Can the sandwiches be filled with jelly only or will it work with cheese and ham aswell?

It would probably work with any type of filing as long as you don't over fill it and stay within the borders so that you get a good seal and don't cause the bread to "burst" or tear apart..

It'll work with anything, as long as you don't over-fill :). I make them with lunchmeat and cheese all the time. They're awesome! The only time I have trouble keeping them together is when I'm not using fresh bread. Harder breads break open!

I wasn't to impressed with the outcome of this item. You waste a lot of bread because you can only get one cutout from this tool. You may try jelly just make sure you put a lot of pressure when pushing down.

You can fill your sandwiches with whatever filling you want there really is no limit to what you can use. You just have to make sure to not over fill them and keep the filling within the borders of the press/mold to keep the sandwiches from bursting and the bread from tearing and preventing a good seal. Or you could use the cutter and just skip the sealing process and make cute little sandwiches. I've tried both ways and they turn out perfect either way.

I just checked the label and it says it is for "jam". I don't think it would work for something clear like jelly.

Although I'm sure you could make it work in a pinch, it's really designed for heating from all around - as it is when stuck into a campfire. This provides a even heating and crisps both sides of the sandwich at the same time while heating the sandwich's contents.

Yes-- for me, the 6x3 has been big enough for a half-sandwich. Just know that if it's a loose or liquid substance that is in the 6x3 area, it will run under and around the other two compartments. Also, as other reviewers have noted, there isn't a seal between the tops of each 3x3 compartment and the lid, so it's possible that contents in each compartment could mix if tilted or overturned.

I haven't tried bread, but as a suggetion: I take some of the raw tortillas (tortilla land) and put some cheese and maybe some lunchmeat into it (one tortilla folded in half). It makes awesome quesadilla snacks! My favorite is with a bit of pizza sauce, some pepperoni and mozzeralla.

Depends on the size of the bread. Standard square slices, 1, mayyyybe 2 if you roll the bread flat first. Wider sandwich bread you can easily get 2.

I haven't tried meat but I did try cheese last week and that we a very messy failed exprience. Maybe the ham would be better since it's firmer?

Yes it does but that is why I buy preserves. I don't like just jelly. I hope this helps. These are worth the money and very yummy. I hope its not due to you having Crohn's or anything. Enjoy and Happy holidays.

The machine is specifically designed to make jams and jellies that use pectin as a thickening agent. If your recipe uses pectin and follows similar steps to making jam or jelly (like some other answers here), then you can probably use it. The recipe I found for marmalade cooks until the jelly stage, 220 degrees. I don't know how hot the jam gets in the machine so I don't know if it will get hot enough to make the marmalade without pectin.

Protein bars and wallet? Definitely. The pouch on the front is pretty big, but the sandwiches may be a bit of a stretch. If you don't mind them getting squashed, it should be fine though. Hope this helps!

Sorry Kathy, I have not used my George Forman for sandwiches. I bet it would work. It is a wonderful kitchen appliance.

I think they would probably be OK. You need to ensure the hot pack is HOT. You would probably do well to place paper towels under and between layers of the sandwiches.

This product is excellent!! Works perfect with the containers, no to much with the bags when I use with herbs. I do not try with ham or cheese yet. Hope this help you!

It will hold a jumbo loaf of sandwich bread (square bread) so it will also hold a regular and jumbo size loaf of bread. In other words it will hold both types of bread.

Definitely! We usually make grilled cheese OR we've found that it really jazzes up a plain peanut butter & jelly sandwich too! (Just don't overload the cheese, you need less than you think -- otherwise, you'll have a clean up job on your hands! We made that mistake only ONCE!)

People braver than me have experimented with & succeeded in using ziplock (thin plastic) type bags on the vacuum sealers, but one such person said he wouldn't do it on a new machine, suggested getting one cheap from a garage sale, Goodwill, etc. Do a YouTube search on the topic to get more specific details. The quality of any sandwich is going to suffer after being frozen. Good quality bread freezes well. Any ingredients with a high water content that's in the sandwiches may ooze water when defrosted & cause the bread to be mushy.

No, as long as you preheat the breakfast sandwich maker the egg, cheese, bread and whatever meat you choose will cook at the same time. The egg is actually the only thing that cooks. The bread/english muffin will toast, the cheese will melt and the meat will heat through. You have to use precooked meats; I have been using Oscar Mayer's smoked ham rounds, but as I stated previously, it is fully cooked. I would suggest assembling the ingredients for the bottom muffin before placing them in the cooker. Start off with an english muffin, top it off with a slice of cheese (fold the cheese at the corners to fit within the edges of the muffin) and then add the ham. When the unit achieves its preheated state, the green light will come on, place the preassembled bottom half within the bottom ring. Drop the plate and second ring onto the top of the bottom half, crack an egg on the plate, prick the yoke with a toothpick, sprinkle salt to taste, add the english muffin top and close the lid. Wait 4 minutes, slide the plate aside, and lift the lid off using the bottom handle (make sure to use a potholder) and remove the sandwich using a silicone spatula. Wait for the sandwich to cool and then consume a very yummy sandwich. Follow the directions for clean up. Personally, I wash the rings and plate by hand. Hope this info. helps. Enjoy!
