Hamilton Beach Dual Breakfast Sandwich Maker with Timer Ready in 5 Minutes Removable Dishwasher Safe PFAS-Free Non-Stick Egg

I was kind of skeptical about this thing but am having such a good experience with it. Easy breakfast sandwiches and incredibly easy clean up. If you're like me and hate reading directions, don't overlook that each sandwich apparatus pops out and removes from the main griddle machine for easy cleaning. I didn't notice this until I went through a couple of messy clean ups and it made all the difference. I like spraying a little bit of Pam in the bottom which aids greatly in reducing sticking and improves clean up. Very enjoyable sandwich machine and I'm finding myself using it almost daily. Great recipes on their website. Good bang for your buck considering the utility and low cost. Tips: 1) Don't overload the top tray. Just put as little as possible on top of the egg. If you load stuff in the top tray and then close it, the weight and pressure will push the egg through the seams and you'll get runny egg on the base of the griddle plate making clean up more difficult. I just put cheese on top of the egg, wait about 20 seconds and then gently lay the top muffin/mini bagel and gently let the top tray rest on top and I rarely get egg running out the sides. ***Also, take a fork and pierce the egg yolk so that it flattens out. This will also cause less pressure from a non uniform surface. 2) Go easy on the cheese. Too much cheese will just make a mess. 3) A little bit of Pam spray on the top tray lets the bottom slide release much smoother. I heat mine up while I'm getting everything ready. I let 20-30 secs go by before I put the cheese on top of the egg and this allows it to start cooking and I have much less running from the seams. 4.5 minutes and the sandwich is perfect. Love this gadget. I never knew I'd use it as much as I do and it's become an almost daily part of my breakfast routine. Read more

The media could not be loaded. Hamilton Beach is one of those brands with a lot of question marks, at least for me. I decided to write this review because this sandwich maker really outperforms my overall expectations. The videos in the ad are informative and accurate. I have used this to make about twenty breakfast sandwiches thus far and the only time things didn't work out were due to my errors. The total time from initial preheat, (3 minutes) to tasty breakfast is 8-12 minutes depending on your ingredients and tolerance for heated food. The egg can spill over some but the cleaning has been minimal. I have not had a sticking issue but I use a spray to make sure. I find a pair of silicone coated tongs work well to remove my sandwiches rather than a spatula. If you put meat in, the level may tilt and the egg may not spread evenly. It will cook but may leak through to the bottom. Again, not difficult to clean up. I have not used bacon, oooh, bacon!?! but I would not be surprised to see a greasy mess. I would probably use leftover bacon rather than fresh bacon. On that note, you MUST use cooked meats in this appliance. Most bacon is cured but will release a lot of grease. If I were to make an improvement, it would be to include an auto shut off. You need to be attentive to prevent an issue, but since I am usually hungry as a bear in the morning, I am drooling as I wait to hear that beep-beep saying it's breakfast time!! This is an inexpensive alternative to a drive-thru and will require as much time out of your day as waiting in line. Plus, you can make your coffee, or whatever you do, while you wait. unlike sitting in your car listening to traffic reports. LOL. Bottom line, if you are here, you want a way to make an easy breakfast. This is it, if you want an egg based sandwich. Dead short technology has been around way too long for there to be issues related to electrical reliability. I believe user care and the design which eliminates the potential to contaminate the circuitry from normal use is far more important than brand name on such a basic appliance. I wrote this review because I would buy it again for the same price, even if it fails within a few years. Why? Because it would most likely be my fault if it fails. For the small price compared to the drive -thru alternative, my break even is less than 10 trips to the clown show. UPDATE 11/2025 I have been enjoying this sandwich maker for a long time now, and I still find it to be as good today as the first day I used it. I mentioned above, that this brand leaves some questions, but at this point, it is a slam dunk. I have never had a problem with it, it has performed flawlessly, it is a great value and I just love it. Initially, I figured there were enough videos out there to explain all the features and functions, but after some time, I have learned a few things to share with all of you. Mainly, the incorporation of a wi-fi enabled outlet as shown in my video is a great way to ad a timer/switch to my/your routine. I set the outlet for 8-10 minutes, depending on what is in my sandwich, and initiate that process 10 minutes or so from the time I want to eat my breakfast. I prepare all of it the night before, usually with a frozen sausage patty to keep things cool overnight. I get up and go through my routine, and by the time it's all said and done, I am showered, have my coffee in hand, and my breakfast ready to go. This is such a time saver, and very reliable, that I have put a lot of effort into this review for your convenience and understanding, so you too, may enjoy such a wonderful appliance. I hope my pics and video helped you to undderstand in real life, what you are shopping for😀 I am very happy with this product and highly recommend it 😎 I sure hope you found this a help. Thanks👍🏼 Read more

It’s MAGIC. I can’t explain how or why this works so darn well, so I’ll just say I it’s magic. Hamilton Beach knocked it out of the park with this thing. Insanely easy to use, I’ve made perfect “puck sandwiches” (as I call ‘em) every morning with this machine. It’s no surprise that it has more than 25,000 reviews of 4.6 stars! Put a tiny amount of oil or cooking spray on the plates and rings, plug it in, the green light shows when it’s ready. Drop the bottom half of the muffin in the lower ring, top with some cheese, then a slice of Canadian bacon or your favorite crispy strip bacon, then drop the next set of rings down and pour in your lightly scrambled egg, drop the top half of the muffin (yeah, on top of the egg goo), drop the lid, set the timer for 5 minutes. PERFECT EVERY TIME. It’s super easy to clean, too. This may be the greatest kitchen appliance I’ve ever owned! 😄 Read more

Easy and quick for on the run times. Easy clean up. Only able to use English muffins, bagels don’t fit; though have tried the mini’s. Fast preheat. Fast, thorough cooking. Leaves finished product EXTREMELY hot. Wish it toasted a bit more rather than just warm up the muffin, but still good. Read more

This sandwich maker is amazing! I have never been able to meal prep breakfast sandwiches so fast. I can make about 49 or so sandwiches in 2 hours. That includes prepping everything and making them. Cleanup is easy peasy while the inserts slide right out and go straight in the dishwasher. The entire compartment itself though needs to have an on and off button rather than turning on just by plugging it in. Cleaning the main piece is a little tricky as there are open areas and pieces exposed that if they got wet, would probably short circuit the unit. The cooking times vary depending on the type of sandwiches you are making, but most of them cook at 5 minutes. Over time the hot plates start to chip away with the non stick coating so that’s a bummer. The size of this is small enough it will fit in almost any cupboard or cabinet. Read more
