What is a single toastie maker?
A single toastie maker will only make one toasted sandwich or small panini rather than the usual two.
Why buy a single toastie maker
Here are a few reasons why you should buy a single toastie maker.
It’s Smaller than a regular toastie maker
It is half the size of a regular (2 sandwich) toastie maker and therefore takes up less room on your kitchen worksurface or in a cupboard.
You only need to make one toastie
Maybe you live on your own, or have the house to yourself in the day, or maybe as hard as it could be me to believe but the other people in your life just don’t like toasties. Whichever one it is then a single toastie maker is the right choice for you.
It uses less power
As only half the plate size needs to be heated when compared to a regular toastie maker than a single toastie maker is going to use less power. This is especially useful if for the reasons above you only need to make one toastie.
Where can you buy a single toastie maker in the UK?
After searching through the internet for some time I was only able to find single toastie makers at Amazon. To my surprise there are not, currently, stocked at Argos, John Lewis or any of the other major sellers you would expect including Breville.
Which is better a single toastie or regular double toastie maker?
This is a tricky question as,for the reasons given at the start of this article I do believe there are several benefits of buying a single toastie maker.
However, the options are quite limited on what you can get and often don’t have removal plates which is a really useful feature for a toasted sandwich maker.
Plus, even if you are on your own you may find you have guests or just fancy two sandwiches.
Overall, if you are really stuck for space then grab a single toastie maker. Otherwise, go for a regular two sandwich model.
The best single toastie makers
More details on the best selling single toastie makers available today.
MyKC Non-Stick Single Toasted Sandwich Maker
This is the most expensive single toastie maker that I cover but that money is relatively well spent on a host of features that include:
- Removal plates
- Deep fill plates
- A timer
- Ability to store standing up thanks to its innovative design
If you like the sound of all these features and great tasting toasted sandwiches then give this single toastie maker a go today.
George Foreman 25800 Small Fit Grill
Now while you can’t make the traditional closed, breville, style toasted sandwiches with this small grill you can make a large variety of panini style toasties.
Additionally, you can use this grill to cook chicken, steak etc just as George did in his adverts.
Morphy Richards 511644 MICO Toastie Toasted Sandwich
This single toastie maker comes from the clever Morphy Richards microwave collection. This is an innovative collection of cooking gadgets you would never think you would be able to use in the microwave but with these you can.
Simple place your sandwich between the two plates and then zap it in the microwave.
Plus, as there isn’t a heating element required and plug it stores really easily.
Judge Non-Stick Single Toasted Sandwich Maker
This is a good single toastie maker as a good price. It doesn’t have detachable plates like the more expensive MyKC version but like the MyKC can be stored on its side which is a very useful feature.
It is also eligible for prime delivery so you can be enjoying a toasted sandwich in under 48 hours.
Jean-Patrique Stovetop Single Toastie Maker
A bit more suited to making toasties while camping, but still worth a look as a home single toastie maker. However, it will only work on a gas hob.
To be honest, if your not taking this camping then you may as well just make a traditional grilled cheese rather than invest in this single toastie maker.
Overall
Overall, if you are after a single toastie maker then I recommend the Judge Non-Stick Single toastie maker.
However, if you have the space then I would suggest getting a regular toastie sandwich maker with removable plates for not much difference on price.
