Read First Before Buy SM 17947 1500 Watt 4 Slice Sandwich Stainless
This is an easy to use basic 'stuffed sandwich' or 'pocket sandwich' maker. It uses regular sized store bought bread (think Wonder Bread size) and you can use whole wheat or even use home made bread if you bake it in that size. The inside style is the exact same as the the Cuisinart Sandwich Grill except that this "Team Sandwich Maker" makes double the amount of sandwiches, so you get four sandwiches, which can be cut down the seam in the middle to make 8 pocket sandwiches. This is the same basic design of sandwich maker that has been around for years. This takes 8 slices of bread at a time.
This works great for lunch with the kids -- they can personalize their own sandwich fillings and all the sandwiches cook at once. They take about 5-8 minutes to cook depending on the fillings and how done you like them. Some the kids favorite sandwiches are peanut butter, jelly, and banana (just a few very thinly sliced rounds), pizza -- mozzarella cheese and favorite pizza toppings, served with pizza sauce on the side for dipping after the sandwiches are baked. I like a swiss cheese and veggie melt. If you do an internet search for 'sandwich maker recipes' you will find a bunch of ideas for breakfast, lunch, and dessert recipes to make in this. You do have to be careful not to overstuff the sandwiches or you might have trouble closing the sandwich maker and fully cooking them.
This is a big sandwich maker and does not stand up vertically to store, which would have been nice. It looks like it might have been supposed to stand up, but it is not sturdy enough to unless it is up against a wall. There is also no cord wrap around but really those are just little cosmetic storage problems that do not affect the sandwich making ability of this item.
I would buy this again for sure because it works as expected and it is tough to find one of these sandwich 'stuffers' that makes four full sandwiches instead of the usual two.
