Our toastie maker is on its last legs but I am in two minds whether to get a new one or go for a sandwich press. We have had a press before but I like the way toasties are sealed especially if you use runny fillings.
Any suggestions?

sarahb5, I agree absolutely with you re how the sandwich maker seals the edges of the toasties/sandwiches but IMO it depends on what like to have or hope to have/make the most of... . . toasted sandwiches or items such as paninis? ? :-))

That's true - I don't often buy paninis but that's probably because I don't have anything to toast them on at the moment so its kind of a Catch 22 isn't it? Most toasties are the kids snacking when they get home from school. I like the look of the ones you can grill with as well though because I could do cheese on toast/welsh rarebit without having to use the oven.
Or maybe I could get a George Foreman?
Oh decisions, decisions ...

Honestly I would get both as you can pick up some super cheap ones. I probably use my sandwich press more but I wouldn't be without my toastie maker. I use the sandwich press for more than just toasted sandwiches and paninis and it has a height adjustment thing so as not to squash things.
