Things to consider before buying the perfect sandwich-maker?
Here are five things you need to consider before buying a sandwich-maker that best suits your needs:
- How powerful the device is
Power is a crucial element to look for, in a sandwich-maker/ toaster. A fast-heating sandwich-maker saves time. Opt for a 700-750 watt device. Even if you are in a rush, a high powered sandwich-maker, will equip you to make a sandwich in minutes.
- Slots for Slices
Sandwich-makers/ toasters are not universal in design. Various toasters have different slots for bread slices. Some can even make up to four sandwiches in a go. Depending on your family-size, you can choose a sandwich-maker, with appropriate number of slots. A sandwich-maker with four slots, is ideal for a medium-sized household.
- Plate Surface
On a hectic morning, removing toasts from a sandwich-maker, can feel time-consuming! So choose a model with a non-toxic ceramic covering. The non-stick surface prevents sandwiches from sticking to the device, particularly in case of cheese sandwiches. Non-stick surfaces, are also easy to clean.
- Heat-Control Options
Only a handful of sandwich-makers, have this feature. With this advanced option, you can make sandwiches with varying levels of crispness. Kutchina’s smart sandwich-toasters, comprise red and green LEDs that indicate, when to turn off the device. The green-light indicates that the sandwich is ready to be served.
- Handle-Type
You must also evaluate the device’s safety-features. Some sandwich-makers, come with plastic-handles while others come with stainless-steel ones. Our advice is that you choose a sandwich-maker with an ergonomic grip – that does not heat up and is therefore convenient for you to use.
Tips to make the perfect sandwich
Here are some of the best practices to make awesome sandwiches via your sandwich-maker:
- Quality bread
The sandwich’s main-component, bread, must be picked with care. The best choice is to use dry, thick bread for wet filling. You may also choose multi-grain, pita or brown bread.
- Using spread of choice
Pick the right sandwich spread for a creamy texture. A good sandwich spread is moisturizing and creamy. You can use BBQ sauce, mayonnaise, or any other spread – as per your choice. You may also try mustard, homemade salsa-sauce, or pesto.
- Using sauce of choice
Make sure to use the sauce of your choice sparingly, as too much sauce, can ruin your sandwich. If uncertain about the sauce quantity, use a dip.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- Should one pre-heat a sandwich-maker?
