When it comes to culinary delights, there’s very little as comforting or satisfying as a toastie. They’re easy to make and delicious to eat, especially if you add a bowl of soup to the side. Plus, the possibilities are endless when it comes to fillings. Bolognese with cheese? Yes, please.
However, using a toastie maker can be a bother, particularly when it comes to cleaning. Trying to get all that burnt on cheese off? No, thank you, it almost takes away the pleasure of eating it. If this is your issue, this nifty little gadget from Morphy Richards could be the answer to your problems. The Mico Microwave Toastie Sandwich Maker, which usually retails at £34.99, is now reduced to just £18.99 in the Amazon Prime Day deals.
In order to get take advantage of the deal, shoppers need to be Prime members. Amazon is currently offering a 30-day free trial, allowing access to Prime Day discounts without spending a penny.
It’s so simple to use: simply whip up your favourite toastie as usual and slot it into the toastie maker. Make sure to clamp it shut and then pop it into the microwave.
It uses heat-retaining plates that mimics conventional cooking to create crispy toasties. The plates are wrapped in silicone and the two sides clip securely together. All it needs is a few minutes for crispy sandwiches and works on paninis, bagels and more, reports the Manchester Evening News.
The Mico has racked up a stellar average rating of 4.5 out of five stars from thousands of customer reviews. One delighted shopper gushed: “This is amazing, you can cook anything in it.” Another purchaser revealed: “This toastie maker is a revelation I will be honest I didn’t think it would work, but it sure did produce a fine crisply toasted toastie! It has become my go-to lunch almost every day.”
However, you can’t please everyone. One buyer grumbled: “This is a great little toastie maker if its just for one. 1.5 mins on each side makes a nice toastie depending on thickness of bread and filling. Easy to clean. A bit expensive for what it is though.”
If you’re a stickler for tradition and can’t bear to say goodbye to a classic toastie maker, this Deep Fill Sandwich Toaster from Dunelm is a solid purchase. It can make two toasties at the same time and is priced at just £22. With a solid 4.7 out of five stars, one happy customer wrote: “It makes nice toasties but takes much longer than the 3 minutes recommended if you want them crispy. It is really easy to clean even without greasing the plates.”
Another toastie-making option are these Toastabags from Lakeland. All you need to do is make your sandwich, place in the bag, and pop in the toaster. Priced at £7.99 for two, Lakeland claims they can be be used up to 500 times, are non-stick and easy to clean.
