As more and more people are living the busy lifestyle, they rely on smart kitchen appliances that can make their kitchen tasks easy and fast. One such device that has become an integral part of the kitchens in India is the sandwich maker.
The concept of having a good breakfast with family members has become obsolete. Instead, the modern trend is making a quick dish and having it on the go. A popular choice among many families is the ever-so-loved sandwich.
Stuffed with vegetables and goodness of cheese, the sandwich is a perfect on-the-go meal option for breakfast. It is tasty, healthy and fulfilling too. You can make your favourite sandwich within minutes in a sandwich maker and have a perfect start to your day.
These appliances are extremely versatile and easy to use. However, among the endless number of models and types of sandwich toaster available in the market, such as the cast iron sandwich maker and ceramic coated sandwich maker, choosing the right one can be difficult.
Speaking of ceramic-coated sandwich makers, there has been a long-standing debate about whether they are good or not. Let us know more about them. Today, you get a lot of non-toxic ceramic cookware, such as tawas, griddles, and sandwich makers. But is the ceramic coating really good? Well, the answer is a big YES!
Many modern sandwich maker models, like the Elasto BS202 1000 Watt Grill Sandwich Maker offered by Wipro Appliances, come with a non-toxic ceramic coating. This coating is basically a layer of material applied over the cooking plates to prevent food from sticking to the appliance, in this case, the sandwich maker.
When you are in a hurry to reach the office in the morning and trying to make a quick breakfast, the last thing you want is a piece of sandwich getting stuck to the sandwich toaster. But if you have a sandwich toaster with a ceramic coating over the grill plate, you can be sure to never face such issues.
The coating ensures that sandwiches, especially those made with cheese, don’t get stuck to the surface and come out easily. Because of the non-stick coating, you don’t have to brush the sandwich grill plate with butter, allowing you to enjoy healthier food. The non-stick ceramic coating also makes it easier for you to clean the sandwich maker.
You can simply wipe off the surface with a damp cloth or sponge, and you are done! But make sure that you let the sandwich maker cool down first after use and then wipe it clean.
How to clean a sandwich maker that has a non-toxic ceramic coating or any other non-toxic cookware?
Cleaning a sandwich toaster is quite easy, and it may take less than 10 minutes. You just have to follow the below steps:
- After making your breakfast, close the lid of the sandwich maker and switch it on for a few seconds, say about 30 seconds. This heating process is an important step, as it allows the excessive oily reside to loosen from the surface of the sandwich maker.
- While the sandwich maker is heating up, prepare a cleaning solution by mixing vinegar and water in a ratio of 1:10. Now, switch off the sandwich maker and remove the plug from the socket. Pour the vinegar-water cleaning solution over the hot place and close the lid again. Let it rest for 3-5 minutes.
- Open the lid and gently scrub the surface of the sandwich maker with a sponge. This will help you easily remove the residual grease and the ingredients' smell.
- If the stain is too deep and the vinegar and water solution is ineffective, you can make a solution of baking soda and vinegar or lemon juice. Mix 1 tbsp of baking soda with 2 tbsp of vinegar, coat the surface of the sandwich maker plate with the solution, let it rest for a few minutes, and then clean it off with a kitchen sponge.
- If your sandwich maker has a removable plate, spray it with a concoction of lukewarm water and the usual dishwashing liquid you use at home. Let the liquid sit for a few minutes before cleaning it with a sponge.
- After you clean the surface, allow it to dry completely, and it will be ready for next use.
Another simple technique to ensure that your sandwiches don’t stick to the surface of the toaster is to use a non-stick cooking spray. While making sandwiches, instead of applying oil or butter, use the cooking spray over the surface. This keeps your sandwich safe from sticking to the surface and also eases the cleaning process.
