The Best Reasonably Priced 3-in-1 Sandwich Makers.
If you would like to make your own toasted sandwiches, then there are a multitude of cheap and cheerful sandwich makers available from as little as £15 that will do the job. However, if you are feeling a little more adventurous, the 3-in-1 sandwch maker could be a more stimulating option.
Why the 3-in-1 option?
Well for a start you are effectively getting 3 different machines in 1.
A typical 3-in-1 snack maker is a toasted sandwich maker with detachable, interchangeable plates that allows the user to make toasted sandwiches, waffles and grilled items including paninis and even wraps.
Apart from having all those cooking choices the removable plates make for easy cleaning.
Additionally, having so many appliances in one device means you save on kitchen storage compared to buying a seperate sandwich maker, grill and waffle maker.
TOASTED SANDWICH PLATES
These are your traditional toastie plates that you will find in any sandwich maker since Breville brought out the first machine as long ago as the mid 1970's. These are the go to plates for the much loved cheese toastie but are ideal for creating an array of deliciously filled toastie snacks.
GRILL PLATES
The grill plates can also be used for toasted sanwiches, but instead of sealing the filling, the sandwich is placed on the bottom plate and the top plate acts more like a press, toasting the sandwich with crispy grill lines. As well as pressed toasted sandwices, these can also be used for paninis and toasted wraps. Some models can also grill bacon and vegetables but this would need to be checked first.
WAFFLE PLATES
The waffle plates are ideal for trying your favourite breakfast recipe mix if these lovely golden delicacies are your particular choice.
