A fun activity for kids is to cook food for themselves. It’s following the proverb, “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” It is also one of the few ways to satisfy the curiosity of your child while teaching them a life skill that will come in handy for the rest of their lives.
A sandwich is the easiest recipe to start with. Children just have to learn how to layer ingredients and grill the slices of bread. Having Usha’s sandwich maker at home will make the cooking easy, stress-free, and safe. The electric appliance is easy to use, and you can place it on a tabletop to allow children a wide space to work with and avoid accidents. Below are some fun recipes to begin the classes with.
Banana and Peanut Butter Toastie
Spread peanut butter on one side of a bread slice and layer round banana slices over it. Put the other slice on the sandwich to close it, and place it on the grill of the sandwich maker. Wait until it turns golden brown. This warm, gooey sandwich is sweet and rich in protein and potassium, making it an ideal choice for breakfast or an after-school snack. You can even drizzle a little bit of honey for extra sweetness.

Egg and Mayo Pocket Sandwich
Mash a hard-boiled egg with a spoonful of mayonnaise and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread this mixture on a slice of bread and top with another slice. This protein-rich sandwich is ideal for lunchboxes or quick dinners, both for kids and adults. It’s mild in flavour, safe for toddlers, and can be customised with herbs or chopped veggies to placate your child.
Corn and Paneer Toastie
Mix crumbled paneer, boiled corn, and a tablespoon of grated cheese with mild seasoning like salt and a pinch of chaat masala in a deep bowl. Spread this blend between two slices of bread and grill them in Usha's sandwich maker. This colourful snack is tasty and nutritious. Paneer adds protein, and kernels give a burst of sweet flavour when bitten with teeth. It's a wholesome dish for vegetarians.
Cheesy Veggie Pocket Sandwich
Children love cheesy snacks, and this one will be their go-to pick when you are not around in the house. Start by spreading a thin layer of pizza sauce on bread slices and top with grated cheese, chopped capsicum, tomatoes, corn, and carrots. Cover with another slice and grill in Usha's sandwich maker until golden and crisp. Make sure you keep chopped vegetables readily available in the refrigerator. You can also serve this as a snack at a children's party or fix these for tiffin.
Chocolate Spread and Berry Sandwich
Who does not love chocolate? Children cannot have enough of them. Spread a thin layer of classic chocolate spread (or the one with dry fruits) on bread and top with chopped strawberries or banana slices stored in your refrigerator. Grill the sandwiches until lightly toasted. Kids will love oozing chocolate from sandwiches.
