Versatile little appliance that makes a variety of delicious, hot sandwiches. Here's a link to the product: amzn.to/2eAcg5S More info: www.idigorganic...
The sizzle makes me hungry!! I was about to haul mine to Goodwill, after a huge mess because I used liquid egg whites, but maybe I’ll keep it and try again with regular eggs. I never thought of adding spinach.
Thanks!! i was given a barely used one by a friend but it had no box or instructions. made mine with sausage patty and would have put it in raw to cook except your video saved me :)
You're welcome. We don't use it every day but it doesn't take up much space, kids really like it, and it's fun to experiment with different sandwich combos.
@@idigorganics No you learn as you go! Try to be friendly and helpful to others. My van isn't new but she is cute and comfy. And everything has its place.I have about 5 small appliances that fit in a small area in my van that nobody can even see them.
You're welcome and thanks for the feedback. If you have the space for another small appliance, it comes in handy and isn't crazy expensive. Experimenting with various ingredients is fun too :)
Mine came out soggy like from the steam. Got this so I don't have to hover over the stove flipping things. I set and forget. What could be the issue for me? It was like really soggy on the bottom. Top was fine
I'm not really sure but besides the possibility of being defective, were the english muffins previously frozen and not given enough time to thaw? Maybe they had too much moisture?
@@idigorganics I hope it's not tbh. They weren't frozen or in the fridge. I had it in there for the 5 mins. Everything was cooked it was just soggy. Was my first time using it. Will try it again tomorrow or something. Im assuming it was the ham I guess. Maybe from the heat. Who knows
I bought one years ago, and it has been sitting on my shelf ever since. Every time I have ever tried to use it, the egg has run out. I watch these videos, and I see your eggs turn white almost immediately indicating that they are cooking as soon as they touch the surface. Mine do not. Not once. I don't understand if I got a flawed unit or what.
Yeah, when making the vids it almost becomes like having a conversation with someone and little things like that escape but I don't notice them until editing the video and then it's too late to fix them without going back and re-doing the vid :)
Don't forget to add spices to egg before placing top of muffin. Canadian bacon is another good meat and regular strips of precooked bacon cut into pieces taste delish.
Sorry, don't really know why you can't use eggbeaters - that's just what it said in the instructions. You'd have to get the answer from Hamilton-Beach.
Thanks. I'm surprised there weren't any instructions - probably trying to save money, but all appliances should come with at least a basic start-up guide.
I don't use the gloves anymore either, but I had to do like 10 video takes back-to-back because I kept flubbing the lines, dropping an ingredient, or forgetting to mention something, so it got fairly hot.
I was trying to show how to use the appliance, not dictate anyone's ingredient choices. If you watched the video you'll know that organic eggs, tomatoes, and other organic options were mentioned as possible ingredients when the second sandwich was made..
Never spray a non-stick surface as you will ruin the purpose of the non-stick. After a while, you'll get a build-up of non-stick spray and then it's ruined.
I always follow the manufacturer's instructions because they're the ones that warranty the product. If they say spray, I spray. If they say don't spray, I don't.
When I made the video I had only used it one time before making the vid so it's partially my fault if it looks complicated because it's not. Plus, I was trying to be thorough for the video.
For those of you who kept saying it spills my eggs out of the ring. Make sure your round slide out plate lines up with the ring wall to keep the egg from weeping out. Adjust your round plate if you see egg whites running out of the ring quickly when it happens. I always add the top muffin after the egg cooked, slide out round plate and let it set for a minute to warm up the muffin top. Then open the rings to slide the muffin sandwich to the plate, add cheese while it is hot. Wrap it in paper towel, let it sit for a minute or three, to soften a bit, melting cheese. Delicious! I also make pizza muffin. Preheat, then when ready, put one slice of the muffin on the bottom, add pizza sauce, bacon bits, and a bit of cheese. Put down the round plate and upper ring to cook your pizza. Cook until cheese is melted. If your pizza is over stuffed, slide the round plate out and use the two rings to cook your pizza. Works every time!
And yes I have tried pancakes and keto muffins on it and it's so good! Trial and error for adjustments, cook times and more experiments. You will get there!
Lol, the glove lol! “Goat cheese, egg whites & spinach”? How fancy. You could have used 1/2 the cheese and 3/4 of one of those deli meat slices lol. “The recipe didn’t call for salt”? Who needs a recipe to instruct you to use salt for cooling? Ans. The person who would buy this. I’ll be this is the kind of product there are many returns on lol.
Well, it was really hot and since I wasn't used to handling the sandwich maker at that point and was making a video and didn't want to fumble around, I thought the silicone would be a better choice because it's 'grippier' than regular potholders.
i dig organics I just bought mine. You don't have to use gloves to operate it when I did mine first time, just have to know which specific areas to touch.
Thank you. Just bought mine for $6 at Goodwill. Definitely a great purchase to avoid fast food
You're welcome :) Good find for $6, and thanks for supporting Goodwill.
They had two at my Goodwill. I got myself one! $4.99!
I just bought one at Goodwill today. LOL!
I just bought one at goodwill for 3.99.
We did too. hahah
I put the top bun on after the egg has cooked for 2 minutes. The top bun only needs 2 minutes as the machine is very hot.
There at garage sales all day for $5
Good to know. re the garage sale - not sure I'd buy a used one (nor any used food related appliance), but thanks for mentioning it.
I got mine for £5 from FB marketplace. It's super and was brand new.
Best review so far! Thanks for being so thorough ☺️
You're welcome, and thanks for the feedback!
Great job on the video. I just bought mine, yesterday and LOVE IT!
Thanks for the feedback, and have fun experimenting with the machine - it's very versatile.

:)
It's fun to play around with different combinations, especially when you're cooped up in the house for some reason.
Great presentation, natural and I love your sense of humor. Enjoyed watching this video!
You're welcome, and thanks for the feedback :)
Watched a couple reviews on this sandwich maker before deciding on whether to buy one. I loved your review, very precise 😊
Thanks for the feedback :)
It's a fun appliance esp. for kids, and doesn't take up much space.
Just got one for my birthday! The instructions were a little confusing but you cleared it right up! I can't wait to try it.
Thanks for the feedback :) It's a handy little appliance - have fun experimenting!
I actually just cooked a slice of turkey bacon on the bottom plate and was able to enjoy it with that nice singed texture.
Great idea! Thanks for sharing :)
Thanks!! i was given a barely used one by a friend but it had no box or instructions. made mine with sausage patty and would have put it in raw to cook except your video saved me :)
You're welcome. Eating raw pork would definitely not have been good :-(
Enjoyed watching! Got mine today but didn't know to poke that egg yolk! I'll try again tomorrow.
Thanks - have fun experimenting :)
I just put the egg in a small bowl and use a fork to scramble it, then salt and pepper. Before pouring into the ring.
Thank you for the review! It's helpful even all these years later
You're very welcome :)
Convinces me to buy one. Thank you.
You're welcome. We don't use it every day but it doesn't take up much space, kids really like it, and it's fun to experiment with different sandwich combos.
First class demonstration.
And a first class reply - thanks :)
Thank you thank you. Love the way you explain everything on how ti use it
You're welcome, and thanks for the feedback :)
Excellent instructions. I have one but lost the instructions. This was very helpful.
Thanks for the feedback :)
I just got one today, with a timer. I love breakfast sandwiches. Thank you as this was very informative. Rob
You're welcome :)
Yeah, l bought a Hamilton breakfast burrito maker because it has the built in timer.
The double sandwich maker has a timer, single one does not. I bought both at resale stores cheep love them i keep the single one in the motor home.
Great video! I added mine to my cart today.
Thanks, and enjoy the sandwich maker :)

Thanks! waiting on mine to come in can't wait to play with it.I collect small appliances for the van I camp in.
You're welcome. Your van must be awfully cramped :)

might be great to make little pancakes
Good idea. I'll have to try that.
Don't have to spray
It's non-stick 🍳
Tyvm excellent explanation n demonstration ❤
Yvw, and thanks for the feedback :)
Perfect! Thank you for the post! Excited to try mine.
You're welcome, and thanks for the feedback. Have fun experimenting with all the different sandwich combos :)
How do you make without eggs spilling
The ring is supposed to keep the eggs in place. Maybe it's not preheated enough?
you did a very good job thank you
My earlier vids were a bit too long, but thanks :)
Excellent video! You sold me on it :)
Thanks for the feedback :).

You sound like Ralph Machio from the Karate kid. Daniel son!
A few people in the various videos have said the same thing:) Wax on!
Some very good tips ... Thanks 👍🙂
You're welcome and thanks for the feedback :)
Thank you, great video, very helpful.
You're welcome, glad it helped, and thanks for the feedback :)

I watch these videos, and I see your eggs turn white almost immediately indicating that they are cooking as soon as they touch the surface. Mine do not. Not once. I don't understand if I got a flawed unit or what.
Maybe the preheat button isn't working properly? Try preheating it a little bit longer.
This was very helpful. Thank you for making the video. :)
You're welcome :)
LOL @ 9:36 !! " It was Ouch"..!! Too funny :)
Yeah, when making the vids it almost becomes like having a conversation with someone and little things like that escape but I don't notice them until editing the video and then it's too late to fix them without going back and re-doing the vid :)
@@idigorganics it's better you leave little things like that in :)
I love these things
Me too! Very versatile appliance.
Very good demo. I just got one. I agree with the unbalanced comment. And it does get hot. Wouldn't let kids use it..
Thanks for the feedback. Even with the quirks, we still use it quite often. Older kids s/b okay once you show them how to use it.
Great review! 👍🏾
Thanks for the feedback :)
Don't forget to add spices to egg before placing top of muffin. Canadian bacon is another good meat and regular strips of precooked bacon cut into pieces taste delish.
Good advice! Thanks for sharing :)
Just wondering why one can't use eggbeaters? Leak out too much? I haven't bought them in a long time (love yolks, dislike the whites)
Sorry, don't really know why you can't use eggbeaters - that's just what it said in the instructions. You'd have to get the answer from Hamilton-Beach.
Use whatever you want..
Good review.
Thanks :)
I just bought this at Bed Bath and Beyond. It was 20 bucks after the 20% coupon. I'm anxious to try after watching your video!
It makes great little sandwiches and we coming up with new combinations to try. I think you'll be really happy with it.
can i put pizza crust in it
We've never tried it but it sounds like a fun experiment :)
Great .. Thanks for the tips ..
You're welcome. :)
Good info.👍🏼
Mine came with no instructions.
👍🏼
Thanks. I'm surprised there weren't any instructions - probably trying to save money, but all appliances should come with at least a basic start-up guide.
😂😂 I use mine all the time without the gloves 😅 it really doesn’t get that hot
I don't use the gloves anymore either, but I had to do like 10 video takes back-to-back because I kept flubbing the lines, dropping an ingredient, or forgetting to mention something, so it got fairly hot.
Yes it does! My nephew burned his hand badly on one by not using a mitt...it will and can burn!
Good job.
Thanks :)
Organic?? Yet you used processed cheese, processed ham and cooking spray.
I was trying to show how to use the appliance, not dictate anyone's ingredient choices. If you watched the video you'll know that organic eggs, tomatoes, and other organic options were mentioned as possible ingredients when the second sandwich was made..
Never spray a non-stick surface as you will ruin the purpose of the non-stick. After a while, you'll get a build-up of non-stick spray and then it's ruined.

Nice review... Although it sounds like the Karate Kid is giving It! :D Cheese On \ Cheese Off!! :D Peace!
Thanks for the feedback. You're like the tenth person over the years that has said that :)
Try making a fried crispy chicken sandwich instead!
Sounds delicious
I'll use my Bella panini maker.
A panini maker has been on my wish list for a while now. I'll get one eventually :)
Looks complicated.
When I made the video I had only used it one time before making the vid so it's partially my fault if it looks complicated because it's not. Plus, I was trying to be thorough for the video.
Looks like a hoax
A hoax? Not sure what you mean.
I decided against buying this due to the fact that I couldn't overfill my sandwich 😁
make two :)
For those of you who kept saying it spills my eggs out of the ring. Make sure your round slide out plate lines up with the ring wall to keep the egg from weeping out.

Wow! Thanks for the detailed tutorial. Haven't tried making pancakes yet, but as you mentioned, half the fun of the sandwich maker is experimenting.
Does anyone else think he sounds like the karate kid?
Someone else mentioned that for a different video. Wax on!
You know this world is going wrong when you need a machine to make a sandwich
I hear ya :)
Lol, the glove lol!
“Goat cheese, egg whites & spinach”? How fancy.
You could have used 1/2 the cheese and 3/4 of one of those deli meat slices lol.
“The recipe didn’t call for salt”? Who needs a recipe to instruct you to use salt for cooling? Ans. The person who would buy this.
I’ll be this is the kind of product there are many returns on lol.
Well, thanks. Awesome comment. I'm happy with the sandwich maker and still have it. Have a great day.
Why are you watching then?
Silicon glove, really? What an Overkill, lol!
Well, it was really hot and since I wasn't used to handling the sandwich maker at that point and was making a video and didn't want to fumble around, I thought the silicone would be a better choice because it's 'grippier' than regular potholders.
i dig organics I just bought mine. You don't have to use gloves to operate it when I did mine first time, just have to know which specific areas to touch.
Safety first!
