"Not only does it make my favorite toasted sandwich (cheese and pineapple) we use it in our household for many other favorite recipes.

First off with the design. The flat plates make this gadget handy for alot more than toasted sandwiches.

We use it almost like a frying pan but with way less fat. We cook eggs (fried or omelet style), make pancakes or pikelets, cook sausages, bacon, chicken, beef, pork, chops, patties and even fish. We also cook vegetables like carrots, courgettes, beans, asparagus whatever you like. Just about whatever you cook in a frying pan can be done in this sandwich maker. The sky is the limit on ideas for recipes here.

It is a nice size to make a meal for yourself as you can put everything on it at once if you wish or can be used to cook bigger meals for your family.
There is a hot plate on the bottom and on the lid so heat is distributed quite evenly and cooking some foods is quite quick and it browns the food as well. And when you are done and have allowed the sandwich maker to cool, you just simply clean up with a paper towel or damp cloth as the plates are non stick. This gadget is so easy to use you will be glad you bought it. It is one of our most used gadgets in our kitchen.

I highly recommend it to others",

"this has been a roaring success in our househol of five (four men). It is in use every day with minimal cleaning involved and enough space for three ciabattas or paninis. I love it. Very good value"

The features I like about this grill are a single grease collection area - whereas other grills sometimes drain grease from the outer corners of the grill, this one drains grease from the inside center of the grill into a drain plate underneath the grill. Having a central draining area makes the grill easier to clean. The plate underneath is made of plastic, and cleans up easily. Another feature I like, but my husband isn't sure about is that this grill has only one heat control. I like having 1 control - I know if the grill is on, and what it's set on. The other grill had 3 controls - 1 for temperature (200-425 degrees)- which was called the "griddle", the central control called "selector" which chooses between the griddle, or grill/panini, and then the control on the right hand side called "Grill/Panini" and the controls are warm, low, med, high, and sear. I never knew if the grill was on until it got hot. There was no indicator light or anything else to indicate the grill was on and heating. My husband preferred the grill with 3 controls because he felt it gave him more control over the heat. I don't agree. Even though there were 3 controls, the only one that really mattered was the Griddle control - which actually set the temperature of the grill/griddle.
