Description
Overview
The Russell Hobbs Sandwich Press toasts four slices at a time, which is the difference between feeding a committee meeting and feeding one person. Its floating hinge lets the top plate settle flat on whatever is underneath, so a panini, focaccia, wrap or plain cheese toastie all cook evenly rather than being crushed at one end.
At 2200 watts it heats quickly, and temperature indicator lights tell you when it is ready without guesswork. The flat non-stick plates wipe down easily and the stainless steel finish suits a shared kitchen bench. We list it in our gifts range, and it is a practical choice for a club-room kitchen or a raffle prize.

Who it's for
It belongs in a club-room kitchen, a school staff room or a canteen that runs toasties on Saturday mornings. The flat plates rather than triangular cutters make it just as useful for warming wraps and flatbreads as for standard toasties.
It also works well as a fundraiser prize or a thank-you for the volunteers who run the kitchen. Order several through a quote if you are outfitting more than one facility; the team can request a quote and add other appliances from our gifts range.
Care, safety and set-up
Let the plates cool before wiping them down, and avoid metal tools on the non-stick surface. Store it flat with the hinge closed. It carries the store's 12-month guarantee, and the supplier listing also states a 24 month manufacturer warranty.
Frequently asked questions
How many sandwiches does it make at once?
It is a 4-slice press, so two full sandwiches or four open halves per round.
Will it handle thick bread like Turkish or focaccia?
Yes. The floating hinge lets the top plate lie flat on breads of various thickness, from wraps through to Turkish bread and panini.
Are the plates ridged or flat?
Flat, non-stick plates. There are no cutting ridges, so wraps and flatbreads press as well as sliced bread.
