I have a sandwich maker. It’s actually the third one I’ve owned, over a period of several years. The first two weren’t defective, just totally worn out. I guess I don’t need to tell you that I use this one often, too. It’s probably one of the handiest small kitchen appliances I own.

A sandwich maker is really great for creating yummy sandwiches and a whole lot more. I’ve used mine to make omelets, corndogs, french toast, mashed potato patties, little cakes, biscuits and sandwiches… just to name a few.

How many times have you been hungry for a piece of cake, but didn’t feel like heating up the house or waiting almost an hour for the finished product? A sandwich maker is your answer. Think triangle shaped cupcakes.

Simply stir up a cake mix and bake as many little cakes as you’d like. The remaining batter can be stored in the refrigerator, for two or three days. These cakes only take a few minutes to bake and are equally good with or without frosting. (For best results, spray each well with nonstick cooking spray, prior to baking.)

In regard to sandwiches, almost anything goes. You’d be surprised how good a sandwich, made with various leftovers, can be… hot and toasty and pretty darn good!

In my opinion, there should be a sandwich maker in every kitchen.
