The Black & Decker G48TD Grill and Waffle Baker combines three cooking functions into one machine. Functioning as a sandwich press is just one of its uses. Possibly even more exciting is the option to bake waffles. The hot plates are removable. This contributes to the functionality of the device. On one side are grids that allow you to make up to four waffles at once. This is great for breakfast or as a snack. When you reverse the plates you can use the flat surfaces to grill sandwiches. The third cooking function is just to open the machine out so that both hot plates are facing up and you can use it to cook things like hash browns, pancakes and eggs.
Even though this is not technically just a sandwich press, I wanted to review this appliance because, for the price, it offers really good value for money. And I think that being able to make great tasting pancakes and toasted sandwiches in the same machine is really cool. The third cooking function where the machine acts as a griddle does not really interest me but many of you may find this useful. The removable plates is something that makes it very easy to get them completely clean after each use. The fact that it cooks pankaes makes this almost necessary because it could be very difficult to clean the pancake making side if they were fixed. And if that was the case, this machine would only have one function. So I think the design is very impressive, the removable plates are not removable just so that you can clean them but rather because it allows the device to have many more cooking functions.
If you take a look on the Black & Decker website you can find out how much they are offering this product for sale. The next thing to do is to compare the price of the Black & Decker G48TD Grill and Waffle Baker on the Amazon website. You will likely find that their price is actually less than the manufacturer’s. So if you want to find the lowest price for this device, you know where you should go.
Since the cooking plates are removable, I am much less against cooking messy foods on using this machine than sandwich makers with fixed plates. The Cuisinart GR-1 is an excellent example of a great value sandwich press. However since it has fixed plates, I would personally never use it to cook anything other than sandwiches. So if you want more versatility then a 3 in 1 style appliance like the G48TD may well be right up your street. It has special channels that allow grease to drain away. This helps both health-wise and stops things from getting too messy. A feature that you may find useful that many machines of this price do not have is a heat control option. You can choose from between high, medium and low settings.
Kids love pancakes and waffles but you must be very careful with this machine. The hot plates become very hot. Therefore you must ensure that your children take the appropriate care if you are going to allow them to make their own or help you make some waffles.
The best price that I have found online for the Black & Decker G48TD Grill and Waffle Baker is from Amazon. They offer free delivery on many household appliances.
