$5.99 THRIFTED Breakfast Sandwich Maker

[@emmymade]

What do you put in your breakfast sandwich?🥓🍳🧀 =

[@chakrafist]

I love egg cheese and a big ol hash brown in the middle. Some bacon too sometimes but egg cheese hash brown is the go to for me.

[@leotrooper7831]

in Germany we do Gouda and Salami on Brötchen:)

[@blanecornell]

I use English muffins, hot Jimmy Dean sausage patty, egg patty, topped with jalepeno slices and pepperjack cheese. Thanks Emmy.

[@BeautyMonster1000]

Sausage, egg and cheese!

[@JulieSaldanaKaty]

I like bacon, a sausage patty or Canadian Bacon, with egg and cheddar cheese. I use a large egg, and slices of block cheddar cheese on my sandwich maker. I have had mine for a while and have never had a problem with it.

[@reidequi3976]

Hi Emmy! I really appreciate your videos so much. As a guy in his early 20s who has moved away from all my family, I was really really sad not being able to make any of my mom’s favorite dishes with her skill and love. After lots of practice and copying what you do in your videos I’d like to think I’m turning into a good little cook! Thank you so much for helping me connect with my mom more through our shared love of food. Itadakimasu!

[@lbednaz]

I used to work with disabled adults who lived independently. One guy loved breakfast sandwiches, but was advised not to use stove top. I would scramble 6 eggs, while he toasted English muffins, then we would add a slice of cheese and deli ham, and put eggs in between. Then wrap up in plastic wrap and he would microwave for 1min in the morning! He loved them and they looked good to me.

[@spink5gm]

Butcher from Canada here 😊 Canadian bacon is referred to as Back bacon here and it’s a smoked/cured pork loin! and Peameal is back bacon that’s been brined and rolled in cornmeal!! It’s very tasty

[@AngelBear007]

Hi American here, I'm an online gamer though so I have Canadian friends. Thanks for posting this so I don't have to annoy my friends with another dumb American questions. lol

[@writerinrwanda]

And in England you use back bacon in an English breakfast, but it looks nothing like that. It's a very different shape.

[@Erydanus]

I had this exact model but tossed it when decluttering to my regret. The one note I have for you is that the owner's manual specifically said use hard cheeses like cheddar. The reason for that is that American cheese will liquefy when put in as much heat as this little machine makes, and it gets messy. If you want to use American, just add it separately at the end, and let the heat of the sandwich melt the cheese. Also try adding some chives!

[@YouDummy]

I use a cookie cutter and trim off the sides of the American cheese. Fits perfectly and it doesn't drip out.

[@SleepyPeepers]

You can just fold the corners of the cheese onto it self making an octagon shape. Have made hundreds of sandwiches with american and never had it leak.

[@Erydanus]

@SleepyPeepers Fair, I just don't like the way it boils in this gadget. Cheddar, Monterey Jack, and Gouda work pretty well though.

[@independentthinker8930]

[@Esther-kq7nv]

I have that little appliance, but a slightly newer, digital one (same as your link). Hadn’t used it in a long time. I frequently eat the egg muffin breakfast sammiches from a local gas station/convenience store (they’re good). But your video reminded me that I have the little machine to make my own dang sammiches at home. Thanks!! Now I want one, & it’s almost bedtime. LOL!!

[@okunka]

I have even used a jumbo egg in mine without any problems. You just have to be sure it's hot when you start. I also cook my eggs for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes at the most. They come out nice and fluffy. Fresh deli cheese works better, too.

[@shwmehvn]

Loved mine. Used it all the time. Gave it to a friend after a year, now I miss it. Thanks for the vid!!

[@beckymoran321]

Little dry looking. I would add butter to the English muffin. Yum! Always wondered how that machine would work.

[@calvinoberg3802]

From Oregon here, i also got mine from a "thrift store" and paid $5.99 too. Tried the EnglishMuffin, TurkeyBacon, ShreddedCheddar with a CrackedEgg for 4 minutes, not 5. Mine tried out lovely. I use mine just to cook 2 eggs (1 top & 1 lower) for 3 minutes and use it 3x a week, for over a year. Never any problems.

I have one of these. It makes wonderful breakfast sandwiches any time of day or night! I find 4 to 4 1/2 minutes at most to cook the sandwiches.

[@even0dds585]

I love my sandwich maker. I have a double one. Ive sent them to a few people as gifts. I use the little pre cooked sausage rounds. Tastes exactly like sausage egg McMuffin. It is pretty easy to clean, damp cloth and the middle part can be removed and washed in the sink when needed. There are a few recipes around too, you can make little pizzas and such too.

[@leynan-ev6rz]

I add spicy chili onion crisp to my breakfast sandwich. I never really liked eating breakfast until I started using this stuff!😋🌶

[@burritofueled7415]

These things are great. I have the double and use it to mass produce breakfast sandwiches for the freezer.

[@karenneill9109]

My definitions of ‘bacon’, from a Canadian. Bacon- just like that in the US. From the belly of the pig, is smoked. Usually sold raw Ham- cured leg of pork, not usually smoked. Usually sold cooked Back bacon - cured and smoked loin of pork. It is usually sold cooked Peameal bacon- pork loin, cured, but not smoked, rolled in peameal, sold raw I believe ‘Canadian bacon’ in the US is what we call back bacon. There also seem to be cheaper versions which are really just ham in a circle, convenient for breakfast sandwiches.

[@wynnkidsnannylorivance4111]

I got my husband one for Christmas last year. He loves his.

[@terryivey5374]

I’ve used mine for years. Love the ready cook bacon in mine and often use jumbo eggs. I also have used an extra yolk. Cooks much better at a home environment where not distracted by filming and narrating. If you assemble when unit is heated and not stop in between, cooking is perfection. Doing closer to 4 minutes makes a better egg for me. I prefer a bit runny. Even with a full kitchen, this little gadget makes a tasty and fast sandwich. Still going strong after so many years and use.

I have a sandwich maker. It's one of my favorite small appliances. It's saved a lot of time and money.

[@XianHu]

Thank you, that was fun, but I wish you had shown the bottom of the cooked sandwich. "Canadian bacon" is just a specific type of smoked back bacon, as opposed to regular or "streaky bacon" which comes from the belly.

[@relax2dream164]

Canadian weighing in. It’s called back bacon here. Agree I’d like to have seen the other side. Back bacon

[@NOMCCBAMA]

I have the double version of this. Haven't used it in a while. But I use to put the muffin in split side toward the heating element while it preheated. Ten flip it around when I added everything else. I used precooked frozen sausage. (thawed first)

[@hippychickshannong3884]

We picked up one with timer about 3yrs ago for 5 bucks. I still use it during work days for hubby breakfast sammies. We also like to use flat bagels (do need to trim them to use,however its fun to make different morning sandwiches

It's always exciting when you find a cool kitchen gadget that's in good condition. Many years ago, I found a like new Snackmaster machine. You know the one from the 2AM infomercials from the 90s. The lady would make everything from omelet to corndogs to pizza. I loved that thing. Made the best grill cheese.😋

[@Mystress1980]

This is probably the only non-stick item I still own. I've had it for years, and never used scratchy stuff on it, so it's still pristine. It's just so easy to throw the stuff in, then continue getting read for the morning. I never had issues with larger eggs, but I think the english muffins we get around here are on the smaller side, so that may compensate. And yes, always cheese after. There's plenty of heat in the sandwich to melt it more than enough.

[@johngennari2899]

i travel for work and pack an even smaller type sandwich maker. love it and save millions over the years. keep it up emmy

[@Pyrolonn]

I use one all the time, but just to cook the egg and assembly. I toast the english muffin (Bays) in a pan and the sausage as well. Then when the egg is done, that's when the muffin, sausage and cheese goes in. I know what's the point? It does a great job with the egg. It is the second pan I would have used anyway. The nonstick surface does last and looks new even after routine use for years. (I used to use ham or Canadian bacon but prefer sausage so I only use that.)

[@adorkability]

I have that exact same one. I bought it new, but I think I only paid about $20 for it. I've had it for a good decade and it still works great! I'll sometimes use frozen waffles (partially toasted before hand) instead of English muffins. Tastes great!

[@kyoung2918]

Yes!! Our Canadian bacon is actually peameal bacon. It's cornmeal crusted pork loin, essentially and it's delicious! American "Canadian" bacon is just ham to us in Canada lol

[@cohort6159]

I have a dual sandwich version of this. Picked it up new on clearance at a substantial discount. I guess when I think about it, the cleanup doesn't make it worth the trouble when I could make the same sandwich in a pan with a silicone egg ring.

[@mountainghost5044]

Walmart (Great Value) sausage patties fit perfectly into this Breakfast Maker and taste GREAT.

[@waynesmith3908]

Hello Emmy, so I suggest you swap out the English muffin for a Pretzel roll bun instead Keep the Canadian Bacon Also swap the fake American garbage cheese instead use a slice of Cheddar Cheese and or a slice of the Pepper Jack hot Cheese !! It will taste way better.

[@monkeyman522]

I've had mine for ages. It's great. Butter the muffin. Use real cheese. Scramble the egg before pouring in. Don't put the top muffin on. Let the egg cook, 4 mins. Put the top muffin on right before you take it out. It makes breakfast sandwiches the way McDonald's did in the 70s, before they messed it up.

[@drewsreviews83]

Canadian bacon is called back bacon in Canada and the UK. Its not eaten very often though peameal bacon, a form of back bacon, is common.

Hi Emmy! I was born in Michigan and I remember peameal bacon, which is actually Canadian bacon that's been rolled in yellow peameal. And Canadians call the meat 'back bacon'. :)

[@MrAztek87]

I have one of these but it’s a double breakfast sandwich maker and with the timer. I been use it for years now.

[@tammydillander8992]

I got 2 my mini for Christmas and love them

[@terryc522]

I got one from my employer for “10 years” of service. 🤣 It’s on its 13th year and still going strong For the cheese, I just bend it over and tuck it under the meat, so it doesn’t hang over the edges (Not sure if Canadian Kraft slices are smaller) Precooked sausage rounds works great. I just slightly reheat 15 seconds to get the fridge chill off of it first Large eggs works fine (at least Canadian large size). Your cooker is preheated, so it cooks the egg edges to prevent leaks.

[@terryc522]

Edit to add. Reheat 15 seconds in the microwave

I have a double one of these. I dont relly.like it but i bulk make them and freeze them for my early morings at work

[@TracyKMainwaring]

My daughter got one when she turned 8. We still use it, 11 years later. My tips: when it's preheating, put the muffin in the top and bottom, upside down so the inside start to to toast. Or, even better, put the Eng muffin in a toaster on a bagel setting. I often use it with no English muffin. I've also made crustless mini pizzas in it.

[@LitVolWashCounty]

In my experience here in the New England region of the US, "Canadian bacon" is a pork product that is cured like bacon, sliced thinner than ham slices, usually in rounds. It is less fatty than strip bacon, and can tend towards the "chewy" side of things. Yummy!

[@DoomPhD]

I've tried 3 different breakfast sandwich makers and every single time it seems to make more sense to just use a pan

[@zweidouble8038]

Canadian here: What you guys call "Canadian Bacon", we just call ham. And what you guys call bacon, we call bacon. I never, ever saw anything labeled "Canadian bacon", and never saw someone outside an American call it "Canadian bacon". It's one of things where I've grown up ever only seeing Americans call it that. 😅

[@burritofueled7415]

Ok

[@raeperonneau4941]

That’s what McDonald’s calls the meat in the American Egg McMuffin. It’s not something most American’s eat on regular except on breakfast sandwiches. Another thing invented by the marketing department at Mickey D’s?

My fav breakfast sandwiches... 1 Scrambled eggs and cheese on wheat toast. And second frozen pancakes and burger sized sausage patties. P-S-P-S-P like a breakfast Big Mac. Yummy! With these small appliances you kinda have to weigh in the versatility. You can get a single burner hotplate and skillet and cook anything. You could also get an electric kettle (hotpot) for tea, coffee, packaged sides, hot dogs, ramen, boiling eggs...they are the same size as that breakfast sandwich maker which looks like a one trick pony. To be fair you can switch up your ingredients but it's still a breakfast sandwich. I have also seen a lot done with a waffle maker. And there are also toasters, maybe even the gf grill. Also you want to pay attention to how easy your gadget is to clean (and how clean they get for the effort) esp if you are in small space or if you pack the item in your luggage or smoosh it in a box with other stuff.

Speaking of breakfast, Im wondering if Emmy has ever cooked salt pork. Some stores have it in a chunk ( which never made sense because we always had to ask the butcher to slice it into a thickness of a thick cut bacon) anyhow the texture is so different from bacon because of the way the fat renders. Emmy might find it interesting that a close to inedible rind is left over after eating away the crackling like meat.
