Breville has just released a new deep fill toasted sandwich maker in time for the return to school. It’s the deepest fill design yet, with plates shaped to hold the maximum filling, while sealing it in and slicing the sandwich into triangles.

The high hinge design also aids in keeping the inside of your sandwich where it should be. There’s nothing worse than making a cheese toastie and ending up with all of your cheddar filling escaping to coat the side of the appliance and the counter, while you wind up eating a sad, empty sandwich.

The one flaw of toasted sandwich makers is how much of a pain they are to clean. Breville has addressed this with removable plates that can be chucked into the sink when they’re dirty. They’re dishwasher safe as well.

The appliance has non-slip feet, cord storage and indicator lights. The handle is also cool to the touch, so it won’t heat up and burn your fingers when you’re trying to free your sarnie.
