Lacor 69163 Flat Toaster, Multi-Colour

Product Information

The temperature comes from its well-engineered lid flaps that morph from a toaster to a grill depending on the plates. Of course, the dimensions of the flat toaster are clearly more important than the design. The size will determine the number of slices of bread you can toast at a given time. This is a super important factor to take into consideration especially if you have a family. Size is also important for those with limited space on their kitchen countertops. With a variable heat setting, you can easily make sandwiches, paninis, seabass, and even steak in no time. The toast should be moved around during cooking. Or you end up with toasted spots with raw bits in between. With practice you should be able to make a slice of toast in a couple of minutes. Or as I have found, you can have burnt toast in seconds! Is it multi-functional?

TRISTAR BR-2400 Flat Toaster with Timer, Plastic, 400 W

The basic idea is to pop your toaster over a gas burner and place your bread on top. Turn the bread over after the first side is brown, then do the second side until it is done to perfection. So, if you are weighing up the cost of a health grill and sandwich toaster then the VonShef 3 in 1 sandwich toaster could fit the bill. Removable plates make the cleanup process especially if you have some escapee melted cheese.

People seem to find it slightly better quality than the others too. With no complaints of poor manufacture, rusting or warping. It seems reasonably priced given this quality of construction. Well to me, the Primus camping toaster stands out as being the most useful for easily creating a slice of toast. People who like the toaster say it is best used over a gas ring at low heat. They say they have also had success with small toasted sandwiches, as well as tea cakes and crumpets. These are based on toasting the bread flat on top of them. The lower mesh is designed to diffuse the heat from your burner for more even cooking. The toaster sits on top of your burner and you move the bread or the toaster around as it cooks. They are small and fold up flat for storage. ‘Vertical’ toasters

When storing, the plates can all be popped into a box so they are kept together, and the actual toaster can be stored upright to save some space. It has two plates that can either be interchanged as a grill or a sandwich maker. The versatility is unparalleled and its deep-fill plates are perfect for variations of sandwiches.

At half the price of the Primus toaster they are definitely worth considering. But they appear to have some quality issues. Pros The size of the flat toaster is a very important factor for you to consider. If you have a larger household with more mouths to feed then you should consider a more heavy-duty flat toaster that can cook up more than 2 slices of bread at a time. This toaster is quite easy to use. It works best over a low heat. You need to move it or the bread around as it cooks to get an even piece of toast. Do one side, then turn the bread over and repeat.
