Ever had a personal sandwich maker?

[T&C]

I have one. Sure, my wife sometimes makes me sandwiches for lunch. Always seems to taste better when someone else makes it... might be just me though. Bought this last week.... had one like it, it seems like 20 years ago, never thought about it until I saw one at a walmart... under ten bucks. 

 

I used to do cut chicken breasts to fit, the usual ham&cheese, eggs... etc.  Meatballs with sauce and cheese work well too as you can control what is in your Hot Pocket. 

 

This is just a thing to play around with other than my nether parts... any good idea's?

Yes.  My wife.

She can manipulate one of these contraptions?

Those are great!  Wonder if mine is still around?  Maybe 10-20 years since Ive seen it.

 

Grilled Cheese or pizza samdwiches

You can add a mixture of cream cheese, diced cooked chicken, crumbly bleu and some Franks.  Boom!  Buffalo chicken joints!

If she had to.  But she can do it better without one.

Got lucky with her.  Beautiful and can cook.

Oh I know... like I said, just a throwback. 

 

Butter in each vessel with garlic powder and a bit of salt and pepper and 2 large shrimp in each side...

Another gem.  Got one of these years ago at a silent auction for $10.  I've probably used it 100 times.  Love it.

This is what I grew up on using that sandwich maker. I love pizza sando's.

They had those too, along with a griddle, an egg maker, a mini cake maker, a waffle maker, and another that I can't remember. I almost got one of those but stuck with the old standard... hadn't seen one in a long time.

I know.  I'm just having fun.  These things are great when you don't have someone making stuff for you.

Word to the wise.  Clean up is a biotch on a no carb diet.

That's basically a panini press, which is essential equipment in any kitchen! 

 

If you like your panini caldo, you gotta have one of these!

Not basically.  It IS a panini press.

I have a Griddler by Cuisinart which is a combination of electric griddle, grill, panini maker, and sandwich maker.  Love it.   It has 2 reversible plates, one side a flat plate and the other side is a grill plate, that pop out that you can wash in the dishwasher.

Not happening with this cheapo. Haven't used it yet but tonight probably would have been a good choice... 1 day leftover rice from a mexican place nearby, salsa, chicken I broiled 2 days ago... 2 legs left, and random various cheeses we usually keep around anyways. That is all going on in the oven on low. 

 

I really want to make grilled garlic shrimp on this thing, probably next weekend. Did it in the past and it turned out as best as it could have. Shell on works best... butter, garlic powder, and black pepper. Easy as *****.

I've got to get a new one. I was given one that was made out of aluminum or some other cheap metal. The hinge broke the very first time I used it. I have many memories of camping in the Adirondacks when I was a wee lad making mountain pies with the one my parents had.

We had one, used it a lot until the latch broke one day. Haven't replaced it yet, but maybe one of these days.

My latch broke, too.  I just put an ove glove on and press it down.  I'll get another one someday.
