Toastie Bags!
Has anyone ever used these? We bought a packet of these toastie bags ages ago and still have a couple going spare. They can be re-used up to 100 times according to what it says on the packet, although it's probably best to give them a good clean before they are used again.
They make the perfect toastie as well. You can just make a cheese and onion sandwich like you normally do, put them in the toastie bag and place them into a toaster and wait until done. These are even nicer when you add baked beans to them when they are ready, gorgeous

saw an advert last night and thought the toasties looked amazing but I was sceptical. SO you say the toasties come out as real toasties? Doesn't all the filling fall to the bottom?

You have to becareful with what brand of toaster bags you buy though, because some are not that good and you'll find your toaster will burn little holes through them meaning that they arn't really that good to use again. |

They usually take around 3-5 minutes to cook in a toaster, though this depends on the setting your cooking them on, but the results are really nice. As I say, I add beans to mine sometimes which I cook in the microwave for 2 minutes and pour over the top of the filling inside the toastie

Thats what i thought it would do to start with, but they are actually quite good, all your filling is spread out evenly.

These are a really good idea though. We were first drawn to them from an advert on TV also and we now use them most weekends

I have tried it with thick bread before now and have had to gently press onto the bread once inside the bag to make it thinner so it will fit inside the toaster. Not ideal, but still does the job

I bought them and put the two slices in the bag with some cheese only for it to not fit in my toaster.

As a student I find these a god send! I have the ones from JML and if I am remembering correctly, the bags can also be used to 'cook' other snacks in the toaster like pizza? I haven't done it though!

We had some and not only were they a pain to clean but I found it a logistical nightmare getting the sandwich inside them! And I don't buy particularly large or wide bread!

I've got some too- but too scared to use them. It looks like plastic- doesn't it taste like plastic?

I love my toaster bags! No butter needed for the outside, no tooth breaking hard edges and virtually no washing up. Rinse in hot soapy water or stick them over the plate prongs in the dishwasher.
I'm on my second set of Lakeland ones after I managed to wear the first ones out ![]() Took me ages to realise there were sandwich suggestions inside the paper wrapper. Anybody fancy.. Cherry Choc. Fresh or well drained tinned cherries topped with grated choc or crumbled chocolate flake. Honey and Banana...... Peanut Butter and Jam... Apple Pie and Custard. Apple pie filling, cinnamon and ready-made custard. Chocolate Spread and Raisin .........no? Oh, ok then ![]() Eggy bread though....mmmmmmmm now that's a thought |
