From a quick fix for breakfast to making easy desserts at the end of the day, a sandwich maker deserves much appreciation for simplifying everyday kitchen tasks. The best part is that a sandwich maker is the perfect appliance for everyone. Whether you’re a college student living in a hostel or a working professional making it through the morning rush, you can quickly prep breakfast or a healthy snack using the handy kitchen appliance. 

But if you want to extend the longevity of your Usha’s sandwich maker, here are some handy tips you can keep in mind. Starting from knowing how to get the perfect crisp and hacks to maintain the appliance, scroll through to get perfect results from a sandwich maker.

Always Preheat

One of the first things to keep in mind is to preheat your Usha sandwich maker. It is understandable that you’re in a hurry while prepping a sandwich, but while you’re putting the fillings together, just switch on the appliance, and you’ll see a noticeable difference in the crispiness. This is especially important to give you a perfectly melted cheese sandwich and crunchy bread.

Butter The Bread

Once your Usha’s sandwich maker is preheated and you're ready with your slices of bread with awesomeness stuffed in between, spread some butter, oil, or ghee on the top surface of your bread. You don’t need to add excessive amounts of fat; just a thin layer would do, but this simple step will not only make your sandwich crispier but also prevent it from sticking to the sandwich maker.

Layer Smartly

Aren’t sandwiches the best way to use leftovers from your dinner? Whether you’re using leftover sabzi, grated paneer, sliced salad, or even homemade chutneys, you can layer them smartly to prevent the sandwich from turning soggy. All you need to do is place a slice of cheese, a layer of potatoes or even a lettuce leaf between the slice of bread and wet fillings. Now, while transferring the contents to the sandwich maker, make sure not to overpress, and you’ll get the best sandwich.

Pressing Techniques

After the light of your sandwich maker turns green, and you open it to take a look, do you often feel a frown while looking at the spilt fillings? This might be happening mainly for two reasons. First, you might have overfilled the layer between the bread slices. The second one that goes unnoticed is how you press the Usha’s sandwich maker. Remember to gently close the lid and allow the appliance's weight to do its job.

Clean Immediately

Once you take out the sandwich from the Usha appliance, turn off the switch. Transfer your sandwich to a plate and quickly grab a damp cloth to wipe the plates of the sandwich maker. This is important because when the plates are cold, the residue turns hard and sticks to the plates, making it difficult to clean. Regular cleaning will save time while maintaining hygiene.
