What’s the difference between a sandwich maker and a toastie maker?
They are essentially the same thing.  Both have the goal of making a simple grilled sandwich with a fillings that get sealed on the sides by the sandwich maker once closed. In the United States they are commonly referred to as sandwich makers and are most likely to be found on college campuses. I'm trying to change that! This is an appliance that should be in all kitchens . In the UK and elsewhere in Europe they are referred to as toastie makers.
