I was introduced to toastie bags by a friend, and loved the idea so much I decided to pop to Poundland and pick some up for myself. As I'm living on a pretty low budget the biggest plus point about these bags compared to an actual plug in sandwich toaster was definitely the low cost. £1 for two toastie bags and they last ages! The way the bags work is that you construct your sandwich with the filling of your choice (I feel that no toastie is complete without cheese to melt but you may feel differently!) squash it a bit, pop it in the bag and then put the bag in the toaster for a few minutes. When the toaster pops, bingo, you have a delicious toastie ready ...  Read the complete review

When I was at boarding school, there were only two forms of cooking available to us - the toaster or the microwave. As you can imagine, there were only a limited amount of things you could make in each. And so, when I discovered toastie bags, it was such an amazing revelation.

My roommate and I even once made chicken nuggets from frozen. The cheese inside ...  Read the complete review

On a recent trip to my local poundshop, I came across these toastie pockets . Having seen adverts for similar products on TV, I decided to give them a go . Essentially, these are two little pockets made of some kind of heat resistant plastic, beige in colour with a closed bottom and an open top, which also has a small handle shaped hole . The idea is that you can slot a cheese sandwich or such into the pocket, and then whack it into the toaster for an easy, mess free, toasted sandwich. They actually came with a handly little sheet that suggested other things you could cook in the pockets too , such as sausages, fish fingers, and burgers, although ...  Read the complete review

There's something counter intuitive about cooking toasties in a vertical rather than horizontal position and to cook them in a toaster seems just ridiculous. I never knew these Toastie Pockets existed until my wife bought a pack. I had had a bit of a craze on toasted sandwiches, but had been getting admonished on a regular basis for making a mess and not clearing up afterwards. It was always ever thus. Do you know, she deliberately used to hide the sandwich maker right at the back of the corner cupboard in the kitchen so in retaliation I would do them under the grill and accidentally let some gubbins spill out of my over full sandwich onto her precious ...  Read the complete review
