Published on September 1, 2019, a kitchen gadget that has made a significant impact in our household is the sandwich toaster/maker. With school-going children, it's essential to have a convenient and efficient way to prepare their lunches. In our household, sandwiches are a norm from Monday to Friday, with various fillings such as ham and cheese, plain cheese, tomato and cheese, spinach, leftover meats, and more.
The sandwich maker is easy to use. Simply plug it in, heat it up, prepare your sandwich, butter the outside of the bread (optional), place the prepared sandwich on the heated plates, press and secure with the clasp, and toast for three to four minutes. The indicator light will turn on when the sandwich is cooked.
Cleaning the sandwich maker is just as easy. If the heating plates are detachable, wash them with warm soapy water. If not, clean them patiently with a damp cloth. Store it away when done cleaning, or leave it on the kitchen counter, as we do, since it's used daily.
For those interested in acquiring this kitchen gadget, you can find it at any kitchen appliance shop or supermarket for around Sh1800 or more, depending on the brand chosen.
