apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Love it.

From the grilled cheese perspective, I prefer mine pressed, panini-style.

Very good idea

wouldn't all the melting cheese just schlooop on down to the bottom of the bag? you'd have a very lopsided sammich.

I don't see how anybody can reasonably make the case for a vertical toaster anymore. Even a cheap toaster oven does way more, much better than any traditional toast machine. You can make a perfectly even toasted cheese sandwich in a toaster oven. You can also make mini pizzas, tuna melts, and they are great for reheating any kind of fried food, that would sog and/or rubberize in a microwave. Butter too cold for your toast? The toaster oven can fix that too.

Throw out your stand-up toaster and get a toaster oven. No funny bags required, no more stuck, burning bagels.

Unless they're reusable, these bags are horrible for the environment.

Personally, I just don't have the space for a toaster oven in my kitchen and in general prefer toast from a vertical toaster (toaster ovens don't seem to toast as evenly? or maybe it's just the ones I've used...)

I think this is a great idea for an office where a toaster oven isn't available. I assume the results be subpar to a panini grill but definitely better than nothing! :)

You'd have to cut the bread too thin to fit in my toaster. And I agree with kdkaboom - all the cheese would fall to the bottom of the bad. It also wouldn't lend itself well to add-ins, like bacon or tomatoes and such.

Bottom line is a good satuee pan and butter is much more versatile.

Plastic, i assume. Not ok by me. Love my toaster oven, don't need anything else.

I've lost my mind. I just ordered them on Amazon, then remembered that I don't have a toaster.

where were these yesterday, when i plopped my (already) grilled cheese leftovers into the toaster at work to revive it and hoped no one would see me?

reusable and washable makes it even better.

Wouldn't plastic release its chemicals heated so much and so close to the food? And I wonder how many times, can they be re-used because it seems like this is yet another piece of plastic that will fill out the landfills just because we are looking for more convenience in making our paninis.

Excellent idea for those who suffer from celiac disease

cool idea for the original purpose, but would the bread get crispy though it?

gross.

*All* plastic off gasses, especially when heated. And do we really need another expensive gadget to substitute for real cooking? Ditto the landfill comment.
