Air fryers beat any "toastie maker" hands down, by far the best toasties I've made using any device. Crispy toast and cheese properly melted right through.
Cheese and tomato . . .
Corned beef and onion . . .
Tuna melt . . .
Our cheapo toastie maker has met its maker.
Anyone have suggestions for a quality replacement?
- Needs to have removable plates for cleaning
- Preferable to have plates that seal the edges (less mess)
- Would like panini or flat plates too if available
- Catch to seal top lid down must be robust - the reason our current one failed is the skimpiness of this part
- Single sandwich is fine, though most seem to be double
Seem to be a plethora of similar items. Is the Cuisinart one worth the extra?

I recently replaced a toaster and a breville with one of these sage prefect presses, has a crush and an open faced sandwich setting, stands on its end for storage and is typically well built. The plates make great toast its much more uniform and crisp than my previous toaster.

Had this one a while. Makes great toasties. Easy to clean. Comes in different sizes.

Interestingly Sage and Breville is the same company and only in the UK is there a Sage brand for some of the fancier kit, AKA Lexus. In other markets it's all called Breville
Thick sliced cheap white bread works best, the crusts of sourdough etc become too hard. Butter as you would an untoasted sandwich, ie just the inside surfaces. A lot of people online advise to butter all 4 sides, well for me it's just messier to do for no benefit. I say butter, but I use olive spread, it works for me. Any cheese you like of course, for ease I use Lidl mature cheddar slices, 1.5 slices covers each slice of the buttered bread perfectly. Simply put what you like between the slices, tomato or onion is my usual with a good grind of black pepper. For a twist recently I've been spreading Marmite on one of the buttered slices of bread before adding the cheese.... mmm nice! The corned beef version was just leftover hash in the middle of the bread/cheese, the tuna melt was tinned tuna and a little mayo on the cheese before adding. My Cosori is 1500W and I cook them for 6mins at 195℃ then turn over for another 6mins at the same temp.

We’ve started making toasties in our Cosori too. Does a great job.
I've had a few but I think you get a better result using a pan
Can’t you just buy one ?
Ah yes indeed, they were truly excellent tyres. Sadly no longer available, but the narrower Schwalbe CX Pro 1.35" in 26" is even lighter, narrower and faster! It's as if you are flying over the trails!
