Toastie, sandwich maker.

Risteard

In Australia they call them jaffle irons. You can even get a really cool (excuse the pun) one which you can hold into an open fire.

Delicious! (As long as there's no minging cheese in it.)

Had a sandwich toaster here for a while. It got used for a few months, and then got shoved to one side due to the faff and cleaning. Eventually chucked it out for recycling.

Yes - we've had those in the past and they are a nightmare to clean

Have you tried the microwave versions ?

we have one now, they are much more practical and do make a very good sandwich and would make a better gift since take up a lot less space
Very easy to clean too 
Only downside it makes 1/2 as much as the normal electric ones do per go

I’ve got one of those and it does work well. Only problem is that after a handful of uses, the silicone has already started to split.

Yes, our toastie maker is a non-electric one which we simply use on the stove top.  Also works really well on the woodburner or on a barbecue.  When we get power cuts, its toastie time!

Ok - I did wonder about all that extra silicon - I have the Mark 1 version - which seems to be a better design then  
Usual cost cutting measures muck up a good product ?
