Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

It was back in the early 1970s that Breville first introduced the humble sandwich toaster and over the past decades it has gone onto become a snacking sensation. It quickly captured the imagination of food lovers and has remained a firm favourite with generations ever since. A delicious toasted sandwich can be prepared and enjoyed in just minutes and from any handy ingredients. It's quick, easy and offers endless options--from sweet to savoury--for those eating a light lunch or a quick snack. Toasties can deliver healthy, homemade food and are great for those on a tight budget or without the time to spend hours slaving over a hot stove. And thanks to Breville's commitment to innovation, the Breville sandwich toaster remains a kitchen staple packed with useful and easy-to-use features.

And continuing in Breville's long-line of innovative sandwich toasters is the VST012. This sandwich press is a little different to the sandwich toasters by which Breville made their name, producing toasted Panini rather than standard toasted sandwiches. These Italian small loaves have achieved fantastic popularity in recent years and have become established deli favourites that are great for lunches or light meals. And now you can take them out of the deli and into your kitchen with the Breville VST012.

This sandwich press is made from heavy-duty stainless steel and makes three sandwiches at a time to help feed hungry appetites quickly and without fuss. It has a floating hinged lid and the top plate is adjustable to accommodate breads of different thicknesses. It's also suitable for grilled cheese. Using the VST012 is simple thanks to the power-on and ready-to-cook indicator lights and cleaning up afterwards is made all the easier with the VST012's flat, non-stick plates. The VST012 is also fitted with a cool-touch handle, non-slip feet and cord storage.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Breville Panini Press 9 Oct 2009
    Amazon Verified Purchase
    I bought the Breville Panini Press to replace my toaster and to use as a toasted sandwich maker.
    The old toaster was difficult to clean and only toasted sliced loaves well. Anu other kind of bread was not successful. As I use Gluten Free bread that is often fragile and breaks up if toasted vertically,the toast was very difficult to extract, leading to toast being charred or bits being left in and going on fire!
    This product is great for use with Gluten Free bread as it toasts horizontally and any depth of bread can be used. The toasted sandwiches are brilliant and it is so easy to clean crumbs, melted cheese or fat deposits off with a swift wipe with a piece of kitchen roll on removal of your sandwich ........all it need to keep it pristine.

    The only criticism is that, as the plates are heavy, if using simply to toast bread it gets pretty squashed. However any kind of bread, bagels, sliced loaves or ciabatta etc.all get toasted to perfection, nice and crispy if somehwat flatter than form a conventional toaster. This is a small price to pay for it's versitility!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Just Fantastic!!! 30 Dec 2009
    By SiveG
    I'm throwing out my old sandwich maker. This panini press is even better than I thought it would be. It heats up so quickly and in just a few minutes, produces toasty hot treats. Because the plates are flat, without those hard to clean grooves, it's a cinch to clean. Another fab feature is the floating hinge which allows you to make humungous sandwiches...then again, maybe that's a bad point! So, bottom line, if you want to buy a reliable, durable and stylish looking panini press at an affordable price, then buy this one. You won't regret it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, compact, panini / toastie maker 16 Feb 2010
    This is quite a bit smaller than most panini presses I have seen. It doesn't take up loads of room on the work surface and it sits vertically for easy storage in the kitchen cupboard.
    It takes any thickness of sandwich or panini which it toasts to perfection without burning.
    Liquid contents can spill out of the sandwich a bit although fully contained within the toaster. Just scoop this up and pour over the toastie for a tasty sauce.
    Cleaning takes seconds with a damp cloth over the hot plates. No ridges or hard to clean areas. Any spillage contained within the bottom plate.
    Compares very favourably with cut and seal toasters which are messy, hard to clean, variable in performance and only do traditional type toasted sandwiches.
    So far, very happy with this purchase.

    No issue with the seller but the handle on the sandwich press has a break in it. It's in two pieces. The item has only been used twice.

    Used this press for a while now, it does the job well, just for me personally speaking think it should really have ribs on the plates to be a true "cafe style" press. Read more

    5.0 out of 5 stars Breville Dynasty Continues
    A great alternative to the conventional type of sandwich toaster. Versatile, well-made and good value. I can't say much more than that apart from 'RECOMMENDED *****'!
