I luv my microwave toastie maker, Use it for work but its also handy when you go away and the hotel only has a basic kitchen which usually has a microwave and no toastie maker.
I was impressed with the results this gave. I personally found it gave a better toaster crunch/texture when i made my 2nd one & didnt butter the outside of the bread. Def a great purchase!!
My favourite is cheese and banana, but being an all time lover of everything beetroot, I'm definitely trying your version, YUM! My mum would love it too, probably without the pepper though.
A tip if you're using an electric toastie maker , use a folded piece of baking paper and put the sandwich to be toasted inside that , it will save you a lot of clean up.
Not a good product. I had 1 from amazon and collected it at 14:00 from my local post office. We then tried it and it went back at 15:00, and fully refunded. Horrible silicone taste.
I've had one of these (not the anko one) for several years now. And only just recently found a FB group celebrating this toasty... we share recipes! This most amazing widget doesn't do JUST toasties !! Try other foods! I put my toasty on paper towels, which also aid in taking it out.
I got one of them on a whim a couple of years ago. Works surprisingly well! I use it about as much as I use every other toastie maker I've ever bought........
Don’t know how Grego’s excitement always gets me keen for anything I first thought- hell no too. Second thought is I’m thinking Grego should do a toastie series for us on fillings
My first attempt after buying this 2 weeks ago was a failure. I used the amount of butter I normally use when I make one in my frypan… the less butter idea may be better… and definitely need to turn it halfway. I’ve never adjusted the power on my microwave (insert Tim the tool man Taylor grunts of “more power”). But I did use 4 minutes. Less butter=good
Power Shopping I bought one from Kmart and only paid $5 delivered. Used 2000 flybuys points = $10 and free One Pass delivery.. Best microwave accessory ever. Makes pizza toasties in 3 1/2 minutes. Easy to clean and take anywhere where there's a microwave, including work.
If you think this is an amazing tool, look up full on microwave grills( admittedly a bit more expensive) like the Range Mate, Microhearth, etc. Like I said, often running at sixty dollars or more they can be a bit pricey, but they'll also convince you that we've been using our microwaves wrong for seventy years, can cook anything from steak to cheesy mack for two or three people in a go, have inserts for steaming, and are just plain cool.😉And microwave steamers can do anything tender and moist and can be very cheap. Heck, any microwave safe container that keeps the water separate and vents the steam will do; we really have been using our microwaves the wrong way.😉
@joellewis6086 I have a flatbed grill microwave and several microwave steamers. Great tools but as always, the larger the appliance, the larger the mess to clean up. Cheers
I had a larger similar version of this over 10 years ago for cooking sausages and bacon in the microwave. It was okay, but I didn't use it much. This toastie maker, however, looks really useful, particularly if you only have access to a microwave at work.
I'm seeing lots of comments about people saying they prefer to keep using their sandwich press, or their frypan for a toastie, and that's absolutely OK. I love pan fried sangas! However, for someone who takes food to work with them, and only have access to a microwave, then I think one of these would be ideal if you want a change from the usual microwave meals. I have a sandwich press at work, but I find even with buttering both sides of the bread, the end result can be too dry. I think I might have to invest in one of these. Thanks Greg!
Thanks for sharing I shop at kmart and target regularly but can't get everything so this was good to know, also learning the new technology of the plates 😲
I haven't heard "Kmart" in years, lol. I used to work at one like 30 years ago and I thought they had all closed down. As far as I know, there aren't any left here in the US. (EDIT) I Googled it and there are still 4 here. They used to be all over the place back in the day.
I was pleasantly surprised with how well it toasted it for you. It might not be as useful if you need a hard seal like how my hubby likes his baked bean jaffles, but it does look promising for other toasted sandwiches.
I have one of these and it works well. Just a bit of effort to clean the slits where the plates sit and make sure it's totally dry before making the next one. Overall a good product
I don't know if it was because of this video but when I went to my local K-Mart to get one today I couldn't find one anywhere. When I asked a staff member she said "oh those are so popular, as soon as we get them in they sell out immediately"
@Yt_channel_lol There's a group on FB that has gone bonkers popular but the admins are bloody power tripping whingers! I was recently booted from their group because I got annoyed at one of them for telling members to report spam & rude comments & posts and get I got abused by one of them that 'they're 3 people 24/7 doing shift work & doing admin on a page with 30k+ members & they have family & blah, blah, blah bull 💩! 🤦♀️🤣
Grilled bologna sandwich. roast beef with cheese with au jus on the side. It came out looking pretty nice. And endless possibilities. Grilled cheese 🥪 👍
So glad the reflection in the microwave window didn't show you wearing Daisy Dukes. That worry over with I suggest putting a microwave proof paper plate under it and serving on that to recover your lost cheese.
Greggo, preheat the toastie maker for 1 min, add your toastie and cook for 2 min. It’s perfect every time. Stops the cheese melting out too. Had mine for 3 years off Amazon and use it twice a week. Just put it all in the dishwasher pulled apart and has never let me down.
@mikeo5219 Nope! The Kmart/Target ANKO microwave toastie makers explicitly say to not use them in a microwave without food in them and they don't need preheating at all as they're made to heat up very fast🤦♀️ Just because your instructions says one thing, doesn't mean it's used for another similar product.
I love these toastie makers. Everyone is making them now. I still have my original Morphy Richard Indiegogo version. You need to try a chicken curry toastie with some mango chutney on the side.
Just another gadget to do the same thing as a frying pan that’s just as quick and easier to clean. Greggo, take this to the op shop along with your electric jaffle maker, electric popcorn maker, omelette maker, microwave bacon cooker, crepe maker, cheese slicer, egg slicer, steak griller, George Foreman, corn cob kernel remover, lemon squeezer, apple corer/peeler, microwave egg poacher, salad spinner, egg yolk separator, hot dog maker, electric can opener, electric carving knife, electric salt and pepper grinders and vegetable spiraliser! Then you won’t need such a large kitchen and can cook everything you want with a pan, a pot and a knife! 😂 lol

I purchased 1 of these a few months ago, and it’s freaking amazing 🤩 I pack it in my suitcase on my travels. I won’t leave home without it ❤
Was actually looking at buying one of these. Thanks for sharing. Now I know what to expect
I don't mean to be rude, but why? An actual flat press is basically the same price and will basically do the same thing
@74_pelicans personally, I'm staying with my $25 normal toasty maker, lol
@@74_pelicans except they are far more awkward to clean properly.
@@andrewdavidson665 I dont think so, they are non stick, usually very issue to just wipe off with a wet paper towel.

It tosted really good it looks great I will give it a try 👍
My jaffle iron would never forgive me if I bought one of those home.
I've always called it a Breville lol but I know what you mean
Breville is a brand that makes a lot of other products.
Jaffle or Toasted Sandwich is what is cooked.
@@BradTiplady-os5qr yes I know but from a kid it's been a habit to call it Breville is all
I have tried this product after watching the video and it really does work.
Grego didn't even clean the thing before he got it. Savage mode.
He said he already made one to try it out.
How on earth could he clean it before he got it?
very cool device for sure. great to take on holidays as most places have a microwave to cook this yummy snack.
Ive cooked hash browns in mine! Came out great!
This is a genius idea!

@@quazzymodo6294 Just a public service warning, you can get locked up for hand churning your cream in public
So naughty

That looked pretty good, but I'll stick to making them in my frying pan. Takes about just as long to cook, and easy to clean
Those composite alloys hey‼️ 😂😂
Glad I tuned in mate 👍🏼

thanks for doing this review as I have been going to get one now for a fair while ... onya Grego
Looks good GregO. . I just made one with the same ingredients yesterday. Used my pan tho. Thx for the review....
Love my foreman..love sandwich maker.,Dont have this but looks efficient. Compact and great for work not sure why people comparing other gadgets.
thnx for advertising this product, gonna get me one asap😀, i work out me van, and i have microwave plugged into generator
Imagine the chemicals leaching out of that thing…. I’ll stick to the frypan. 2 at once as well.
Yes exactly what i was saying best to cook in stainless steel
imagin the cemicals coming off the friying pan
Yet you seem to not be bothered by the chemicals leaking from the tin foil hat you wear 24/7.
Hey thanks I saw this too and wondered…
I may buy one now 🤣
Love mine😊
Premium pepper grinder and knife. Class act
You are absolutely charming Greg, loving watching your reviews!

It’s great!
Got two
Ill stick to my sandwich press 😂
I prefer my cheese in the toastie rather than exploded over the inside of my microwave
Doesnt explode, it melts, just put paper towel under it simple and easy to clean and throw in the bin lol.
I have one of these and it works well.
Just a bit of effort to clean the slits where the plates sit and make sure it's totally dry before making the next one.

Fantastic indeed im getting one good to take on Holidays for sure A1
Awesome reviews.. As expected 10/10
Fully toasted lookin ;) lol magical crunch scrape ;)
I'd put spaghetti between the bread.
or baked beans 😋
@@Donte_Macwith cheese and pepper 😋
You would be better off with a Jaffle iron for runny fillings, plus you can use pastry on those. 😉
