It doesn't work like that though. I know it should do, but the rules of physics just don't apply to Warburtons bread. It was actually devised to be the most absorbent substance on the planet for fat*, which then goes crisp.

* which is why its so damn fine for chip butties too

We fight over the cheese dregs. Might have to get one of those single ones when we get the camper. Where do you get them from

Found someone on ebay who would post a Breville to Holland.

We are now T-Day minus 7 and counting.

The sad thing is Warbies bread is mostly made using Canadian wheat 🙁

I would've thought that thick warburtons stuff is a bit too thick for the innards to get properly melted?

Ive heard that stale warburtons makes ideal lagging for hot water pipes/boilers etc, just damp it down a bit and slap it on, the mice wont eat it they`ve got more sense.

I knew a lad who worked at Warbies in Shaw near Oldham, at lunchtime he would buy a deformed uncut loaf for 10p, scoop out the middle and take it across the road to the chippy, they would fill it with chips and gravy, the bizarre thing was he was then and still is a racing snake.

I used to love fish finger and tartar sauce toasties.

Allow three per toastie and allow the tartar sauce to cool for about three days prior to eating or loose the roof of your mouth.

A light Starter - ham and pickle, Fish(finger) course, the main sausage and beans, cheese course - 4 cheeses and chutney in one toasty and pudding - Bread and butter pudding toasty.

guys, guys!

Have just got in from the pub, and Mrs Stoner has put out leftover roast lamb....

It is, as I type, sizzling behind me together with mint jelly in a toasted sandwich. I can barely type what with the drool...

Nutella toastie for the girls. I'm going to attempt the egg. We have specifically aquired crap white bread for this. 🙂

I don't believe you. What bread did you have beforehand?

I normally do the half way house of Hovis Best of Both. But that's not going to cut it for toastie making duties.

It's been toasty lunch heaven this week.
Next week I'm going for the healthy (had too much cheese this week) fish finger option, with lashings of tom sauce/ketchup.

That appears to be a sandwich press rather than a toasty maker.

That's not a toastie maker, it's a sandwich press. Do keep up.

pannini's

a) It's spelt "panini."

b) One does not use an apostrophe on a plural.

c) "Panini" is a plural to start with and doesn't require an S either.

d) Imbecile.

I'm not normally one for grammar pedantry, but three mistakes on one word is mightily impressive and made me want to claw my eyes out from the horror.

Well... After some initial scepticism, and definitely not sharing in my child-like glee at its arrival, Mrs Binners has embraced the toastie maker.

On getting back from the pub last night, she was possessed with the kind of inspiration that only several vodka and cokes can provide.... The pulled pork and onion Toastie!!!

Bloody lovely it was too!!!!! Perfect post-pub fodder!!! Almost kebab-esque in its beer fuelled beauty. The pork had been in the slow cooker, in ginger beer, all day! Highly recommend!!! 🙂

Completely off topic, but ooh, pork and ginger beer. I've done the ham and coke thing but that sounds interesting...

It's bloody lovely! Pork shoulder joint, bottle of ginger beer, onions and plenty of paprika, bang in slow cooker, leave on low for 12 hours until it's so tender it just falls apart! Delicious! 😀

Still using our vintage Breville here.

My personal favourite inventions are brie with red onion chutney and smoked mackerel with beetroot and horseradish.

PS. Paninis are football stickers.

She's a keeper that one 😀

I'm drooling thinking about it, I also cook gammon joints in ginger beer.

39 quid on a sandwich toaster misses the point. £15 max and ideally less. Back of the garage, car boot sale, loft fine for extra points.

You're bloody right on that score Mr overshoot! Mrs Binners embrace of the toasty maker is really coming up trumps in no uncertain terms! I just rode home from Manchester in bucketing rain. Arriving home like a drowned rat, I grumpily climb out of my sopping wet kit, grab a shower, and am, on returning downstairs, presented with a glass of red and two toasties. Red Leicester and chorizo, and bacon and Stilton! Bloody hell they were good!!!!

You really can't ask for much more than that!!! 😀

Chopped beef and ragu the other evening

I cant say I agree with the "Warburtons toastie" fans. The slices are too big.

You want a weedy thin bit of synthetic bread-u-like that allows you to fill the cavities to the max while STILL being able to shut the lid and not have the top slices shuffle forwards.

Top tip. Dont bother with Heinz Sandwich Spread in one (I was going for the Full 80's thing). I spent most of my lunchtime licking hot dripped sandwich spread off my desk.*

* not a euphemism.
