Diablo Toasted Snack Maker

I received this item today and my first impression was it looked too small to make a decent sandwich and that there would be an awful waste of bread. I decided to make a trial sandwich and found I had a small supermarket pre cut burger bap left over from a BBQ and thought I would try this. It was really simple to just drop one side of an unbuttered bap (which fitted perfectly) into the maker with some cheese, onion and salad cream and then cover it with the other side of the bap. I then toasted it on the hob for 2 minutes on each side and it easily slid from the sandwich maker when slightly tilted. It couldn't have been any easier. The toasted bap turned out beautifully, it was lovely and crispy and the cheese was perfectly melted. Having read the more negative reviews about this item, I think that by using the small burger baps rather than slices of bread it would prevent wastage and would be a lot less fiddly and time consuming. I must admit I was really impressed by this little gadget. The only slightly negative comment I would make, is that I think the handle could do with being a little longer to give you more of an unheated area to work with, having said that though, you are using direct heat so care does need to be taken any way. Straight after devouring my sandwich I came straight back onto amazon to order a second one so that I can toast two sandwiches together. I intend to use them on the gas BBQ and camping in the summer and I'm sure they will be perfect for both.

I bought one of these several months ago and then they came up in the daily deals so I bought another one because I was so impressed! I had seen these at the London Ideal Home Show previously and there were people buying them that day who already had one and were raving about them. I thought I would order online so I could get product reviews before purchase. Needless to say I am very happy with these. Many people say there is a lot of wastage and this is very true if you use normal slices of bread but I hit on a more economical and easier option. Warburton milk loaf is the perfect size and the slices are round - perfect for the Diablo:):) The Diablo is very easy to clean and I usually wash mine by hand although it does state it can be washed in the dishwasher. They are a brilliant piece of kit and take up far less room than a sandwich toaster as well as being so easy to clean. The only issue I have had (and it's my own fault as it says quite clearly in the instructions!) is that I have twice burned myself by picking the Diablo up when hot too far down the handle!

Good supplier, received in a couple of days. Removed from packaging - dropped on floor, came apart at hinges, bit tricky to put back. Tried to balance on gas stove - it rocked due to uneven grid on stove.' you little devil,' I said. Hey, better hold the thing then, plastic handles not long enough, so burned my hand on the metal bit of handle, 'naughty, naughty' I said or words to that effect....... Learned a lesson there, be careful or put an oven glove on. Hubby savoured the first Diablo, basic cheese & onion - 'great', he said, I then made and ate my toastie, t'was beautiful. 'I love this 'ere Diablo,' I shouted. Got ambitious, so for a week I tried out every filling I could think of - savoury and sweet - used bread and pittas with cheese, onions, bacon, egg and pickle, etc. Desserts are a real treat shortcrust pastry with either fresh strawberries, blueberries, stewed apple and cinammon - today I made a Garibaldi Strawberry Surprise, Yum, Yum, who knows what tomorrow's Diablo will bring? Cannot stop myself using the little devil. To sum up - It's a great little toaster, easy to use, easy to clean and no electrics needed. Just watch out for Diablo's idiosyncracies.

I've only had this for one day and I absolutely love it! Within half an hour of opening the parcel, my daughter had a perfect ham and cheese toastie. 10 minutes later she was back for her second. Then last night i made individual apple pies (stew some apples and fill some shortcrust pastry) - brilliant! And this morning I made a toasted egg and ham sandwich (using a slice of ham and a small raw egg). Perfectly cooked egg and a lovely crisp toastie! It really is a simple bit of kit to use.....and i can see us experimenting with all sorts of recipes. I highly recommend it. It's just so easy. I'm looking forward to taking it camping with us - would be perfect for that. So in summary, i would say this is great value, great fun, easy to use and most importantly, you'll make the best toasties you've ever had - every time. I know what i'm getting people for Christmas already.

I originally saw one at a friends who has been using it for years and swears by it for toasties and making muffin sized eggs and i decided had to give it a go. Only used a handful of times, but not overly impressed. It is a nice size, non stick and looks the business, but been a bit of learning curve this one. Like any pan, it gets hot...but unlike a normal pan, this has a small diameter so you have to be careful when handling/positioning/balancing on the hobb. The handle itself is long...but only around 50% is heatproof (like 4 inches) so if you have big hands or just naturally pick it up without too much care, you need to be very careful as can easily end up getting singed. Once its hot...its hot and you have to either let it cool down between fills or very much it risk it for no chocolate biscuit. Recreating the eggmcmuffin was the goal and it does it quite well, done toasties, even an apple and has loads of potential...just cant say i look forward to using it. I'm sure if i ever did campfires/bbqs, it would be kinda awesome to have, but 95% of the time would just be kitchen. I get why its this size, but actually would not mind it being bigger and probably should have looked at the competitor options more as they probably would have better suited me. Although quality is good, tad overpriced for what it is too

Unkompliziert zu reinigen. Erhitzt sich innerhalb von einigen Sekunden. Hat Härtetest mit diversen Gasmischungen überlebt, Propan, Butan, 300er, 400er, Wintergas, ... alles bestens! Im/am Lagerfeuer ebenfalls zu verwenden oder auf Kelly Cattle oder Hobos. Benzinkocher z.B. Coleman Sportster II 533, sind ebenfalls kein Problem. Bis auf die isolierte Schicht des Griffs, erhitzt sich dieser recht schnell, daher nicht versehentlich zu weit nach vorn greifen! Griffisolierung ist aber ausreichend dimensioniert. Alles in allem eine gute Anschaffung, auf die ich nicht mehr verzichten mag.

this "jaffle iron" as we called them when we were kids, did exactly what I wanted. I was not expecting too much at the price-point and was pleasantly surprised. it is easy to use, easy to clean. The only slight issue is you will touch the hot part of the handle the first couple of times you use it, as other reviewers have pointed out, but after a couple of occasions, my brain clicked into gear and I have not done it since.

Got this for my husband who kept talking about grilled cheese sandwiches his mother used to make. This was cheaper than the one advertised as just like the old type and I was able to get free shipping. I like that it's nonstick and cleans like a dream. The only problem is that the little metal ring that holds the handles together got lost very quickly. I'll try to find something to replace it. However, the sandwiches cook so fast that you can just hold the handles together. The best part is that my hubby, who does absolutely nothing for himself in the kitchen, now will make his own grilled cheese! If it every breaks, I'll buy another! Oh...and l love to use it, too.

Great easy to use product lots of fun

Prodotto molto simpatico, lo utilizzo prevalente in campeggio. La piastra funziona molto bene per fare sandwich ripieni (Pie) con carne o verdure ecc…ma al suo interno è possibili anche cucina creps ripiene oppure usarlo per cucinare uova in pochi minuti. Ottimo
