Breakfast with a crispy crust: TOP 5 sandwich makers

Clatronic ST 3477 Price from 729 up to 1 493 ₴ →

The “price-quality” ratio makes the sandwich maker manufactured by the German company Clatronic one of the most attractive options for purchasing in the kitchen.

The device will immediately attract the eye due to the bright blue colour of the case, made of heat-resistant plastic. It will not work to get burned on it during the operation of the device, just as it will not work out and accidentally overturn the sandwich maker — the device rests on high anti-slip legs. Also, it will not be possible to harm the device through the influence of high temperatures, because. it has overheat protection, which allows you to protect the heating elements from failure. This item is becoming relevant due to the high power of the sandwich maker (750 W) and, accordingly, its rapid heating.

Two compartments are designed to load sandwiches, capable of making four triangular toasts. There is a lock-lock on the handles of the sandwich maker, so while the sandwiches are being prepared, the hands remain free. In addition, the lock helps to press the bread more tightly to the surface for more even toasting.

Since the sandwich maker does not have a particularly long power cord, it is advisable to provide the presence of an outlet near its location. The device is turned on and off by connecting it to the network — there are no separate power keys on the case. On the one hand, this is not particularly practical, but on the other hand, it made it possible to make the design of the sandwich maker as simple and unpretentious as possible in operation.

Redmond RSM-M1402

The Redmond RSM-M1402 sandwich maker is among the representatives of the middle class — the device does not stand out from competitors with any specific features, it just does its job well.

The sandwich maker has a laconic design — a black plastic case with a non-marking metal insert on the back. The dimensions of the case are very limited, which allows you to store the device in cramped conditions. There are no controls on the case — the sandwich maker is turned on and off only by connecting it to the network.

The frying surface is designed for 4 triangular toast (2 rectangular slices of bread). It is not necessary to lubricate it with oil during operation — the Teflon non-stick coating will protect dishes from burning. For more uniform frying, it is advisable to use a special clamp-lock on the handle of the device. The main thing is not to overdo it with the amount of filling in sandwiches — this is fraught with breakage of the clamp if there is too much of it.

The sandwich maker's delivery set includes an illustrated booklet with a variety of recipes — from sandwiches to desserts. This is further proof that the device does not limit its capabilities to just toasting, as many believe. It is enough to show a bit of imagination and a sandwich maker will help you quickly turn it into a delicious meal.

Important advice. Do not use metal scrapers to clean the work surface of the sandwich maker. They can damage the non-stick coating, which will adversely affect the quality of the prepared dishes.

Moulinex Ultracompact SM154135

Household appliances from the French company Moulinex occupy almost all niches in the modern kitchen. One of those is the quick and easy preparation of hot sandwiches.

Even a child will master the rules for operating the Mouinex SM 1541 sandwich maker — you just need to connect it to the network, wait for the green indicator light to light up, signaling that the device has heated up to the required temperature, and, of course, load sandwiches inside. Two sections are designed respectively for two rectangular pieces of bread, from which you can get 4 triangular toasts.

The model is equipped with a special lock on the lid, designed to tightly fix it and press the bread to the work surface. This allows you to achieve uniform frying of sandwiches, and also makes it possible not to hold the lid with your hands, waiting for the end of their preparation. On average, one cooking cycle takes from 30 seconds to 2 minutes (depending on the type of bread and the degree of its roasting).

Minor flaws of the model lie in the too short cord for connecting to the network and the lack of a button to turn off the device (it stops working only when the plug is pulled out of the socket). The disadvantages are not so significant, but they can have a minor impact on the usability of the sandwich maker. In contrast to the above, the device is very convenient to store — it does not take up much space and can be installed vertically in a kitchen cabinet.

Hot sandwiches and toasted toast are not the only thing that Moulinex SM 1541 can do. It will also help you start the morning with a small omelette or cheesecakes, also baked in an atypical triangular shape.

DEX DSM-26

The DEX Sandwich Maker is a real multifunctional food processor that can cook a wide variety of dishes that can satisfy the tastes of the most sophisticated gourmet.

The "chip" of the device is the presence of a number of interchangeable plates. The delivery set includes as many as 6 different nozzles, each of which is focused on cooking its own kind of goodies: sandwiches, waffles, muffins, donuts, nut cookies and a mini grill. The last removable surface is designed both for frying meat or fish, and for cooking vegetables or grilled mushrooms. All nozzles are easy to install, have a high-quality non-stick coating and are easy to clean after use.

For the purpose of uniform contact of products with working surfaces, a locking mechanism is located on the handles of the sandwich maker. Judging by the numerous reviews of the owners, it does not have a high degree of reliability, so it should be used with caution so as not to accidentally break the mount (the weak point of the latch). The handles themselves do not heat up during operation, which cannot be said about the upper part of the device case. Over time, due to excessive heat, the paint on the lid may turn yellow or blister.

The model with the DSM-26 index will become an assistant in the quick preparation of breakfasts or snacks for a small family of one or two people. For a large family, it is better to take a closer look at the sandwich maker DEX DSM-36 , which has a larger working surface area and higher power (1400 W versus 760 W for the DSM-26 model).

Moulinex Break Time SW611812

Three interchangeable panels allow you to use the Moulinex SW 6118 sandwich maker in different roles: directly as a sandwich maker, as a waffle maker and as a mini-grill.

The sandwich plate has a rectangular shape with a slight rounding at the top and is designed to toast two pieces of toast bread. The waffle attachment will help you quickly bake Viennese waffles. Well, a mini-grill provides an opportunity to make steaks from meat and fish, fry vegetables on yourself or, for example, cook shawarma at home. In addition to their versatility, the advantages of interchangeable panels are that they are easy to clean after use. The manufacturer allows you to wash them not only by hand, but also by means of a dishwasher. But it is advisable to get ready-made dishes out of the panels only with the help of wooden or silicone spatulas, so as not to inadvertently damage the non-stick coating.

The power level of the sandwich maker is 700 W, which is enough to quickly warm up the work surface and cook food. You will have to control the process with the help of a plug (inserted into a socket) and your own hands, because. the manufacturer did not endow his offspring with a separate power button. But he did not forget to make a niche for storing the power cord on the belly of the device, which simplifies the transportation and storage of the sandwich maker.

Numerous owners of a sandwich maker blame it exclusively on the fragility of the lid locking mechanism. With intensive use, the lock-lock fails and the handles have to be held manually, since they do not heat up during operation of the device. But if you do not overdo it with the thickness of the prepared dishes, the sandwich maker will serve faithfully for more than one year in a row, pampering households and guests with various goodies.
