IIRC your first attempt likely should be to clean off manufacturing residue, like boiling a new kettle a few times over before use.

I want waffles myself now. That might be this weekend's treat.

Our Salter toastie maker arrived a few weeks ago, thanks to Binners recommendation.

After much use (not the waffle plates yet) the conclusion is a WIN.
The co-op sell a two pack of small ciabatta and those toasted on the panini plate with cheese, tomato and onion were the favourite snack so far.

Excellent! Glad to hear its a result @Bunnyhop

My 'advice' is rarely worth listening to, but the subject of preparing cheese-based snacks is something of a specialist subject, bordering on a religion.

Its a scandal that I haven't used it for ciabatta yet, so as Morrisons do nice fresh ones, I'm going to get some and christen the panini plates over the weekend. Cheese, tomato and onion ticks all my boxes 😀

Toast two bits of bread.
Butter or spread of some kind.
Mature cheese.
Spread of pickle or whatever.

30 seconds in the microwave.

Job done.

Frying pan is surely the best toastie maker? 😀

Too many opinions here that miss the fundamental point of a dedicated toastie maker.

It *must* seal the edges to make that pocket of plasma when done.

Pocket of Plasma is the name of my prog rock band's second album.

+1 for the brevile and waffle plates

Tefal snack time looked very flexible but brexit shipping hassles make it ridiculously hard to get hold of

I have to stress in true STW stylee, that the onion was from a farmer's market stall, the tomatoes were tiny on the vine and the cheese a mature 'Butler's secret' cheddar.
:o)

Butler’s Secret Cheddar was their first album.

(It was OK but a bit cheesy)

I was lucky enough to get one of these for my birthday recently. I love how the hinges pivot allowing thick bread/paninis etc to be toasted, very artisan. Much better than the old one that you had to butter the outside of the bread to stop it sticking and would only take ‘normal’  bread and was a battle to clamp shut if you had any decent quantity of filling.
