3 in 1 Sandwich Maker, 850W with Waffle and Grill Plates
This 3 in 1 sandwich maker is three appliances in one compact unit: a toasted sandwich maker with triangle plates, a waffle maker and a grill press for paninis and grilled snacks. It heats with 850W, has power and heating indicator lights, and comes with three sets of removable, non-stick plates that swap over in moments.
In black and grey with a carry-style handle, it measures about 23 x 22 x 8cm, so it fits on a small worktop and stores easily in a cupboard.

Toasted sandwiches
The triangle sandwich plates seal two sandwiches into four neat triangles, which keeps fillings inside and makes them easy for children to eat. Cheese and ham, cheese and tomato, tuna melt, baked beans and cheese, and spicy chicken or paneer all work well. Butter the outside of the bread for a golden, crunchy finish, close the lid gently and wait until the heating light shows the plates are ready.
Most sandwiches are done in a few minutes; lift the lid to check and leave them a little longer for a crisper crust.
Waffles
Swap in the waffle plates for breakfast or dessert. A simple batter of flour, milk, eggs, a little sugar, baking powder and melted butter makes golden waffles; brush the plates lightly with oil the first time, fill them without overflowing and close the lid until steam stops escaping. Serve with fruit, yoghurt, honey, maple syrup or ice cream.
Savoury waffles with cheese and herbs in the batter make a good lunch with salad.
Grilled snacks and paninis
The grill plates press and mark paninis, wraps and toasted ciabatta, and they also grill halloumi, vegetables, burgers and chicken strips for a quick meal. Because the plates press from both sides, food cooks evenly without turning.
Thin, even pieces cook best; slice chicken or vegetables to a similar thickness before grilling.
Changing and cleaning the plates
Always unplug the 3 in 1 sandwich maker and let it cool completely before changing or cleaning the plates. Once cool, remove the plates and wash them in warm soapy water with a soft sponge, then dry them before refitting. The non-stick coating means melted cheese and batter usually wipe away easily.
Use wooden or silicone tools to lift food out, never metal knives or forks, which scratch the coating. Wipe the outer body with a damp cloth.
Safety tips
The outer surfaces get hot during use, so open and close the lid by the handle and keep the appliance away from the edge of the worktop and out of reach of children. Place it on a flat, heat-resistant surface with space around it, and never leave it switched on unattended.
Do not overfill sandwiches or waffle batter, which can spill over the plates and burn on the outside of the machine.
Three appliances, one cupboard space
A separate toastie maker, waffle iron and grill press would fill a cupboard. The 3 in 1 sandwich maker stores all three in one body with two spare plate sets, which suits small kitchens, student flats and family homes, and it takes only a minute to swap between toasting, waffles and grilling. It makes quick breakfasts, packed-lunch fillings, after-school snacks and weekend brunch, and it is a fun, practical gift for a new home.
Breakfast and brunch ideas
On a weekday, a 3 in 1 sandwich maker turns out a cheese and tomato toastie or an egg and cheese sandwich in minutes. At the weekend, swap to the waffle plates for a stack of waffles with berries and yoghurt, or try a breakfast panini with scrambled egg, spinach and cheese on the grill plates.
For children, sweet toasties with banana and chocolate spread or apple and cinnamon are a quick treat, and leftover waffles can be frozen and reheated in a toaster.
Using the 3 in 1 sandwich maker for the first time
Before the first use, wipe the plates with a damp cloth and dry them. Fit the plates you want, close the lid, plug in and wait for the heating light to show the plates are ready. A little smoke or smell the first time is normal for new non-stick plates; open a window and it soon disappears.
Lightly brush the plates with oil for the first few uses, then the non-stick coating does the work. Keep the instructions supplied with the 3 in 1 sandwich maker for timings and safety notes.
Let it heat fully before adding food, as the indicator light shows, so sandwiches seal and brown evenly instead of steaming. Once you finish, unplug it, leave the lid open while it cools, then wipe the plates so they are clean and ready for the next meal.
