I wanted a sandwich, instead I got a nightmare
It’s hard to describe just how bad this thing is. But I’m going to try.
First off, it’s really 2 separate pieces that will come apart at the slightest tilt. Which means the middle cast iron part will almost certainly fall out when you forget that it is two pieces and turn it sideways to move it. God help you if your toes are exposed.
Most of this thing is exposed cast iron that gets hot, which means that the statistical likelihood of you burning your hand every time you eat is nearly 100%. It’s like a game of operation to get the food out without the burning alive of 100K innocent skin cells.
But don’t worry - you won’t be getting the sandwich out. Because it’s not a sandwich. It’s more like soup with some bread in it. So imagine filling a hot iron tube with soup and then opening it. What happens? Hot liquid cheese/egg soup goes everywhere. What you are left with is two soggy pieces of bread and a mess that would rival a 4-year old cooking in one of those commercials where the whole kitchen looks like a food Vietnam.
And good luck cleaning this thing. Liquified cheese dries quickly and it gets into all of the crannies of this little devil where it hides away, safe to rot in places where you will never be able to venture, even if you can wait the 30 minutes it takes for this thing to cool down enough to get in the general vicinity of it without losing your eyebrows.
Do yourself a favor: Save your 25$ and just cook your breakfast in a pan. You know - like you are doing right now. You don’t need this and you are going to hate it the way that a dog hates a shock collar.
