This document describes the Breville Café Style Sandwich Press, a kitchen appliance designed for making toasted sandwiches and other hot snacks. The sandwich press aims to simplify the process of creating café-style sandwiches at home, offering convenience and versatility for various culinary creations.
The Breville Café Style Sandwich Press is primarily designed to toast sandwiches and other bread-based items. It features non-stick cooking plates that heat up to cook and brown food evenly. The appliance is equipped with a floating top plate, which is designed to press down on sandwiches uniformly, accommodating different thicknesses of bread and fillings. This ensures consistent cooking and browning across the entire surface of the sandwich.
Beyond traditional sandwiches, the press can be used for toasting various types of bread, such as focaccia, Turkish bread, baguettes, and even bread rolls, either plain or with fillings. Its flat plate design makes it suitable for toasting breads without the need for butter or margarine on the outside, promoting fat-free snack preparation. The appliance also facilitates reheating pre-cooked items, offering a quick way to warm up food while maintaining a crisp texture.
The operation is straightforward: the unit preheats, indicated by a ready-to-cook light, and then the food is placed on the bottom plate, the lid is closed, and cooking commences. The cooking time is adjustable based on personal preference and the type of ingredients used.
The Breville Café Style Sandwich Press incorporates several features to enhance its usability and safety:
Before First Use: Prior to its initial operation, users are advised to remove any promotional labels or stickers. The sandwich press should be placed on a flat, level surface. The storage lock must be opened to release the top plate. The cooking plates should be checked for cleanliness and wiped with a damp cloth if necessary to remove any dust.
Operation Steps:
Versatility in Food Preparation: The sandwich press is suitable for a wide range of bread types, including white, wholemeal, kibbled wheat, wholegrain, and raisin loaf. It excels at toasting focaccia, Turkish bread, baguettes, and bread rolls. Sweet breads with high sugar content, such as raisin bread or brioche, may brown quicker.
For fillings, canned or pre-cooked fruits are recommended over fresh fruits to minimize excessive juices during heating. Caution is advised when consuming sandwiches with hot fillings like cheese and tomato or jam, as these can retain heat and cause burns if eaten too quickly.
The flat plate design is ideal for toasting plain breads or Turkish bread without fillings or spreads. It can also be used to toast Turkish bread with jams for a breakfast alternative.
For reheating, sandwiches can be placed on a paper napkin to absorb condensation and then kept warm on a rack in an oven-proof dish in a low oven (around 100°C) for up to 20 minutes, though they may start to dry out after this period.
The non-stick, cooled flat plate design eliminates the need for butter or margarine on the outside of toasted snacks, promoting healthier eating.
Proper care and cleaning are essential to maintain the performance and longevity of the Breville Café Style Sandwich Press.
