After seeing my neighbor make her daughter a grilled cheese sandwich that looked more like 2 hot pockets in a sandwich maker, I've been contemplating acquiring one, with the major hold-up being space issues! In spite of those issues, I picked one up yesterday, and I'm quite excited about it!
I rationalized, somehow, that this was actually a 'space-saver' because it has interchangeable grilling plates. There's the 'Hot Pocket' or Turnover plates, the waffle iron, and, my favorite, the one with parallel compression lines somewhat like a traditional grill; it reminds me of the sandwiches at the Barnes & Noble Cafe. We spray the plates with Extra Virgin Olive Oil, which is a big part of the taste. Alex, with a mile-wide smile, kept spouting about the 'fatty goodness' of his millet bread sandwich last night. I was happy to see that it worked for his dense bread! Needless to say, I found the perfect warm temperature and light grilling of my sandwiches absolutely delicious!
I made gluten-free waffles this morning for the kids, and they loved them...
I'm delighted to have a new, novel kitchen toy. This is the biggest kitchen excitement since my English muffin toaster/egg poacher! I'm sure I've had over a hundred of those 'McMuffins' in the past year! At least!
