Ok for toasted sandwiches but we found that cheese easily leaks into the element part, but the worst experience was trying to make waffles with the waffle plates. Maybe the element doesn’t get hot enough but it was just not working well enough to make edible waffles even when it had heated up to its maximum temperature, really disappointing . Again, as with the cheese leaking, the same happened with the waffle mixture. Very hard to clean once it’s leaked onto the elements.
