Anyone used these before?
Because our oven isnt working at the moment (and I dont have a Breville sandwich maker), I thought I could make a toastie or panini using one of those (I fancy one tomorrow).

What do they come out like? Do they make that cross hatch pattern (lovely) on the sandwich or not when toasted?

Not sure if my local Tesco has them or not.

I've used them too. They make perfectly decent toast sandwiches, if you get my drift. I use my health grill too now and I don't mind not having the hard edge.

I use the bags occasionally usually using cheese and onion or cheese and ham. You don't get any patterns on the bread though but they make quite a nice toasted sandwich. Make sure a sandwich will fit in your toaster slots though as some toasters aren't wide enough to take them.

Thanks
I'll see if Wilkinsons do them or, alternatively might invest in a griller/sandwich toaster.

You can get them from Poundland.

I've used mine to make toasted sandwiches and paninis

Have you got a frying pan? Easy enough to make classic toasties with one.

Bought a pack of these bags, they make OK toast sarnies, but the novelty wore off after a couple of gos.

Good point With the gas supply being turned off for now though I can't use the gas hob and frying pan. We're going to get a new oven though.

I bought some on ebay and use them quite often as they come in handy. I find it best to use thin sliced bread otherwise the filling does not cook/melt properly.

We use them a fair bit, had mixed results but think that's more down to the toaster.

Thinking of getting some myself, I could then do some cheese toasties at work, make a change from my meat sandwiches, but need to buy medium bread to do so.

Good point, I hate it when the cheese doesnt melt or cook properly I've got some medium sliced ATM so I'll see how that does....

You can make them in a hot griddle pan or heavy based crepe pan.

Not if you haven't got a cooker

I'm a fan of the toaster bags, but the more expensive ones that you get in Lakeland are worth the extra vs the Poundland ones, IMO. (I've usedp both)

good for convenience. the toast burns before the filling gets properly hot - but easy to use if you don't want a lot of bother.
