How do you clean the bags?

I don't, my husband does when he washes up We don't have a dishwasher but they seem to come out fine when just done with the normal washing up. He justs turns them upside down on the drainer to dry out. I got the £3.99 JML ones after reading all the posts on here, tried cheese, tuna & onion and today had ham & cheese and they were great, even with our rubbish toaster! Sainsbury's long life wholemeal bread fits in the bags without having to be cut or squashed too much as well.

Got the JML ones in Boots (on Boots card points - mse after all) used twice and admit I'm a little quirky with my toasties.
1st = "Mr Paul Rankin" potato cakes sandwiched with mushy peas and ketchup. RESULT: half-cooked and bursted in microwave to finish. BUT...
2nd= turn toaster up to full and pop down for second time = "MR PR again" with half tin of Heinz veggie beans and bangers (careful not to overfill - had rest of tin cold, is it only me that loves cold beans?) = result and far less messy than my toastie maker.
Need to try them out with Pop Tarts before come to a consensus.
DECLARATION OF INTEREST: Am a toastie addict and have "weirder" inventions than most.

I got some of these from ebay, the first attempt didn't go that well as the bread got burnt. There might be a knack to getting the right balance of the filling being melted and the bread being toasted without being burnt.

Can anyone share their tips on how to melt their cheese without burning the bread?

i you toast for 4 mins , half way stop the process and allow the cheese to melt, take it out for like 20-30 secs then put back for the remainder

Thanks OP, I bought some JML ones from Boots not so long ago and am now addicted to cheese, ham and tomato toasties. I don't have a variable width toaster and after a couple of goes the bag now has holes. Should they be more durable than this?

Also, has anyone tried cooking fish fingers in them yet? I want to but a bit scared it might ruin the toaster and bag!

Hi

I use the JML ones and must have used the same bag at least 20 times so far .... no holes at all in it ...

My toaster is " wide slotted " so perhaps that makes a difference .... in a " normal " toaster the toasta bag would obviously fit alot tighter and would perhaps burn ....

If i was you i would sent the bag back to them .... i would imagine that they would send you a replacement one ....

I'll try doing fish fingers in them during the week and let you know how they turn out ..

Anyone got any suggestions for some other fillings ?

I tried these a couple of years ago too and didnt like them at all.
Plus I had to squash them together to fit into my toaster.

I just bought a panini maker and its great! Wonder how long I'll use it for before it ends up in the back of my cupboard lol
