I still have mine! It's great for pizza sandwiches, grilled cheeses, muffins, pb&j sandwiches (which are AWESOME when they're warm!)... And they can be found at tag sales EVERYWHERE. lol
This is a shining example of an infomercial done right. The Snackmate is called the Breville here in the UK, and it's a great bit of kit for any kitchen..
my grandparents had (have? it might still be around) this thing when i was little and as far as i was concerned it was absolute magic. i didn't realize it was like five years older than me though
This is a sandwich maker, they have been around since the dawn of humankind. I have one of these, although sturdier, it gets used quite a lot and is probably older than me (that is 25+ years!). The thing's been in my house for as long as I can remember and it's quite handy.
My parents had one of these years ago. When you heated the sandwiches whatever filling they had would heat up too, and stuff like melted cheese or pizza sauce would ooze out from between the bread and turn into a hard crust that you needed a crowbar to get off. Nasty.
