Read First Before Buy Japanese Pan Pita Uncrustable Sandwich
Ok, I will first admit that I bought this because it looked cute. I have never heard of it until I saw it here on Amazon, and thought I would give it a shot.
When I got it in a couple of days (and I mean a couple), I opened the package and started to make sandwiches. Here is a bit of caution, all of the directions are in Japanese, and if yours is as rusty as mine, you will get the idea, but miss some good information.
First, the bread does work a little better if it is microwave for a few seconds. Secondly, after centering your first piece of bread, the toppings should go in the center about 1/8" from the edge of the press. Thirdly, press as hard as you can to make the best seal.
This is perfect for 1 and 3 year old. Sandwiches tend to fall apart on them. This keeps them together in little triangle pockets (I fold one piece in half, an option that is on the package). I also like that chicken or egg salad sandwiches don't fall out the back while eating.
The only drawback is that this press takes a few tries to get it right. I had a tendency to overfill or place the fillings too close to the edge. However, a five or six pieces of bread is a small price to pay than uncrustable sandwiches in the freeze section of the grocery store.
This is a wonderful product. I love it. I can create different ingredients and seal it with this thing. Great product

BalasHapusAt first I thought this little thing looked too tiny to make a sandwich for my daughter. But after I got the hang of it, I realized that it is absolutely perfect. I use it to make Sun Butter and Jelly Uncrustables for my daughter with peanut allergies. It perfectly seals the sandwiches (which I then flash free for 2 hours, put in zip lock bags and label, which can then be frozen for 2 months!) and she loves having them in her lunches. Great little kitchen tool that I highly recommend to anyone, especially if they are packing lunches for their kids daily!
BalasHapusMy 2 year old loved the uncrustable sandwiches you can buy in the grocery store frozen, but I did not love the products they used in them. Now I make my own with healthier products and freeze them it work awesome.
BalasHapusMy kids are huge fans of the frozen pbj sandwiches sold in stores but they are so expensive and they are made with white bread which is unhealthy. I am now able to make them myself and freeze them so they are on hand all of the time and they are a fraction of the cost. I use whole wheat bread and a variety of fillings and they love them(-: The sandwich maker seals the edges and cuts the crust off. Unlike other circle styles this one uses most of the bread so there is less waste. For the price you can't beat this!
BalasHapusMy daughter is having a lot of fun making sandwiches with this. I like to use this as an excuse to make her eat in a healthier way. Every day we try to figure out something different to use in our sandwiches.
