Breville sandwiches..

[hiccup]

You fool, you could've had ours, we never use it.

Twas only £8. When it gets too caked in cheese I shall throw it away and take you up on your kind offer.

Used to have that. It mooed. We used to sit it on the window of our living room and moo at people going past. We were stoned, I think. Toasties AND side-splitting entertainment. Splendid.

I've got a pig one but it doesn't oink

Haven't used it for years. The bread used to stick to the plates far too often which resulted in ripped toasties and serious cheese spillage I use those toastie bags now which aren't as good but the lack of mess almost makes up for it.

Sounds like it was them that did the mooing

Dammit I want a toastie machine now, but a grill one.

Has anyone quoted Daisy from Spaced and her 'sandwich toasters as relationship metaphor' monologue in the comic store with Tim and Bill Bailey (Bilbo the store owner)?

Daisy: In the end, our relationship was just like a sandwich toaster. You know, you just forget you've got one. And it just sits there on the top of the cupboard collecting a layer of greasy fudge. And even if you do see it you just assume it's broken, you think if it's working I'd be using it all the time, but you don't and it just sits there. Then one day, you get an overwhelming desire for toasted sandwiches, you know? And you get it down and it works, and you can't believe it, you know? And then you make every kind of toasted sandwich there is, you have toasted sandwich parties. You make Marmite and cheese, chocolate and...

Tim: Pilchards.

Daisy: Banana and...

Bilbo: Acorns.

Daisy: Acorns. And then as quickly as the desire comes, it just goes. And then you put the toaster sandwich maker away. And, you know what?

Tim: What?

Daisy: You don't miss it.

Bilbo: So what you're saying is 'Don't hide the toasted sandwich maker away, use him regularly and you'll get the most out of him'.

Tim: No, she's saying 'Chuck your boyfriend, have a sandwich'.

Nope. I'm still in amazement that someone actually uses those toastie plastic bags. I thought they only existed in Bettaware catalogues.

[feyr]

I've bought myself a new Breville toastie machine today, despite not really having kitchen room for it. I will now be living off cheese toasties.

PS - this is the nearest thread I could find on the subject, so apologies for the age of it.

It's a well known fact that cheese toasties are the diet of the Gods.
Less well known: peanut butter can be nearly as satisfying - and you can do savoury-ish (with a bit of salt/spice/coconut/ other satay-like seasoning) or sweet (with some dark chocolate) versions as well.

Any top tips for recipes people? I've not had a Breville for years, so any suggestions gratefully received.

Cheese and bacon or cheese and brown sauce are pretty good. You can also do some baked beans on the inside and have a baked beans toastie.

 

[idumea]

god I want a sandwich toaster now

 

[Boycey]

god I want a sandwich toaster now

pretty sure there's one about.

 

[MrSki]

Baked bean & cheese or should that be cheese & baked bean? Spice it up with HPS or maybe add a bit of onion.

Don't try a cheese & pickle toastie. Tis fucking orrible.

 

[kalidarkone]

Brie and cranberry!

 

[ShiftyBagLady]

My poor boy is deprived. He's never had a toasted cheese sandwich

 

[moose]

Jam and coconut!

 

[whoha]

Cottage pie. Yes really.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Jam and coconut!

 

[mwgdrwg]

Tuna mayo toastie is nice.

 

[yardbird]

Mine's at the back of a cupboard and hasn't been out for many years.
Going to get it out now.
Cheese and bacon I think

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Tuna mayo toastie is nice.

Tuna is evil, but perhaps pilchards in tomato sauce would be a good alternative.

That sounds nice too

 

[farmerbarleymow]

That sounds nice too

I'll try it and report back.

 

[moose]

Don't laugh at my jam and coconut - it's like a Salford peshwari naan.

What model did you buy and is it any good? Am on the hunt for one myself. The budget Breville has some really bad reviews on Amazon...
Cheers!

The one I bought was VST041. I've only used it once so far, but it worked a treat and as expected, so no complaints so far. And the plates are dishwasher-safe, which is ideal.

Is there any point in buying one if you don't want to use cheese?

Yes, you could use it to have moose's invention - jam and coconut. Or a cottage pie toastie, or pilchards.
