Hamilton Beach Breakfast Sandwich Maker: Morning Hero?

[@gus4cg]

Interesting gadgets, too much fiddling with it, and washing up after. I prefer my nonstick skillet, plop it in, turn it over,done.😊 thank you Matt. Fun video. Love the puppies ❤

[@IWantToCook]

Thanks for watching, as always. 👍

My daughter bought a used device just like this, once I demonstrate this to my grandchildren they will use it non stop , 4 growing boys always hungry

[@IWantToCook]

Fantastic! This device should help 😋

[@josepnt]

I think you should let the egg cook before putting the top bread

[@theghostofsw6276]

Yeah.....I don't think a muffin should be placed on top of a raw egg and then cooked. I just got one of these, and will see if I can cook the egg first. Kind of sucks that you'll have to cook the meats first, or pay the price for pre-cooked meat (I'd rather bacon, sausage OVER ham any day). Thanks for the video.

[@IWantToCook]

Yes, definitely use cooked meat. This just doesn’t get hot enough or cook long enough to cook the meat. I cook mine separately in batches and refrigerate it, then use only what I need when making a breakfast sandwich in this. As for the muffin on top, that’s what the instructions specify, and ultimately it works. Hope you get tasty results!

Thanks for the video! I just bought one on an impulse and now know the do's and don't. DON'T use American cheese cause it'll turn into liquid. DO break the yolk and cook the egg a minute or two before adding the top English muffin

[@IWantToCook]

Good tips! I continue to also learn its idiosyncrasies and appreciate its functionality. 👍

Trivia is fennel

[@lisaboban]

Oh my goodness, Chef Matt. That thing is a waste of space. Send it back to the thrift store! Even my husband, who does not cook much at all, can make a breakfast sandwich using a frying pan and a toaster in the time it takes to preheat that thing. And all those exposed hot surfaces look dangerous! Looks like you're enjoying it, though! Fennel!

[@IWantToCook]

Heh. I’m a sucker for gadgets. I used this thing again today while I made the dogs’ breakfast. Homemade of course 😀

[@yanirisencarnacion04]

Trivia: That's Fennel.

[@Altazmuth]

I've seen this machine many times in my thrift store visits. I think it was a good idea but the clean up looks pretty bad. I don't have a dishwasher and obviously it looks like it can't put under water to soak. Thanks for your presentation though.

[@IWantToCook]

Thanks for watching! The pull-apart design for washing is pretty nifty. I am eager to see how the nonstick finish holds up over time. For what I paid for it, it’s already paid for itself a few times over in a couple of weeks 😋

[@lisaboban]

What's the dog's name?

[@IWantToCook]

Bronco and Libby! And they like breakfast sandwiches, lol 😋

[@johnstump2433]

I believe it is Fennel

[@PoofyPuff1]

Fennel

[@jackflash5659]

I've been making the same breakfast sandwich with an egg ring, a small frypan a couple times a month for over 10 years. I stopped buying the egg McMuffin from McDonalds that long ago.

[@IWantToCook]

Nice! The egg ring tool is cool. 🙌

[@saintrude]

I think it's fennel. I used to have a recipe that broiled it with prosciutto and cheese. I really like it. I dice it up in tuna salad sometimes. I have seen that sandwich maker at Goodwill but never paid much attention. I'll have to take a better look.

[@sheilaabayateye1558]

Fennel I love it cooked or raw in salads. Must see if I can get one of those sandwich makers in the uk

[@mikegu2527]

The last time I bought an egg McMuffin was way back when they were 2 for a dollar. Nowadays, I use an antique Acme "cowboy skillet" just large enough for an egg, and just the right size for a sandwich.

[@IWantToCook]

Nice! Those little skillets are cool. I have a Lodge cast iron one (ok, maybe two...)

[@jainthomas6223]

I got the single one first but loved it so much that I got the double one soon after. They work great. 👍 I also ended up getting the Hamilton Beach burrito maker , BUT that one there was Crap...

[@IWantToCook]

Good to hear. Now I need to thrift the burrito one, lol 😂

[@bryantallansmith8303]

The trivia item is fennel. The breakfast maker would be impractical for me as I do not live alone. I also do not eat McDonald's so duplicating that sandwich has no appeal. However, bacon, egg, and toast in a cast iron pan would do nicely.

[@Tom-sg4iv]

You don't know what you are missing out on. Best thing at McDonald's

[@just4men]

Thank you very much for your videos. Delightful and cheerful. I enjoy seeing a real person trying out gadgets. It's fennel

[@IWantToCook]

Thanks so much for your kind words and for watching 🙌

[@jonlouis2582]

I love gadgets as well, and I love that you review stuff like this. I just saw one in a thrift shop the other day. I love egg McMuffins and now that they cost $8 where I live, I might try this!

[@IWantToCook]

Whoa! That price! One of these could pay for itself quickly. 👍

[@smpbiker9233]

Where's mom. What's she thinking about this? Ask mom. We want mom.

[@janicedegen2626]

Okay my sweethearts, Mummie is here & sends love to all of you! Regarding the Chef Matt "mock" McDonald's Breakfast Sandwich"-- A great fast idea for one person! It can be cooking while fixing coffee, etc. However, since I am a total dinosaur, I do the eggs on a griddle (popping the yoke while cooking) and assemble the sandwiches. But why go through all that for only 1 breakfast? Do up a batch and wrap them in foil to either be eaten the next day or frozen! Yum Yum!

[@bevintx5440]

The mystery vegetable is fennel. I used to slice it very thinly and put it in salads.

[@j7ndominica051]

Only the egg needs cooking. If I was in a hurry, I'd just spread some butter on bread, and put a slice of sausage or any cold cut on it and be done. Then I don't have any butter on the outside and can keep my hands clean. It would still be better than a sandwich in a plastic bag where the liquid got time to penetrate into the the bread. If I had time to crack eggs, I'd scramble them on a pan more efficiently by cooking 4 to 6 eggs at once. It seems that Americans always refry their already baked bread into a toast or whatever. In the language I usually hear "spread it on a toast" and not "on slice of bread". It can be nice, but is not essential.

[@beentheredonethat814]

I found a new in box HB double breakfast sandwich maker at my local Goodwill for $14. I've had it for over a month and hadn't used it yet but watching your video has inspired me to give it a try. Ironically I saw a 2nd one today (used) at the same Goodwill priced at just $4.79. I find if I wait long enough I always seem to find what I'm looking for...always a fabulous treasure to be found!!

[@IWantToCook]

Indeed! Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy the results 👍
