•Select bread that will fit the Cooking Plates.
•Use approximately 1/3 cup of filling for each sandwich.
•It is not necessary to butter bread, however, the Cooking Plates should be
seasoned lightly with oil occasionally.
•Do not use processed cheese.
•When using sweet filling a teaspoon of sugar on the buttered side of the bread
will add flavour and make the outside of the sandwiches crispier.
•Raisin bread or other sweet breads brown quickly so adjust cooking time
accordingly.
•Pastry may be used instead of bread.
