    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

                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 ;)

                                          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!

                                          If her problem is just that it's ugly would replacing it with something classier looking work even if it's not cordless? My mom has a fauxantique corded phone with an old fashioned J shaped handset that's done up to look like hand painted porcelain and gold plating; although being plastic and potmetal actually didn't cost a small fortune.

                                          Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt
