Does an excellent job, but doesn't seal so you have to be careful with the timing. A few seconds too long and the cheese is all in the drip tray.
Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.
Indeed, but I superintend all my cuisine related operations. I think a Cheese, Ham and Onion Toastie is food of the gods.

Cheese, ham, shallot and mushroom is very good, especially with denser bread. I am a big fan of cheese and paprika salami. Sadly the lack of a seal means my favourite ever toastie is now too messy to contemplate; Heinz tinned ravioli, cheese, and ketchup.

I have one of These[^] (But in two tone grey), and much as I love it, Mrs Wife wants me to get shot of it and buy a new crappy cordless rubbish thing. I am loathe to do this, as I love the phone, but needs must when the boss makes her mind up. It looks like they are going for £30-40 on eBay, so there is not a lot of money to be made selling it. Should I stick to my guns and keep it, or should I just sell it be be done? I shall judge the view of the forum and decide!

I would keep it. If it's anything like my circa 1981 Western Electric desk phone[^], it's probably built like a tank. /ravi

Ah yes, the joys of a Breville! I still make toasties, but I use a George Formby now.

Ah, great for making Banjo sandwiches (yes I know he played a Ukelele, but go with me on this).

It truly is solid and well engineered, it would survive the vicissitudes of life in a busy household. (Hell, it would survive a nuclear bomb!)

Ooh, sounds nice. My fave was sausage, chips and baked beans. Definitely need a sealer for that one.

Whilst I have never had a Heinz tinned ravioli, cheese, and ketchup toastie, I can imagine it and it sounds like a winner! I also like a bacon and scrambled egg toastie.

Indeed keep this. And like a good hubby, buy a cordless one. And after 2 weeks, fit in the rotary shell to the mobile one and rig up the circuitry. And enjoy a rotary mobile version ;)

Show her the pic here[^] Oh! yours is Grey? I have an original bakelite black phone which is on the office desk - the rest of the house is a mass of cordless phones with the ringers turned off - I love the feel of a nice weighty phone - with a cord just long enough to pace with, whicle keeping you at the desk. You could always put it in the attic with your train set?
