HINTS AND TIPS

BREAD

The toastie maker is designed for super and regular sized bread. With extra large cooking plates, it cuts and seals the toastie.

Most types of bread can be used; white, wholemeal, kibbled wheat, wholegrain, raisin loaf and so on. When using raisin bread, brioche or other sweet breads which contain high sugar content, remember they will brown faster.

FILLINGS

Try to use canned or pre-cooked fruit as fresh fruit may give off excessive juices when heated.

Be careful when biting into toasties containing fillings such as cheese and tomato or jam as they retain heat and can burn if eaten too quickly.

One quarter cup of filling for each toastie is sufficient. Do not overfill your toasties.

BUTTER OR MARGARINE

For best results we recommend to butter the outside of the bread ie place filling between the unbuttered sides of bread.

If you are on a low fat diet or kilojoule counting, the outside of the bread may be left unbuttered. Season the plates occasionally to prevent sticking and to make cleaning easier.

To season, brush the cooking plates with a little vegetable oil and rub off the excess with absorbent paper. Do this after preheating the unit. Do not use spray on non-stick coatings as this will effect the performance of the non-stick surface on the cooking plates.

For sweet snacks, a light sprinkling of castor sugar over the outer buttered sides of the bread will make them extra delicious.

For extra flavour use herb or garlic butter for spreading on bread.

PASTRY

Frozen pastry will snap in the toastie maker. Ready-rolled is the easiest to use, either in sheets or from a roll. See page 19 for further details.

REHEATING

If the toastie is not being eaten immediately, place it on a paper napkin to absorb condensation. To keep for longer, place on a rack in an oven-proof dish to keep warm in a low oven, about 100°C. The toastie will keep hot for up to 20 minutes this way, but will then begin to dry out.
