husband and I do not eat many toasted sandwiches so we don't keep this out on the worktop all the time. IS IT ANY GOOD? This sandwich maker makes a very nice toastie and you can definitely get more filling in, to use it you just butter the outside of the bread and make up a sandwich. Place it carefully inside the sandwich maker and close and lock the lid using the strong plastic clip. I don't know why but I can't judge well the amount of filling I need when I am using the Deep Fill sandwich maker and usually have to build my sandwich on the hot plate. I don't benefit from the depth of the sandwich as I like mine quite thin and filled only with cheese and tomato slices but my husband has two eggs in his as well as chopped sausage. My speciality toastie is filled with a bacon, potato, onion and cheese hash and the deep fill side is useful for that filling because you can eat a whole meal in a sandwich. The bread never sticks to the plates and when the sandwiches are cooked they lift out with no sticking. If any of the filling leaks it will just wipe off when the plates have cooled down a little, it's not very often that this happens because of the amount you can put into the sandwich but the toasted sandwich maker is easier to keep clean than other ones we've owned. 4 Dooyoo Stars.

Breville VST005
by trayrope For as long as I can remember I have always had a sandwich toaster aka toasty machine. I have had various models ranging from Cookworks to Breville and out of all of them I can honestly say Breville has always performed the best. For many years I plodded along with a old two sandwich model, which believe me was worth more than ... its weight in gold when the step-kids were staying at the weekend, for a quick meal I would whip out a loaf of bread, a tin of beans and a block of cheese and make seven rounds of toasties. Due to the fact it was only a two sandwich machine I did regularly find myself in the kitchen for over half an hour. But one day the unthinkable happened the leg fell off my toasty machine, the upside was I could now employ the old phrase "we used to have one of them but its leg fell off", the other upside was that I could now search for a new toasty machine, "oh how I love my kitchen appliances". With money being a bit tight I decided to purchase a as new machine from EBay, it looked so pretty in the pictures I promptly coughed up a fiver and eagerly awaited the arrival of my toasty, but oh what a fool I was, when it arrived it looked like Noah had been using it on the ark and there was a distinct smell of damp shed and the hot plates were rusty. I contacted the seller who informed me that I was obviously mistaken the machine was as new when it left his house, I promptly realised my mistake it had obviously been sucked into the bizarre time vortex that is the UK postal system and had spent twenty years spinning around before arriving on my doorstep two days after I had paid for it. Having decided I didn't fancy waiting for Stephen Hawking to explain the complexities of space and time in relation to my toasty machine I dropped it in the wheelie bin and settled down in front of my pc to peruse Amazon, that trustworthy friend of mine. Happily for me I found this gem the Breville VST005 four slice sandwich toaster, oh how wonderful it looked, with its sleek silver body and chunky rubber feet, I promptly coughed up my husbands hard earned money again (a fool and her husbands money are soon parted) this time £24.99 and eagerly awaited the arrival of my new toy. Luckily for me Amazon was on top form with delivery again and I received my toasty machine the very next day. I have to admit the size of the toasty machine did surprise me, it genuinely is huge W31.6cm x D36.5cm x H11.5cm and weighing in at 2.91kg. Happily all the packaging was recyclable, and a lot of companies have now started using egg box type packing to hold products in place instead of the dreaded Styrofoam. Ok now I had got my hands on the machine I was impressed the body is made of smooth light grey plastic the feet are nice and sturdy and rubberised, the top is brushed stainless steel, there is a discreet power/ready light set in the top, the only week spot I could see was the handle for closing the machine, the plastic catch on the handle seems a bit light weight compared to the rest of the machine, but so far it has stood up to nearly a year of almost daily use. The inside of the beast has non-stick fixed plates, the room in there is amazing more than enough room for four rounds of toasted sandwiches the depth of the plates is ample I can easy get a 2cm square blob of cheese and a spoon of beans nestled on each side of my slices of bread. It is recommended that you spread the out side of each slice of bread with butter or margarine (not low fat as the water in spread makes the bread go super soggy) I use Vitalite sunflower spread and have never had any sticking or soggy issues, the bread crisps up nicely and seals the scrummy flavour inside the toasty. The best way to use this machine is to plug it in and prep up your bread and toasty fillings while waiting for the machine to hit its prime cooking temperature, this is indicated by the power light switching from orange for on to green for go. The toasty machine usually takes five minutes to go from on to ready to cook, you then open up the machine, slap your first slices butter side down on to the non-stick plates then carefully nestle your filling into the dents, then place the top slice on top, also butter side out, once this is done carefully close the lid and lock it shut using the plastic catch, this can sometimes be a bit of a squeeze when the machine is full but just persevere and the catch does hook on. Now comes the difficult bit... the waiting as tasty aromas fill the air and the butter sizzles, occasionally there is the dreaded sound of cheese leakage, this is detectable by an increase in cheesy aroma (the nice cheesy aroma) and louder sizzling, sometimes a bit of cheese oozes its way out, like marshmallow man in Ghostbusters, but fear not your patience is rewarded after 8-10 mins open up the catch and you are presented with four rounds of culinary heaven, not just for me also for the kids and hubby, honest!! So, before you go and scoff your toasty, unplug the machine and leave it to cool, once cool give it a wipe around with a warm soapy cloth and then dry it with a soft tea towel to remove and debris left behind then close the lid, hook the power cord around the four rubber legs and pop it away, due to its size I have to admit it is hard to find somewhere to store it, it takes up a whole shelf in a cupboard and doesn't balance on its side to well, so mine sits on top of the microwave till I need it again. A few small tips for getting the most out of the toasty machine are, read the manual, always use a plastic heat proof spatula to remove your toasted sandwich, don't scrub it clean with abrasive material, allow to cool before wiping down and putting away, only use when sober, don't put your hand on top of the machine while it is on, it gets hot, don't put your hand or any other body part in the machine, mafia style, while it is on as you will get very burnt, don't cook any other food stuff in the sandwich maker it is called a sandwich maker for a good reason, not a bacon crisper or egg scrambler, (teenage son take note) and no you can't warm your socks up on it on a cold winters day. Over all I have to say I think this is a must have for any kitchen. It is well made and from a well established company and I expect it will give me many years of good service. Some suggested fillings are Cheese, cheese and onion, cheese ham and onion, cheese and tuna, cheese and chicken... There is a pattern here!! If anyone has any filling suggestions please inbox me, or leave them in the comments section. Here are a few technical details for those of you in review land that enjoys reading them. Non-stick plates, cut and seal system (not really noticed this), stands upright for storage (I beg to differ on this point), cord wrap and non-slip feet, clean hinge design, four slices, power on and ready to cook lights and cool touch (no its not). I am knocking off a star for not being cool to the touch. Thank you for reading my not much sleep and too much coffee induced review XX Read the complete review |

Breville Cafe Style TR40
by jooboyle I got this product as a gift and immediately thought: "another one of those that you use it once and put away for ages". I must say I could not be more wrong. After first use I treat this product as an essential and it is left on the cupboard together with my kettle and the toaster. It comes in polish stainless steel with a ... black, plastic handle. Designed to easily fit two sandwiches. The top plate is adjustable. The "toast" function allows you to cook crispy Panini's and "melt" option for those delicious open sandwiches. Thanks to adjustable height control the product takes just about any size of bread, with as many fillings as you want, even those extra fat baguettes .Both plates are non-stick, which makes it very easy to clean, simply wipe with a damp cloth. Two lights on the top indicate when the power is on (red) and the plates are ready (green). It comes with a handy lock clip on the side for an easy upright storage. The Panini press comes at a reasonable price of around £35 and in my opinion it is definitely worth the money. I often treat my visitors to delicious toasties just to their taste, as you can experiment with almost endless combinations. This item is excellent for those evenings when you simply have no time to cook a dinner from scratch. The stylish and elegant look of this product makes it a perfect addiction to my kitchen.
