Sandwich makers and breakfast stations

A hot sandwich with a crispy crust is ready in just a few minutes. Sandwich makers and breakfast stations help with quickly preparing breakfast and snacks. They include classic sandwich makers with triangular plates that seal the edges of the bread, models with grill or interchangeable plates for paninis and waffles, as well as multifunctional breakfast stations that combine sandwich plates with a frying pan or saucepan on a single base.

Sandwich makers and breakfast stations

A hot breakfast or snack can be made without switching on the oven. Sandwich makers and breakfast stations differ mainly in the type of plates and the number of functions. The most common are classic sandwich makers with triangular plates, in which sliced bread is toasted with a filling, such as cheese and ham.

Sandwich makers with grill plates have a ribbed surface that leaves the typical stripes on the bread. Models with interchangeable plates combine several functions in one appliance, such as a sandwich maker, grill and waffle maker, and the plates can be removed and washed separately.

Breakfast stations are designed for those who want to prepare a whole breakfast in one go. They combine, for example, sandwich plates with a non-stick frying pan for fried eggs, bacon or pancakes and a saucepan with a steamer basket, in which eggs can be boiled or vegetables warmed.

When choosing, it pays to look at the power, which determines how quickly the plates heat up, and at the plate size to suit the number of people. Indicator lights showing power-on and when the temperature is reached, a handle lock that keeps the lid closed during cooking, and non-slip feet are practical.

The non-stick surface of the plates prevents food from sticking and makes cleaning easier, for which a damp cloth is enough once the appliance has cooled down and been unplugged.
