Question: Do the plates come out for cleaning?
Document: We've had ours for about a year. We use it every 1-2 weeks. It is a good size for 1 or 2 sandwiches and cooks them about the right amount. The sandwiches come out pretty easily and cleaning it isn't too hard.So far, this has been a great purchase for us.
Flat plates a plus. Toasts evenly. Difficult to find this type of sandwich maker which is not a panini maker.
I have not had this very long and have only made sandwiches. They come out great if you watch the clock as recommended.
I am a big fan of grilled cheese sandwiches; however, I hate the regular grills that come with a partition, so this one is perfect for me.
Makes great sandwiches. I use almost every day. Omelets come out perfect. Easy to clean and store. Highly recommended for quick lunches.
This was the only sandwich maker I found on Amazon that had a rectangular smooth grilling surface. The others devices had ridges and divided grill plates that defeated my goal of having one machine that could multi-task and do it well! Thank you Proctor-Silex for making a fabulous product.
That is not a problem with this one. I do agree with previous posts that it toasts faster than the instructions recommend. I am usually impatient and don't wait for the green light to come on before I put my sandwiches on, and then I check them after two minutes. They are usually perfectly crispy and melty. If you have a problem of cheese not melting enough before bread is toasted, try microwaving the bread and cheese together for just a few seconds before placing in sandwich maker.
Our frustration with making grilled cheese sandwiches is over!! !This sandwich maker workers great. If you user normal size bread, you can make two at a time. Even if you want larger bread, it only takes 2 to 3 minutes to grill one.The key to success is to spray the plates with Pam and NOT butter the bread. We add turkey or ham with cheese.The product is well made and easy to clean.
I'm thrilled with the Procter-Silex Sandwich Maker because its a dual-function cooker. Boneless chicken breasts cook to perfection straight from the freezer. And the patty melts, grilled cheese sandwiches and reubens come out perfectly browned and melty using this grill. This is ideal for college students, couples, or those who live alone. The unit doesn't take up much space, cleans easily, and can cook your main course meal and even bake pastries like homemade toaster tarts.
this was Just what we wanted, works great.Great for ommlets and sanwiches. could not find it in the stores in our area
Answer: no they do not, but they seem to wipe down easily. My husband took it to make sandwiches at work. Hasn't said anything negative about it.
