Helpful Hints • • • • • Always preheat the Sandwich Maker before using. Select bread that will fit the Cooking Plates. Use approximately 1/3 (85 ml) cup of filling for each sandwich. Do not use processed cheese as it melts too quickly. When using sweet filling a teaspoon of sugar on the buttered side of the bread will add flavor 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.
