Best Toasted Sandwich Maker 2018: Things to Consider
Removable dishwasher safe plates: Amazingly, not all toasted sandwich makers come with removable and dishwasher safe plates. Meaning you have to unplug the machine and scrub off any burnt bits. If you only look for one feature in a toasted sandwich maker, this is it.
Is it deep fill: Deep fill toasted sandwich makers are a relatively new invention too. Look for a machine that clearly displays a “deep fill” feature if you’re hoping to make more than just a ham and cheese toastie. A sprung top plate is a good alternative for making larger sandwiches.
Waffle and Panini attachments: The best-toasted sandwich makers offer versatility. This comes in the form of interchangeable plates that turn your device into a 3-in-1 machine. Having the ability to make a panini, ciabatta, fresh waffle and a toasted sandwich represents a well-designed appliance.
Vertical storage option: Kitchen space is a real issue. If you’re not using your toasted sandwich maker every day, then you should look for a device that comes with can be stored vertically.
Temperature control: This is a feature that’s only available on the high-end or semi-pro models. It’s not strictly needed for making a good toasted sandwich, but if you wanted to use the plates for any other use it’s good to have. If you’re planning to buy one of the more expensive models, this feature should definitely be on your list.
