Quite handy
So far i’m really liking this gadget.it toasts the bread, heats everything up and does a great job of cooking an egg.english muffins do work great, but so does bread, I cut the bread, squish it in with dab of butter, top it with deli meat or seasoned hamburger(precooked) and top with another piece of buttered bread.very handy and quick.I cook it for 5 minutesI bought it on a lark, and it took me 2 months to get around to trying it.totally worth it.

The convenience is unparalleled. As someone with a hectic morning routine, this machine has shaved off valuable time in the kitchen. The design is perfect for making two sandwiches at the same time, which is a game-changer. The timer function is a thoughtful addition, ensuring that my sandwiches are cooked without any guesswork. The removable parts make cleanup easy, and they're dishwasher-safe, making my mornings even more stress-free. The heating elements work efficiently. It's a far cry from the soggy, uneven results I used to get with my stovetop attempts. It doesn't take up much space, making it a practical addition even for smaller kitchens. The machine itself doesn't have an on/off switch, so you need to plug and unplug it to control its operation. It's not suitable for making other types of sandwiches or grilled items. Despite this, It's become an indispensable part of my kitchen

We don’t expect much from appliances these days, unfortunately. There is, in our family, a Turkey roaster from the 1940s that still cooks the bird every year.

A toaster oven bought last week fails in 3 years.

They don’t make em like they used to, etc,

OR DO THEY? Oh boy. Do I got a freaking deal for you.

When I bought this on Christmas Day, 2015, fast food was still relatively cheap. Now it is unbelievably expensive. But, you can beat your McMuffin craving by hitting the grocery store and storing the ingredients properly.

Eggs last up to a month past the date on the carton (seriously). Put American cheese slices in Tupperware and they will last a month. Butter keeps. Freeze the English muffins if you have to. Freeze the meats as well. Here we go:

(Caution, Midwest prices ahead.)

Currently egg prices are back down (Jan. 2024)

English muffins are $2 to $4 for 6, depending on quality, and they freeze well.

Large Amazon competitor grocery supercenter has frozen breakfast sausage patties between $10-$14 for 14 to 20 Patties, (less than a dollar per patty).

Canadian bacon at same store? Less than 50 cents apiece (9 slices for $4.18).

Stack of 24 American Cheese slices will run 4 bucks. You already have butter/margarine.

Not doing any more math. It’s cheap! It’s easy as heck to use! Cleans up great. Lasts forever. I didn’t even really treat mine all that well and here we are, going over my gosh dang grocery list.

$35 bucks right now as I post this. I paid $40 for mine. 8 years. Still going. Think on that right quick and buy one. You will not regret it!

I am a senior who has to cook for two, and there is little I hate doing more than cooking. I suppose I could be good at it if I enjoyed it, but I heavily depend on my Ninja Foodi to throw things together for dinner. My partner, who doesn’t want to be bothered with anything, microwaves his lunches, and it’s your typical over-priced, over-processed stuff that creates a ton of plastic trash. Also, I just don’t like the way food cooks in a microwave so I avoid it myself.

So I watched YouTube videos of people using this little egg sandwich maker and bought a Kindle book with recipes. So much advice from so many people! All say “It takes trial and error to find out what you like.” So I thought I’d just ruin something to take this tidy little machine on a maiden voyage. I brushed a thin layer of olive oil on the rings and griddle parts before I cooked my first sandwich. We haven’t bought muffins or bagels yet, but I did buy a set of stainless steel cookie cutters that has a 4” ring in the set so I can cut bread or tortilla or other circles. But when the cooker came, I was too excited even to fool with that. I cut a piece of that wide rye bread with the rounded edges in half to make one sandwich, fully expecting leakage because the bread didn’t extend to the edges of the rings. Put in the bread half, a slice of ham, a slice of cheese; closed down the top ring and cracked in an egg, using an edge of the shell to break the yolk. (I am confused why Hamilton Beach’s instructions say to prick the yolk with a fork, but then says not to use metal utensils because they’ll damage the non-stick coating.) Following advice from others, I didn’t put the top piece of bread on the raw egg until the last minute or so—they say it keeps the bread from having egg soaked into it—but that was probably unnecessary and prevented the top piece of bread from being as toasty as the bottom one.

Initial impression: Easy. Tasty. This thing is forgiving as long as you remember to use oven mitts and give your cooked sandwich time to cool down some—especially if you cook it a little too long, as I did. Also, next time I make TWO of these, I’m going to scramble one egg and mix in a few veggies fritata-like, divide it between the two top sandwich rings, then put the cheese on top before putting on the bread instead of putting it in the bottom ring. Or maybe put half a cheese slice on the bottom and half on top. The book I bought with egg sandwich maker recipes does the cheese on top of the egg, and I think that’s a good plan to keep egg out of the bread while ensuring the top and bottom pieces cook evenly.

People are nothing but creative with this egg sandwich maker. Just search for Hamilton Beach egg maker on YouTube. My mother used to make a marvelous enchilada casserole she got out of some 1950s magazine: four lightly turned-in-oil corn tortillas in a layer, a layer of chopped onion, a layer of sharp grated cheddar cheese; repeat for two more layers; then top it all off with a can of Hormel or Old El Paso chili without beans and more cheese. I’m going to try adapting that recipe to this egg cooker to make little dinner enchiladas for the two of us. The worst that will happen is that it will make a mess and it won’t cook quite right, but I’m game to experiment. Now I just have to try to wean Robert off his Jimmy Deans, which always seem to be sold out…and he ought to be able to manage it with this cooker.

UPDATE: I use this almost every day. Street taco sized tortillas work great in it, the corn ones less well than the flour. The La Banderita flour tortillas curl up the sides a bit and cook to a satisfying crunchiness with sides that help keep the ingredients from sliding around. I make two with real bacon bits and cheese and an egg on top of each, then flip one over on top of the other for a perfect two-egg sandwich. I'm still experimenting with how best to time cooking the eggs so they're not overdone and rubbery, but this little appliance is great!

I have only used this once but it made the best toast gluten free sandwich. It toasted the outside of the gf english muffin yet still kept the inside soft. The little sliding plate released the cheese just like it was supposed to. Cleaning it was easy and quick. Pan toasting sometimes makes the bread too hard and it was nice not having to use too much oil or butter. I can't wait to make 'eggwiches' using what I like instead of buying the frozen breakfast sandwiches. Little fritattas/omelettes are also on the menu to make in this little machine.

Our 13yr old daughter wanted this so bad, as her friend has one! She used some of her own money and has no regrets! Her and her sister(14 yr old) use it every school day!! It takes exactly 4 1/2 mins to cook! Just enough time for them to get dressed!! They both LOVE it! I personally love that it is small, does not take up a lot of counter space, super easy to clean!! I gotta admit this is a LOVED product in our house!!
