Getting toasted sandwiches is something that is very important to everyone. Nobody likes to eat soggy sandwiches and invariably if you make sandwiches at home, they will not turn out as crisp as if you eat outside. There is a very simple explanation for this and that is that most restaurants and fast food joints do not toast the bread while making the sandwich. They toast the bread first and then put in the filling. If you want it sealed, then they put it into a sandwich maker after that but only for as long as it takes to stick the two slices together.
The reason that most sandwiches are not very crisp when you make it at home is because most of us like to put cheese inside the sandwich. When the cheese is heated inside the sandwich it tends to melt and seep into the bread making it a little soggy. The other thing is that if you put butter on the bread before you toast it, the bread never gets as crisp as it would without any butter on it.
There is really no such thing as a toasted sandwich maker. If you make your sandwich without anything that will make the bread soggy, you get a toasted sandwich. One simple way to do this is to put the cheese or butter on top after you have made the sandwich. Even though this does not sound like a great option, the taste is actually better, and the butter will not be so hot that it will stick to the roof of your mouth too.
The reason why toasters are still in demand is because of this reason, the bread gets toasted very crisp and if you are fast enough you can make your sandwich and then eat it when it is still hot and crispy. The other option is to get a mini grill or oven into which you can keep your sandwich but since it does not stick the two slices together, you just take away the top slice, put in your slice of cheese and you are done. If the bread is made hot enough you can even get runny cheese with it.
It is probably for this reason why many people do not get sandwich makers and prefer toasters instead. A sandwich maker is however a very good option if you want to make your lunch before you leave in the morning. When you are rushed, all you need to do is to put it inside and take it out when the beeper goes. You can warm it up at work before you eat and not only is it very convenient, it is also healthy because you can regulate what goes into your sandwich, unlike when you buy it from outside.
