plates with solid vegetable shortening. DO NOT USE SPRAY-ON OIL PRODUCTS. Recondition the plates at any time if food shows signs of sticking.
USING THE SANDWICH MAKER
Making sandwiches in the Sandwich Maker is quick, fun, and easy. The Sandwich Maker
toasts both sides of the sandwich at once to form two sealed halves. Sandwich triangles are perfect for packing or eating on the run. Bring out those leovers and transform them into wholesome and delicious, tasty toasted sandwiches that your kids and

• A wide variety of breads may be used, such as whole wheat, fruit breads, and white
bread. Be sure to select breads approximately 4” square. Most pre-sliced loaves of
bread found in the supermarket are perfect.
• For crisp, tasty bread, butter or oil the outside of the bread. Use avored butters or
oils to add interest to your sandwiches. For example, try garlic oil or any herbed butter.
• With plain llings such as meats, spread the inside of the bread with mayonnaise,
tomato sauce, or mustard.
• If you prefer not to use butter or margarine, clean the cooking plates occasionally
with a little vegetable oil to prevent sticking and make cleaning easier. Rub o excess
oil with a so, absorbent paper towel.
• When using so or liquid llings, use thicker-sliced breads. Bread can be slightly
toasted before lling is added.
• Avoid using fresh fruits. Canned fruits can be used; drain fruit thoroughly and pat dry
with a clean paper towel.
• Avoid using processed cheeses, as they tend to “run” under high temperatures.
• Add avor and crispiness when using sweet llings by sprinkling 1 teaspoon of white,
ginger, vanilla or brown sugar on the buttered sides of the bread.
• Whole grain and sweet breads will toast quicker than white breads.
• Aer you have removed nished sandwiches, close the lid to retain heat while assembling more sandwiches.
• Wipe the cooking plates clean aer each use to avoid food contamination.
