I think its funny that there are so many people hating on this product. My then, 9 year old son asked for one for Christmas, so he could make his own breakfast sandwiches. He didn't know how to cook rounded eggs for a sandwich, and this just made way more sense. Something he could do by himself, in the kitchen. Fast forward 2 years, the original one is at my husbands job, so he can make sandwiches there, and we've bought the dual sandwich maker, because it is that convienent.
This breakfast sandwich maker is amazing my family has one that can cook 2 at a time and I would definitely give it a five star rating for good it cooks things
Picked one up brand new at Salvation Army for $1.99 probably the most used breakfast utensil in the house don’t have to cook for my kids in the morning and we have chicken so fresh eggs always.
I used to work at Sonic and learned a trick; Fold your cheese into a cross. It eliminates the melty cheese corner mess and makes the center bites cheesier.
We've had our sandwich maker for years but didn't really use it much until my oldest son (11 years old) started asking for egg sandwiches. I pulled this out and he is now making his own routinely and it's the best thing ever for him. We don't have to cook his eggs and worry about the stove being on etc...
I got the hamilton beach 2 sandwich maker just yesterday. It was a free gift and although it was brand new, it didn't come with any instructions. So it's really nice to see these kinds of videos that giving tips and explanations for those of us who don't have everything that is should have come with.
Tylers mom-I got one for Christmas. It works wonderful!! I do not scramble the egg, just poke it a little! You do not need to toast the muffin, it comes out perfectly toasted. Just break up the cheese or use shredded. Works nice with ham. It comes out perfect every time. Never falls apart. Easy enough for the kids to use!! Its super easy...no toasting or frying. Just all in one machine and cheap and healthy!!!!
Just got mine today. There is no comparison, this little machine out ranks fast food, and homemade! It makes the best breakfast sandwichs I have ever tasted.
I've had mine for several years, it has a timer. After preheating I put a round-cut piece of whole wheat bread in first, the equivalent to about a tablespoon and a half of shredded cheddar cheese, a slice of Taylor Pork Roll then lower the next plate, crack an egg, break the yellow, add top piece of bread, close the lid and set the timer for 4 minutes. I use a thin coating of olive oil on the inner top ring and plate to prevent the egg from sticking. Perfect tasty results! There is no need to wash anything afterward, simply wipe it down. You also don't need to use a mit, just lift each part by its handle. When you're adding your egg, you need to act quickly so that the plate that it cooks on doesn't cool too much when it's up as you add ingredients to the lower part. This makes far better sandwiches than you can ever get at McD's!
I've had one of these for years and love it. I usually do an egg and cheese mcmuffin copy. I'll prepare it in a couple minutes then make my morning coffee. When it's done wrap in aluminum foil grab my coffee and head to work. My favorite sandwich is to heat sausage or chorizo, warm the muffin top while doing this then set aside because it won't fit, whip the egg, place the muffin bottom and cheese and pepper, pour in egg mixture and sprinkle sausage on top. Remove when cooked and put muffin top back on, amazing.
Thanks for the video, my son got this second hand and found your video for instructions. It worked great for him to cook his own breakfast without messing up my whole kitchen! I got creative after as there were no english muffins left...a drop of oil and pancake batter thick) in each section which I let cook while I got the egg and cheese ready. Flipped the pancakes and added the egg and cheese. It turned out awesome, but would add bacon next time :D
I have one of these :) and works great..I always put baked honey turkey or honey baked ham on my bun " sandwich meat from the deli" then the cheese...when I add the egg..I always pour some salsa on top of the egg...YUMMY :) usually 5 minutes
Just used this today. We also found that leaving the cheese off saves from a mess, but will still melt perfectly when put on after cooking. Great review, thank you1
Thanks for the review. I bought one and use it for my breakfast sandwich every day. To trim the cheese I usually put the english muffin on top of the cheese slice and trim it to fit. Used it with round back bacon, straight pre-cooked bacon and pre-cooked round sausages. Taste great. Oh, and it's so easy to clean. Just a damp cloth does it and it's ready to use again. Just a couple of things missing though, it really could use an on/off switch and secondly, a basic timer could be useful. As it stands now, you have to stand by the machine so as not to overcook and to turn it off you have to unplug. Other than that...
I have an older version of this and it has a timer. Why did HB take it away? I just bought this model for a gift and it has no timer. Hope she'll like it. I also bought myself a second one (with the timer) for a backup. Love it!
I bought mine last weekend, based off your recommendation! And I love it. I do however find I have to spray the egg ring part only. But other than that, It is a great machine!!!!
I have owned one of these for quite a while. I eggbeaters egg whites with spinach, cheese and bacon pieces on the bottom section. It make the perfect wedding gift. I love mine and highly recommend it.
@@ZandrielGrimm but most sausages and Canadian bacon are already precooked. So you just need to put them in there cold and it will heat them up perfectly. I buy raw chicken sausage form up the patties and cook a whole batch of them at once then I just keep the cooked sausages in my fridge and pop them into the sandwich maker. Sausage and bacon both cook with a lot of grease coming off them so would you really expect something like this to cook it? It also takes a lot longer to cook meats than it does to cook an egg and melt cheese.
How??? All you have to do is throw bread in toaster and cook eggs for a minute. Hame can be micro waved. Literally easier to do it without this machine
I found that the sandwich comes out better if you add the egg without beating it first. But, as stated in the video, you need to pierce the yolk. Using a non stick spray doesn't hurt, either. It actually is better to do that when you first buy the sandwich maker.
It actually blows my mind that these are adults making these childish comments. If you don’t want to buy the product, just DON’T BUY IT, geez with all the stupid insults! Why do we need to know what you think about it? I’m sure this nice lady doing the video doesn’t!
Thank you for the great demonstration. If not for that I would not have known that it doesn’t cook the meat, you have to pre cook it, and that the light doesn’t go out when it’s done. You have to set a timer for 4 minutes. I lost the printed instructions.
My name is Jason and I love my sandwich maker I got the Dual one and it works like a charm will you all do the demonstration on the burrito maker please
I bought this when my kids were in high school, after they graduated I forget this appliance, yesterday I was cleaning and found this little guy and I was to get me a tutorial because I forgot how to used, that is a shame, for 4 years I was making McMuffin and took me 6 to forget about it, I love it this product is great
Thank you for your post; it’s really helpful to see how to properly use the machine. I make these sandwiches for my son before school; they really give him energy!
Use a non stick spray, if you don't it will get messy, it also makes it much easier to clean. I put the bottom piece of muffin over the cheese and meat to use for a template to cut the meat and cheese round to fit the bottom muffin.You can use 2 eggs if you cut the muffin a little thinner on top before you start. You don't have to scramble them, just pierce the yokes on top with a plastic fork. Two eggs may run over from time to time but with the spray it cleans up real easy and makes a much bigger sandwich. The secret is to wait until the green light comes on before you add the eggs. I've used turkey bologna (only 30 calories), Canadian bacon, Ham, pre-cooked Turkey sausage links, and roast beef. It's all good, tastes best with cheddar cheese.
Try using shredded cheddar, no need to cut. I use whole wheat bread rounds (I cut them using a 30 ounce insulated mug, perfect circumference), cheddar cheese and Taylor Pork Roll as the meat, along with one egg (I break the yellow with the egg shell). Four minutes yields perfect results! Like you, I use a thin coat of cooking spray on the top plate and the rings. Nothing to wash, just wipe it down.
@@Tsch6373 Wow I posted that 7 years ago 😀. Been through 3 machines and hundreds of sandwiches. I found the cheese gets over cooked inside the machine so I take the sandwich out of the machine when done, flip the top over, salt the egg(s) patty and place a slice of cheddar over the meat on the bottom, perfect melt and I get two eggs on the sandwich. I have also used bacon bits inside the eggs once they're cracked and pierced and I've also sprinkled shredded cheddar cheese inside the egg. Other things I've tried are thinly sliced or diced onions or mushrooms. Those I let cook in the tray a couple minutes first so my eggs fit, two eggs are tricky but it's an Art :-D . The Cup idea is great for different breads but my muffins are exact size and I almost always use turkey sausage links sliced in half the long way, they fit perfectly on the bottom muffin so unless I use ham or some other meat I don't need to cut the meat or the cheese in a pattern.
I love this thing. It's so simple using this machine. Problem is that the stuff you put in there needs to be somewhat cooked before hand that can be heated or cooked in 5 minutes. Don't need a glove to handle it if you're an adult and not stupid. Bottom of muffin add sandwich meat then cheese cover with dividing plate crack egg on dividing plate, sprinkle some salt/pepper and cover. The oozing cheese that gets a little burnt and cripsy actually makes it better texture wise. yumm Took this to a ski trip and everyone loved it. Plus people can make their own damn sandwiches.
I have had mine for 5 years ... DO ADD a liitle sprits of cooking spray .. i add pre cooked canadian bacon or precooked bacon ....yes 4 minutes but make sure it hot or egg will leak. just pour in slow
I think it's cool. I watch my dad eat a honey bun every morning so I sent him one of these for his birthday. I think he will love it! I wish I owned one!!!
I like it. I made an egg, spinach, and swiss sandwich the other day. I like the bigger slice of cheese. Because cooked cheese is delicious. Mix egg and spinach together, and yes. Press the muffin into the egg. BTW, I tried making French toast in it. Doesn't work.
For those of you struggling with the egg leaking out. Make sure that it’s completely preheated - that way the egg will already start cooking and turning to solid instantly instead of the runny liquid yolk sitting in the compartment and leaking out. I let the egg cook by itself with the lid closed for about 4 minutes to make sure the egg is actually cooked and then I add the top bread layer with the lid closed again for another 2-3 minutes. At least for me, after a few tries this was the only way to ensure the egg is actually cooked and to stop the leaking, maybe mine is defective. Hope this helps
You need to act quickly after preheating when you put ingredients into the lower part. You don't want to let the egg plate cool while you're doing the other. My unit works perfectly because I work quickly - bread, cheese (I use shredded cheddar) a slice of Taylor Pork Roll, lower the next plate, crack the egg, break the yellow with the shell, top it with the other piece of bread, lower the lid and set the timer. Four minutes and it's done! No need to wash, simply wipe it down. No mess, no need for any other utensils. Oh, I do use a toothpick to slide the finished sandwich onto a plate topped with a folded paper towel (to absorb moisture). You're welcome! 😁
I use a 1 cup metal measuring cup to size my bread, cheese and meat. I also cook a blueberry pancake on the stove, then cut it to size - then freeze it. So I can make a macgriddle instead of an egg macmuffin
Thks, you are a very good demo-/-illustrator. Two thumbs up from this viewer. Thanks for having clean nails, the other guy's demo had nails as if he just came in from cleaning auto transmission pans last evening. I just purchased this brand-new, never used sandwicher from 'GoodWill' thrift store yesterday for 6$ and had no instructions, RosenbergTX. : )
+GoatDriver Ram You're welcome, thanks for the positive comments. Lol to the nails! Goodwill does have some great deals at times. Please subscribe if you haven't already :)
Parents bought the dual one. Might not be as fast as making it the old fashion way, but helps me crank out some 10+ sandwiches for the family while multi tasking other chores. :)
I used mine today for the first time. Got it at Goodwill for $6.99 brand new in the box. I used a Jumbo sized egg and it was way too big, so I think I will buy smaller eggs for next time. Either way this machine makes the perfect breakfast sandwich and I will be using it all the time now 🙌. I may even try making grilled cheese with it too.
After you've finished cooking and have unplugged the unit do you let it cool with the lid up or down or does it matter? Also, instead of a cookie cutter to cut excess bread or cheese away you can use an ordinary drinking glass. I use a cup all the time as a biscuit cutter and it works like a charm.
I use a 30 ounce insulated mug to cut my whole wheat bread rounds and use shredded cheese. Saves time and works well! I lower the lid for the cool down. No need to wash, just wipe it. If my kitchen is cold, I'll leave it up, plates separated, to warm my kitchen, lol.
I fold my cheese. I also use biscuits. Mini tortillas, pancakes, anything 4 a bread. Personally i put a frozen sausage patty on the bottom, cook, flip, remove. Sometimesill cook onion, peppers there 2. . I cook the egg i. The middle, whisk, s& p , leave a minute. Then come back put bread, meat, close then on top of egg bread , close, unplug. Leave 5 min. Perfect!
We own this Sandwich maker and it worked really well! The sandwich does come out better and tastes better since everything cooks together and is at the same temperature! Glad you mentioned that there's no indicator on when it's does, we mentioned this in our review we did as well. It turns out Hamilton Beach makes one with a timer! Great review on this sandwich maker!
Nice job on the review. I have one of these and usually use a slice of Canadian bacon, a whole egg, with a slice of Colby which is round where I buy it. I also use Crisco non stick spray which I think might be adding to the muffin being crunchy. I think I'll give your scrambled egg idea a try !
This was given to me after Christmas because the original recipient didn’t like it. I used it and haven’t stopped using it since. Bye-bye burger joints!
Wife bought me one. It works great! Restaurant quality sandwiches if not better. Easy clean up. Most gadgets are just that. This one actually works well imo. Much faster and easier than using a skillet and a toaster as someone suggested, with far superior results.
I'm between this and getting a stove griddle with an egg ring. I like how ook ook easy it is. but doesn't look to make an appealing sandwich, though I imagine it tastes all the same. 10/10 ook ooks. I'm gonna get a griddle and egg rings, but I'm pretty sure I'll grab this in the end after being too lazy.
We got this machine for Christmas and its great! We use it every weekend! I dont think its too hot to touch the parts where you lift But its safer the way you do:)
The parts are WARM, not hot but I'm sure she's doing it so that youtubers don't lift it with their tongues and sue Hamilton Beach. I love this thing and use it every day. Most supermarket eggs are Extra-large so you get a lot of egg hanging out like this. Regular eggs are perfect (get a couple chickens ya heathens) and they don't overspill and some need to cut the extra off...eat it if they do. Buy one, try it, then comment. It's a cheap & healthy meal and others look at me like I'm eating like a king. It's a freaking sammich and chickens literally spit out eggs twice a day. My sammich? English muffin, Canadian bacon, regular egg, whatever cheese I have (usually muenster), and Rooster sauce. Pre-cooked bacon if you feel like doubling up, but not raw bacon for sure (edit: Did you know bacon cooks in a microwave in 1 minute?) . Five minutes and I'm munching on a good breakfast for the active day. Active means I don't sit at home watching The View and THOSE chickens. Comments: A lot of work? It takes 5 minutes! Takes you longer to get through a McDonald's drive through at 5am. Oh? 5am is too early? Work is haaaard. Why do you beat the Egg? Ha, I get jokes but it's best to break the yoke unless you like the Cadbury Egg experience of things gooshing into your mouth. Medium easy is hard to time with this device but possible...done it maybe twice.
Okay, this is probably the one use-case I can understand - you don't have easy access to a stove in the morning and could cook this on your desk. I still think a tiny microwave would have more utility in a dorm than this machine that pretty much does one thing. I can cook eggs in a microwave like a pro.
Improvising, I came up with a good overeasy eggs with the perfect liquid yolk. I don't like hard cooked yolks. Just the right timing & using slider to cook an egg. Down below people have some other good ideas.
To others reading this, I would recommend folding the corners of the cheese into the center of the slice instead of "trimming the edges." That way you're not wasting cheese or throwing tiny scraps of it back into the fridge.
I put defrosted tater tots atop buttered and roasted English muffin with precooked Turkey bacon atop that. And often I leave the egg out and add extra bacon and cheese on top
You can add a kraft single afterwords instead of having that cheesy mess. The singles melt really fast and just the heat from the sandwich is enough to start melting them.
Hi Linda, the pre-cooked meat should go directly on the bottom muffin. You don't have to add time for cooking. When the egg puffs ups, you'll know it's ready 😀
I LOVE this egg maker! Finishes all my needs. Sometimes my mom is too lazy to make me food, got the perfect sandwich right here! :) Thanks also I subscribed.
I see a couple people referring to negative or nasty comments about this machine, but I don't see any negative comments at all. (Where'd they go? Am I missing something?) My experience with this machine is not as great as the others, apparently. I used precooked frozen thin round sausage and it didn't cook through. So not only does meat need to be precooked, it also needs to be not frozen. In other words, cook the meat separately. The rest of the machine was sort of a mess, and didn't work for me. Am I the only failure? Wanted to love this little machine, but I don't.
How do you make a breakfast sandwich in the machine less messy? The egg even beaten flows out tye sides, the cheese does the same. I'm allowing plenty of tome for it to get nice and hot before cooking the sandwich,but still,it's a,big mess.
I think its funny that there are so many people hating on this product. My then, 9 year old son asked for one for Christmas, so he could make his own breakfast sandwiches.

It’s because I literally wasted food trying to get this shit to work.
I absolutely love this thing! Followed the instructions, worked quickly (so that the upper plate didn't cool too much) and perfect results every time!

I got this free about a month ago as a casino give-away......I absolutely love it!

exact reason im here lol just picked one up at goodwill and looooooooooove it!
I have one of these :) and works great..I always put baked honey turkey or honey baked ham on my bun " sandwich meat from the deli" then the cheese...when I add the egg..I always pour some salsa on top of the egg...YUMMY :) usually 5 minutes
Steve Jordan Hi Steve, that sounds really good :-)
Just got one of these today from Goodwill for $7.99, brand new in packaged boxing... Gonna give a try tomorrow. Thanks for the review, as always... :)
Just used this today. We also found that leaving the cheese off saves from a mess, but will still melt perfectly when put on after cooking. Great review, thank you1
Yes, the sandwich is extremely hot so it will melt cheese after cooking. Glad you enjoyed the review. Please subscribe :-)

At least for me, after a few tries this was the only way to ensure the egg is actually cooked and to stop the leaking, maybe mine is defective. Hope this helps
That's what I do
Thank you
You need to act quickly after preheating when you put ingredients into the lower part. You don't want to let the egg plate cool while you're doing the other. My unit works perfectly because I work quickly - bread, cheese (I use shredded cheddar) a slice of Taylor Pork Roll, lower the next plate, crack the egg, break the yellow with the shell, top it with the other piece of bread, lower the lid and set the timer. Four minutes and it's done! No need to wash, simply wipe it down. No mess, no need for any other utensils. Oh, I do use a toothpick to slide the finished sandwich onto a plate topped with a folded paper towel (to absorb moisture). You're welcome! 😁
I use a 1 cup metal measuring cup to size my bread, cheese and meat.
I also cook a blueberry pancake on the stove, then cut it to size - then freeze it.
So I can make a macgriddle instead of an egg macmuffin
Thanks for sharing 😀
Thank you. Just bought one at Goodwill for $6. This will help save so much money.
Thks, you are a very good demo-/-illustrator. Two thumbs up from this viewer. Thanks for having clean nails, the other guy's demo had nails as if he just came in from cleaning auto transmission pans last evening. I just purchased this brand-new, never used sandwicher from 'GoodWill' thrift store yesterday for 6$ and had no instructions, RosenbergTX. : )
+GoatDriver Ram You're welcome, thanks for the positive comments. Lol to the nails!
Goodwill does have some great deals at times. Please subscribe if you haven't already :)
Parents bought the dual one. Might not be as fast as making it the old fashion way, but helps me crank out some 10+ sandwiches for the family while multi tasking other chores. :)
Hi Reece, thanks for sharing your experience with us. Please subscribe if you haven't already :)
I used mine today for the first time. Got it at Goodwill for $6.99 brand new in the box. I used a Jumbo sized egg and it was way too big, so I think I will buy smaller eggs for next time. Either way this machine makes the perfect breakfast sandwich and I will be using it all the time now 🙌. I may even try making grilled cheese with it too.
Just got one of these for Christmas
Thanks for the great review. I’m thinking about purchasing one of these and I think I’m sold.
I just got one of these for Christmas, was using this to learn about this item. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you found the review helpful :-)
After you've finished cooking and have unplugged the unit do you let it cool with the lid up or down or does it matter?
Also, instead of a cookie cutter to cut excess bread or cheese away you can use an ordinary drinking glass. I use a cup all the time as a biscuit cutter and it works like a charm.
up
I use a 30 ounce insulated mug to cut my whole wheat bread rounds and use shredded cheese. Saves time and works well! I lower the lid for the cool down. No need to wash, just wipe it.
If my kitchen is cold, I'll leave it up, plates separated, to warm my kitchen, lol.
I fold my cheese. I also use biscuits. Mini tortillas, pancakes, anything 4 a bread. Personally i put a frozen sausage patty on the bottom, cook, flip, remove. Sometimesill cook onion, peppers there 2. . I cook the egg i. The middle, whisk, s& p , leave a minute. Then come back put bread, meat, close then on top of egg bread , close, unplug. Leave 5 min. Perfect!
I forced everything in and it was a hot, tasty, mess. 10/10 would do it again.
We own this Sandwich maker and it worked really well! The sandwich does come out better and tastes better since everything cooks together and is at the same temperature! Glad you mentioned that there's no indicator on when it's does, we mentioned this in our review we did as well. It turns out Hamilton Beach makes one with a timer! Great review on this sandwich maker!
Thanks for sharing your experience with us :)
Nice job on the review. I have one of these and usually use a slice of Canadian bacon, a whole egg, with a slice of Colby which is round where I buy it. I also use Crisco non stick spray which I think might be adding to the muffin being crunchy. I think I'll give your scrambled egg idea a try !
+Douglas Glondeniz Hi Douglas, thanks, glad you liked the review! Thanks for sharing your non stick spray tip with us :)
This was given to me after Christmas because the original recipient didn’t like it. I used it and haven’t stopped using it since. Bye-bye burger joints!
Wife bought me one. It works great! Restaurant quality sandwiches if not better. Easy clean up. Most gadgets are just that. This one actually works well imo. Much faster and easier than using a skillet and a toaster as someone suggested, with far superior results.
Awesome :)
Easy clean up ! Where? It's a big mess everytime l use mine. I'm better off buying my Egg McMuffin from McDonalds.
My buddy made me one of these the other day for breakfast we were working on his vet was absolutely delicious, 😋
this is an ingenious little machine I love it and so does my wife!! super easy clean up
+JohnPaul Sein Thanks for sharing :)
Great video. I just wanted to add that I like them very dark, so if you want to try that, just leave it for an extra 45-60 seconds.
Thanks for sharing 😀
Great review and how to video. Thanks!
You’re welcome 😁
Was tempted at first but then I realised that I'm just hungry.
🤣
Got one at Salvation Army unused for 1.99 love it
Great review, thank you!
You’re welcome 😁
I'm between this and getting a stove griddle with an egg ring.
I like how ook ook easy it is. but doesn't look to make an appealing sandwich, though I imagine it tastes all the same.
10/10 ook ooks. I'm gonna get a griddle and egg rings, but I'm pretty sure I'll grab this in the end after being too lazy.
Why did you beat up the egg? What did it do to you?
+Mike Carter - You can just break the yolk but the unbeaten egg white will ooze out a bit. Make sure the slider plate is fully back.
@@lgbirt Low... just low... it was a joke.
@@fiasco1770 hehe... 🦗🦗🦗🦗
Obviously it was a bad egg.
I have one, I've used it, and it works quite well!
Thanks for sharing, Chris :)
Important to note, that the newer ones, do you have a timer, which does help.
I think mine is older, it has a timer. Had it for years and love it!
I Also have one and when I put my cheese on its better to rip it up. Mine has a timer it's a little more up to date
We got this machine for Christmas and its great! We use it every weekend!
I dont think its too hot to touch the parts where you lift
But its safer the way you do:)
It is a useful and really cute little machine. Safety first! Please subscribe :-)
The parts are WARM, not hot but I'm sure she's doing it so that youtubers don't lift it with their tongues and sue Hamilton Beach. I love this thing and use it every day. Most supermarket eggs are Extra-large so you get a lot of egg hanging out like this. Regular eggs are perfect (get a couple chickens ya heathens) and they don't overspill and some need to cut the extra off...eat it if they do. Buy one, try it, then comment. It's a cheap & healthy meal and others look at me like I'm eating like a king. It's a freaking sammich and chickens literally spit out eggs twice a day.
My sammich? English muffin, Canadian bacon, regular egg, whatever cheese I have (usually muenster), and Rooster sauce. Pre-cooked bacon if you feel like doubling up, but not raw bacon for sure (edit: Did you know bacon cooks in a microwave in 1 minute?) . Five minutes and I'm munching on a good breakfast for the active day. Active means I don't sit at home watching The View and THOSE chickens.
Comments: A lot of work? It takes 5 minutes! Takes you longer to get through a McDonald's drive through at 5am. Oh? 5am is too early? Work is haaaard.
Why do you beat the Egg? Ha, I get jokes but it's best to break the yoke unless you like the Cadbury Egg experience of things gooshing into your mouth. Medium easy is hard to time with this device but possible...done it maybe twice.
Thanks for sharing! Tell us how you really feel 😂👍
It’s great for camping! When you want breakfast and don’t feel like messing with the fire right away!
i bought this for my dad and i wanted to see how it worked so i can use it with him thanks!
Jacob Smith Hi Jacob, glad the review was helpful. Please subscribe :-)
Does the plug in machine come with the sandwich maker? Does the sandwich maker also clean up the mess afterwards?
thank you i was really confused when i would use this now i can make really good lunches for meeeeeeee
Toph Beifong Hi Toph, you're welcome! Glad you found the review helpful :-)
Great video thank you!!!
Extremely handy in college! Plus saves me money on my meal plan! A little slow to cook the egg tho :( other then that awesome!
Okay, this is probably the one use-case I can understand - you don't have easy access to a stove in the morning and could cook this on your desk. I still think a tiny microwave would have more utility in a dorm than this machine that pretty much does one thing. I can cook eggs in a microwave like a pro.
Improvising, I came up with a good overeasy eggs with the perfect liquid yolk. I don't like hard cooked yolks.
Just the right timing & using slider to cook an egg.
Down below people have some other good ideas.
How about using frozen potatoe patties? Can this machine defrost a patty just like an oven?
To others reading this, I would recommend folding the corners of the cheese into the center of the slice instead of "trimming the edges." That way you're not wasting cheese or throwing tiny scraps of it back into the fridge.
I've done that,and still it's a big mess
I put defrosted tater tots atop buttered and roasted English muffin with precooked Turkey bacon atop that. And often I leave the egg out and add extra bacon and cheese on top
Can you add a precooked patty, or does it have to be done completely separate?
+CHRISTIANNWO Hi, you can add any precooked meat to the unit.
Just bought one... awesome machine!
Thanks! Can’t wait to make one tomorrow.
Tried it yesterday, actually it can cooked the smoked chicken. I use the bottom heating plate.
You can add a kraft single afterwords instead of having that cheesy mess. The singles melt really fast and just the heat from the sandwich is enough to start melting them.
Great tip, thanks! Please subscribe :-)
You can also use shredded cheese, that works well.
I've had one for two years but never figured out how to use it - I guess I'll try it. But I like liquid yolks so I don't want to beat the egg.
How do you prevent the raw egg running out making a big mess? I have one so I know it does.
If you were going to add pre-cooked meat, would it go between the bottom muffin and cheese? Would you add another minute for cooking?
Hi Linda, the pre-cooked meat should go directly on the bottom muffin. You don't have to add time for cooking. When the egg puffs ups, you'll know it's ready 😀
Fantastic video!
Thanks 😁
+Shawn Hawkins Hi Shawn, glad you liked the video! Please subscribe :)
Look yummy and very easy cooking and for a time in the morning rush.
Why am I only finding out about this product now in 2021? I need this in my life.
😂😂I got one from a friend before I left for college and I'm just now figuring it out
I LOVE this egg maker! Finishes all my needs. Sometimes my mom is too lazy to make me food, got the perfect sandwich right here! :) Thanks also I subscribed.
Hi Aaditya, Thanks for sharing your experience with us....and for subscribing :)
+bestkitchenreviews Yeah bro!
My egg keeps draining down into the lower level. How can I make it stay on the top? Thanks.
Bought one and love it.
Need one of these for work… I like my sleep too much to make bfast at home
😀
I see a couple people referring to negative or nasty comments about this machine, but I don't see any negative comments at all. (Where'd they go? Am I missing something?) My experience with this machine is not as great as the others, apparently. I used precooked frozen thin round sausage and it didn't cook through. So not only does meat need to be precooked, it also needs to be not frozen. In other words, cook the meat separately. The rest of the machine was sort of a mess, and didn't work for me. Am I the only failure? Wanted to love this little machine, but I don't.
Thank you! It's nice to see it done before I attempt it. 🙂
Mine turned out well, btw! I might let the egg cook a minute before adding the top muffin.
Thanks for the video this will ne my first time using this sandwich maker
👍😀
Perfecto igual a la descripción e las fotos
How do you make a breakfast sandwich in the machine less messy? The egg even beaten flows out tye sides, the cheese does the same. I'm allowing plenty of tome for it to get nice and hot before cooking the sandwich,but still,it's a,big mess.
@Eric Zeyloth Hi Eric, I would guess you got a defective unit. As you saw, mine had no issues turning on and working. Give it a try :-)
Also review the other product from hamilton beach, the cornballer!
Bro I had one and didn’t know how do use it but using this video helped
