Sandwich toasters versus grills With lots of ingredients at play, toastie makers can be fiddly to clean. Look for models with removable plates that are dishwasher-safe. How we test sandwich toasters A good sandwich toaster should seal your toastie well so you don't have any leaky filling. It should also cook the sandwiches evenly, with consistent toasting and heat throughout. How we test Also,for the perfect toastie you need to throw in plenty of seasoning, herbs and spices. Toasties can take big flavors so don’t be afraid to use them. The only thing to be careful with is salt. Cheese and a number of meats contain quite a lot of salt which is enhanced by the cooking process. So, plenty of pepper but not too much salt. Don’t worry about leakageThe main thing to consider is the features you’d like your toastie maker to have. Here are the ones we recommend you take into account before you add to basket: Safety features Removable plates Make for easier cleaning as you can pop them in a washing up bowl. If they’re dishwasher safe you shouldn’t have to do any scrubbing.

We assess the consistency of the sandwiches’ colour and note the evenness of toasting.

Of course, a toastie maker isn't essential for making a toastie, it just makes the process more convenient. Power on and indicator lightsMost toasters and grills have power-on lights, and some form of indicator that tells you when the plates are hot enough for you to cook on. For example, a green LED will light up or a screen will flash. The main thing to consider before you buy is the plates. Do you want deep-fill ones so you can cram in as much filling as possible, or would you like removable plates that you can put in the dishwasher so your kitchen can be clean ASAP?

Heat-up times vary widely - some of those we tested heated up in less than 90 seconds, whereas other took more than five. This filling will grill, crisp up, and take on a more intense flavor that adds a new dimension to your toastie. Use plenty of butter or oil for a crispy toastie The perfect toasted sandwich has a crispy outer shell and the best way to get it is with some butter or oil. This is the most important tip for the perfect toastie. When you are cooking the toastie do not open the sandwich toaster to early.Watch out for little nooks and crannies near the cooking plates - there's likely to be leakage at some point, and if there are gaps in your toastie maker you'll have a tough time scraping out the drips.
