I love making paninis and ciabatta sandwiches in our toastie machine - it's about 25 years old but it still works well - love 'em! Dammit I'm hungry now!

Stan, they do a basic steak ok, but they don't cook the meat well IMO and dries it out too much for my liking - it is healthier I guess, but I like flavour over health

The steak was 28 days hung so I didn't want to ruin it by overcooking it - it was barely singed. Cooking it for longer (rare) may well dry it out a bit but it did blue fine. I did rub oil on both sides before cooking it, I wasn't using it for health reasons, more for the convenience factor.

I'm pleased the George Forman is working OK for you, I heard reports that the model with the removable plates didn't get as hot as the other models, there are lots of disappointed reports on Amazon. But I might consider upgrading ours now

Fair enough I didn't realise they got hot enough to cook steak properly - as you say though it's probably a lot more convenient. I know you like your meat cooked the correct way (blue)

Yeah, mine's the same. I had it at Uni and it's just a complete bitch to clean. Would love one of those press ones like Sam has, so I could do paninis in it. Mmmmm!!!

Well I had a £30 Argos voucher that I didn't know what to do with, so I went in and got a Breville Panini toaster like Sam's yesterday. Last night I realised that it could also do cheese on toast too because it has a floating plate that you can hover above to make things on bread melt. We have no grill on our crappy old over, so I was delighted.

Had a nomtastic lunch today too.

So, thanks to Sam/Feek for inspiring me
