Recipes
Sandwiches
∙Before toasting, always lightly butter the
outside of the bread and place the slices
with the buttered side against the cooking
plates. The butter helps the browning
process and makes it easier to remove
the toast from the cooking plates.
∙The filling (cheese, ham etc.) should be
cut to match the sandwich shape. Ensure
that the filling does not overlap the slice of
bread.
