If you are looking for a particular model which isn’t shown please let us know and we will include it on the site.

Here is our advice for things to consider before purchasing:

  • They can be quite messy to clean so consider the later models with removable hot plates. Non-stick plates are expected now.
  • Size is important, some are designed for one sandwich. Not ideal if you have a family of four to feed, but you can get much bigger sizes and even deep dishes for larger deep fill toasties.
  • A timer of warning light will stop you burning your carefully constructed toasted sandwich.
  • Like all things buying the best quality goods ultimately means they last longer. This is also true about sandwich makers the better ones tend to be bigger toast better and require less maintanance.
  • If you suffer from anything like strain or arthritis you should be aware that a small sandwich maker can be awkward to close, depending on the amount of ingredients and size and thickness of the bread. Consider a sandwich press.

Breville Toastie Maker Review

We have just tested the new Breville Sandwich Toaster we are extremely pleased with the results.

Breville TR40 Sandwich Maker

First off it looks great in my kitchen, some of the others can look a little plastic

It takes about five minutes to heat up, there is no locking mechanism so no fiddly clamp to seal the edges. It doesn’t seal the bread so you may need to be careful if you fill it with lots of ingredients.

The toasting grills are really good and heat the bread evenly. It took approximately 6 minutes to toast our cheese and tomato sandwich which tastes  absolutely delicious. We think this has something to do with the air being able to reach the ingredients, but we are not scientists.

The price is quite expensive but we feel it worth it for a Breville. You can only really fit two sandwich on at once, so if you have many mouths to feed, I wouldn’t go for this one. However we are going to use this to make other types of paninis and toasted bagets in the next week so it pretty versatile. Its looks just like the sandwich grills you see in coffee shops and tastes better as its much cleaner! Only thing is you have to make the sandwich yourself. we bought our from Amazon as delivery was free. Take a look here it might be still in stock, tr40 sandwich maker.

Guide to the Sandwich Maker

The modern date Sandwich maker was invented in the 1970s by John O’Brian. His company Brevillle adopted the inspiration from early Jaffles a Belguim implement for toasting over a fire or stove. The early days of toasted sandwich were very messy as the early machines could seal the sandwich and stop the extremely hot ingredients breaking in the hands of the diner. John patented the design to seal the edges resulting in the product you see today. A typical sandwich maker consists of two hot plates powered by an electrical coil. The modern design has stayed more or less true to the original models. With the addition of thermometer dials, lights to show the unit is hot enough and more lately deeper filled trays to allow more geneorous portions in the sandwichs.
