Hamilton Beach Dual Breakfast Sandwich Maker with Timer. Silver (25490A)

Heard about this sandwich maker. Looked at videos and knew I had to have it! Makes delicious breakfast sandwiches, like really delicious. I prefer a pork roll, egg and cheese on a English muffin. 🤤

This little machine is the best. Tried it out today and it took 2 minute prep, 5 minute cook and the sandwiches came out perfect. This is a game changer for camping and trips where you don’t want to eat out all the time. Such a great purchase.

This little machine is a time saver. It preheats quickly, and only takes 4-5 minutes to cook the sandwich. It's super easy to use and leaves little to no mess after it's done. You plug it in, let it preheat, when the green light turns on that means it's preheated. You add the bottom of the English muffin, place your cheese/meats/veggies on top, you pull down the top cylinder, slide in the egg tray, add the egg and then place the top half of the english muffin on top of the egg, close it and set the timer on the device and it beeps when the timer hits zero to let you know it's finished. Then you unplug it to stop it from heating (it does not automatically turn off when timer hits zero), then you slide out the egg tray and lift the two cylinders up and viola! You now have a perfectly cooked breakfast sandwich! Side note, in case you are curious, you need to add precooked meats to it, not raw meats. Bacon, ham and sausage all have precooked variants at the grocery store which will expedite the cooking process for you because you don't need to preheat it or cook the meat prior to cooking which will save time and reduce the cleanup afterwards. Egg leakage was minimal, and I'm pretty confident they little that came out it was from me feeling the need to adjust the tray while it was cooking. The only leakage I noticed was from using oil spray on it. The oil dripped when I lifted the top cylinder. It said to use the oil lightly if you did choose to use it, I definitely didn't use it lightly so that's more of a me issue. It's the perfect size machine, not too big and it's lighter than expected, so it's pretty easy to store away etc. The instruction manual is self explanatory, super easy to understand and gives you some trouble shooting advice incase you mess up somehow and it doesn't turn out how you anticipated. The only way I could see it not properly cooking the food is if you didn't let the machine preheat and you didn't set a timer. And again. I want to emphasize it's super easy to clean, the metal cylinders are also dishwasher safe. I would absolutely recommend this product for those who want a quick hot breakfast with very little cleanup required. And two recommended sauces, Cajun majo or salsa goes great with the egg sandwich and the best cheese to use with this is finely shredded mild cheddar! That's just my personal opinion though. Some people said it smells... I think that's probably because they didn't clean it before first use. I cleaned mine prior to using it and i don't smell anything. It functions well for what it is. And side note, if you have marble counters like I do, you may want to skip the spray oil or make sure it's a very small amount, because oil will destroy marble counters if you don't clean it instantly. The device is all non stick material so you really don't even need to use a non stick spray. Hope this helps!!! :)

**Review update on 10/6/24, I've been using this daily. Still no leaks or issues and I've experimented with different English muffins and different meats etc and its made the sandwich perfectly each time. I do recommended toasting the English muffins first before putting them in this machine. But it will make it regardless it's just a matter of preference on how toasted you want the muffin. ***
